All in the pipeline my friend. All in the pipeline.

Chill, get a cup of coffee and watch. Either from the inside or from the outside! Let's revisit this conversation every two years.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

JM has not gotten member where it is by sitting on his laurels and hoping customers will show up. He has gone out there and hustled for every coin. He has led in innovation at almost every level - too bad CBA upstaged him with SHWARI - but this is just his type of thing.

I have written severally on this forum that Healthcare needs an Equity Hospital/The Indian model. Someone who will provide basic outpatient healthcare without charging 10K plus as happens somewhere in Upperhill and along Parklands road. We sorely need this and I can only hope meba succeeds. You see in India, healthcare is so cheap, heart surgeries cost just a few thousand dollars inclusive of flight cost, accommodation, doctors fees, the works.

Someone needs to shake up healthcare and I wish meba all the best.

Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgement...

Google started as a search engine. They moved to full blown software development. Now they have gone into areas most people cannot even imagine. See links below:

Another classical example is General Electric. They are in:

Electrical distribution

Locomotives

Equity is just getting started! I told you this on February last year.
See post#21 in this thread.

In ten, twenty years (God willing) we will be having a totally different discussion. Some of us in yachts and some of us in boats at Uhuru Park. Choices will have consequences.

How many sectors is Samsung group involved in?

Virtually all sectors.

Top-notch shipbuilder.

Leader in chip dev't & manufacturing.

Leader in display panels.

Builder of the tallest building in the world.

Leader in smart phones/phones.

One of the top insurance companies in their home market.

One of the leading soft drinks producer in their home market.

Also involved in petrochemicals, automobile, medicine etc etc.

It's been done successfully elsewhere.

It can be done here.

Cut Mwangi some slack.

And Apple designs & sells (it doesn't even manufacture) fewer products [phones, computers, tablets and software] and makes 5x the profits of Samsung.

We need QUALITY LOW-COST healthcare in Kenya. Let Equity do what they can do about it.

1) ATMs at all clinics will be Equity.
2) Your payment card will be managed by Equity.
3) The doctors, nurses, etc will have accounts, loans at Equity
4) The branding will promote Equity Bank
5) The clinics will be financed by Equity [loans to the entrepreneurs]
6) Equity has social connections and goodwill. Imports can be financed by Equity.
7) If you need money for treatment, Equity will lend it to you. At 3% per month. Payable by your relatives who will sign guarantees.

So Equity gets a huge boost!

Go Equity! How about some support for a Kenyan brand venturing into a new market. Venturing out of your comfort zone is part of entrepreneurship.

As an investor/business man you change strategy if-
1. You have exhausted your niche/market and can apply your resources elsewhere at a higher ROC;
2. What you are doing does not make you money and you change your strategy to do something that is profitable.

Has EB exhausted banking? Is health more profitable than banking? If the answer to these questions are anything less than a definite yes, then JM is going to the casino with shareholders money.
Life is short. Live passionately.
