Because of the strong perception of a Kiuk association, Equity always seems to suffer when we have national elections or referendum.
I suspect that this time it might be no different and hence looks a good time for one to sell at after the August 4th

I don't know why people think of Equity as a "kiuk" bank.
When Kisumu was up in flames in 2008, Ukwala was razed to the ground.
If what you are suggesting was true, Equity would have also been targeted. Notice that when Raila was telling ODM supporters to boycott some products such as Brookside, Equity was left out. Hata yeye ako na account huko.
But Equity is a bank for everyone, Wajaluo, Wakamba, Wataita, Wakisii, Wameru, na makabila zote.
Equity are always ahead of the pack and they always seem to have an ace up their sleeves.
You might sell and they make an announcement next week which would boost their share price. Plus they will make around 40% increase in half-year pre-tax profit.
Plus Waithaka, I know you as a fundamentalist, and in this case the fundamentals have not changed. If it goes does to sub 20, it should be an opportunity to add some more.
A final question: Where do you see Equity in 5 years? I know it's not right, but I can't resist resist answering the question myself, "Market leader in the banking sector in almost all spheres"

I have tweaked it to read "perception". NSE like other markets, but maybe moreso gets moved by perception i.e. emotions.
Yes, I am a fundmantalist, but I've learned (the hard way), never to ignore this intangible factor.

The good thing about the bourse is you reserve the right to pick what you like and leave out or sell off/dump what you don't want or are uncomfortable with. When I have slight discomfort with a particular counter in my portfolio I sell and move on.

yekeyeke- it seems you don't have to try hard to a emit a brainfart.
First of all, I am kiuk (and pride to be thank you very much) so the question of being a kiuk-hater arise.
And I called it perception. Perception-idiot

og-watever. you and yeke must be same
ditto

The Reason this Stock has been falling is because a Big Fish is exiting this can be told by Bulk supply order it may soon be heading north.

...... then an African bank

Ati equity will be affected by referendum ha ha ha. We have run out of topics to discuss.

Waithaka is bure kabisa and i will not hide this fact. Yeye ana concentrate only on Kikuyu bashing. Idiot guy Kubafu kabisa kama XXXX XX XXXX.

Why does he not go to Mzungus or mhindis who own the other banks? Kwani equity is the only bank he knows? Kwani the other banks do not operate in kenya? Srust him to only fart out kukuyu katred when ever he takes those roten eggs he loves so much.

Akwende huko. Leave equity bank alone. KCB is headed by a Luo. Does that make it political?

When did it become illegal for any bank to be owened by many shareholders who happen to be Kikuyus?

If you ask Waithaka, he will swear that Helios is also owned and controled by Kikuyus!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ukileta Matusi utapata matusi.
