What was the BD, star & Standard continuously and successively releasing scaring news on UCHM only to come days later and release a dossier that the directors have been increasing their stake all along? Who doesn't know MSC routinely closes for maintenance? But the news was packaged the order and manner to cause extreme panic selling. And many sold !!

Speculation on the Mumias Sugar Company counter by local investors incentivised by its low nominal price has pushed the stock to a six-week high price of Sh2.
Mumias gained 30 per cent over the past week, during which the counter saw heavy trading as bargain hunters and speculators bet on the counter that opened the week at Sh1.55, meaning an investor would only need about Sh1,600 to buy into the stock.
“Mumias Sugar edged up on the back of speculative local investor interest,” said Standard Investment Bank in a market report last week.

Why would one only need Kshs. 1,600/=??? Was the minimum number of shares one can buy changed to 1,000??? And they call this research??? Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Only speculators can save this stock for now unless/until Govt. decides to come in “The beauty of success is that it doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.” - Mark Cuban

What is the NAV for MSC??? 6.95/= as at 30 June 14 but the losses have been reducing it by almost 20% annually. A current ratio of 0.4 and a negative working capital means MSC is almost insolvent If you don't want to go to plan B have a good plan A.

I visited tuskys yesterday (a mashinani one) and made a very interesting observation. Most shoppers were buying jogoo, exe, and even hostess(ignoring pembe, taifa etc) as far as flour was concerned. When it came to sugar most were buying the clean and white Sony sugar ignoring that ugly-looking-tuskys-branded sugar, suggesting Kenyans know their brands and want to use them at home. The question to ask is why is mumias sugar not on the shelves? It used to be the clean white(no pun) sugar that everyone was piling on their baskets. Guys at Mumias must pull up their socks. When is the last time a Mumias sugar ad came on tv,radio, newspaper or even social media? Its either management is full of 'akili za kukus' i mean chicken brains or this is clear sabotage Dumb money becomes dumb only when it listens to smart money
