@ enyands,

I don't recommend that you buy Kenya Re shares. Based on my personal experience, the share price has stagnated, making an improvement of only about Sh.2 since 2008. Besides, their dividend payout ratio has been miserable.
By comparison, KCB share price has doubled within the same period and the dividend payout has been reasonable, the last one being Sh.2/= per share.

From my perspective, the following shares could be a better bet:-

CIC
Bamburi ( though pricey)
Carbacid
KenolKobil
HFCK (though the rights issue clouds the price)

However, making your own research on the target companies is the most recommended path because everyone would give you a different opinion based on his or her personal experiences with stocks.

Are you sure??? Coop has been increasing sloooowly from 12/- to 25/- & gave a bonus. It has much headroom and in 3 yrs it will be somewhere ahead. It sounds good for a patient fellow.

Coop is still a lumbering giant but as to whether they can transform to an agile and proactive bank I have my doubts. If the saccos currently under its fold with an asset base of >1b go the mwalimu sacco way and buy out small tier 3&4 banks or seek their own banking licenses coop will need a new approach which with the current management might be a tall order.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

If you are looking for growing shares I totally agree with @Uchumi. For I am only a beginner, I would say follow the wazuans and make note of what particulars say. you will learn.

Hi wazuans,

Im based far from home and would like to come back 3 yrs from now. I would request on best order to have long term investment (3yrs) in the stock exchange since I lack experience, these are the stocks that look appealing to me

is there are reasonable clear order that someone can follow or advise on ones I can ignore or add


Frankly speaking do your own research. To start you off, here are few questions that you need to find answers to (about a company):

What is it worth? (Market cap)
What are its full year pre-tax profits?
Are profits rising?
Are dividends rising?
Are there any negative things happening?
What is the net debt?
What kind of dividend does it pay?
What does it do and what sector is it in?
Are its markets likely to improve or get worse?
When’s the next statement due?
Is the share price on the way up? etc etc...

Find answers from Wazua's investor forum tools. Yeah, yeah, research, all a bit boring isn’t it? Well, not if you want to make good money and avoid losing it. It doesn’t even take much time!

Fellipe just complicated it with "vocabularies" in simple read through the threads here and open news on various links provided from which...You can make your own decision by looking at history of perfomance,dividends,future profitability and your intend/timelimes of holding the stocks.
