THE family is in banking big time. Wait until the day the mum will wake up and demand that something must be done. And we are talking about an African mum!

imagine if you followed african mum into kenya power and you gave it capital at the right issue at 19/- hoping she will not let it be mismanaged. Hope is not an investment strategy. You are better off holding onto your cash
He he he. I have never understood African mum's inaction at Kenya Power and I mentioned that in the Kenya Power thread. Of course there is a big difference between shareholding (Kenya Power) and outright ownership (banking) and there might be more undercurrents in the former.
Of course it is not an investment strategy (although a smart investors is always cognisant of where the smart money is going). I have been in banks way before some wazuans (SKerians) made careers out of bashing Equity and I have never regretted.
I am buying because I am happy with the prices under the current circumstances. I am not buying hope. The hope is added benefit. If it happens, well and good. If it doesn't happen I'm still okay. Like @vvs and I at KK. Wanunue Wasinunue, tuko sawa!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
