I agree, however centum i cannot buy. I will not do business with CK, personal decision.
Amen! Jamaa screwed up Uchumi!
If the Suresh Shah jamaa (who remembers him?) was in charge, then Uchumi wud be bigger than Nakumatt is today!!!
5/- dividends were sweet... and this is in the 1990s!
@VVS those were the days. I don't think i will ever forgive CK for taking a perfectly good company and doing to what what the politicians did to Mau.
Bought Uchumi @16 (IPO) & dividends were v good. Better than savings account unless you went for Treasury Bills. Uchumi high was 60/- (if I am not mistaken)
I bailed @45/- after Titus Mugo (Shah's heir) was kicked out.
CK destroyed the firm. It cut dividends, then stopped dividends, then did a Rights Issue, then folded up!
I bought shares in the Rights Issue (coz CK had left) but I had no idea how bad it was. I heard merali buying in (& selling out) & I bailed again! Another unsavoury chap!
LUCK played a huge role for me but I still got stuck with some shares!
