2023 and part of 2024 were very good years for me at nse where i doubled my investment coutesy of kcb and bamburi. But the decision to wait for bamburi buyout payment - by Amson has been very costly as i have missed the current rally towards the end of last year and currently ongoing with 80% of my investment tied at bamburi. My big question is when are they going to pay, Anybody with information? or we will remain hostages for the better part of the year!
Payments were made in Dec 2024

Then your shares were not submitted or accepted. Contact your broker to find out why. Or the registrar handling the buyout. Check the IM for details on who the registrar is.

The likes of kina @deadpoet are looking at paper gains of +100%. Not an every day occurrence!
Crazy thing is given that Hima sale cash/per share = 33 even if we lower the special dividend to 20 bob(Amason's said they don't want the special). That is a return of over 30% and then wait for Amason pay day. Crazy!


Heh, well not quite +100%, my ABP was 38, so my gain is about 70%

When I bought it the price soon fell to below 30 (that's when I really should have piled in). I actually thought the investment was a dud, but I had no choice but to keep on holding over the years. When it rose above 30 I just kind of held it since I didn't have immediate plans to redeploy the investment. It was also below my ABP. Then boom! Announced takeover.

This stocks trading thing is not for the faint of heart.

It needs stamina. And never trade with funds that you cannot afford to lose
