I have just so much cash to deploy.

I am already in "core" investments like:

I&M Applause
Unga Applause [even in a tough year]
and I am slowly adding Centum to the list. Pray

I want to stick to a MAXIMUM of 5 "core" investments for 80% of my assets.

So as you see I have Unga as a manufacturing play BUT manufacturing is suffering in KE vs the financials.

If the price of Bamburi came off to below 100, borrowing rates dropped to below 10%, and the construction industry looked like it was taking off then I would seriously look at Bamburi.

@xxxxx Please post your reasons on why Bamburi?

Dear @Obiero,

Now I understand why you are so confused given English is a tough language to master.

I said "I have just so much cash" which you interpreted as "I have so much cash" but this is not uncommon among those whose command of the English language is inadequate. Your knowledge of the subtleties of the English language is similar to your understanding of accounting and finance.

Certain words like "profit" and "dividend" are missing from your vocabulary but I attribute this to the lack of familiarity with such words.

In other words, so that you may understand, you are proficient in neither English nor Finance.

Nevertheless, please do not fret. As we say, practice makes perfect.

To help you start the process to overcome your inadequacies I have included a link that explains the idiomatic turn of phrase. https://dictionary.cambr...glish/only-so-much-many

Sincerely,

VVS

Makes sense but unless the construction picks up, where will they sell the cement? There's a lot of competition. I read that Simba Cement (Devki) picked up West Kenya's mining concessions.

Big joke of the day: trading hours extended to 5pm. Yet one still can't log in.
