Why was it rising with crazy multiples. Teach me master Some shareholders exiting part or whole of their positions after 10x gains in 2 years. Their shares. Their profits. Has Paul Wander Ndungu exited? I do not think so. Why? He has Diamond Hands. https://x.com/kahome_ste...089374222833398076?s=20
Meanwhile, others are looking at 460 in 8.5 months after FY26 results are announced. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

I don't think they would intentionally want to cause a rally. It would just be a side effect of their size. However when prices rise it also reflects as growth in their Assets Under Management and can there charge higher fees so they don't mind it either. They raised 50 billion in the last year and that money must go somewhere. The NSE is usually moved by a few millions, try buying a few million shillings worth of stock at market price and soon you realise you are the market, price instantly jumps 10 percent. Sembuse 50 billion. For as long as their cash raising efforts persist at the level it has been they will have a problem of deployment of the same at the NSE and must by necessity raise prices. There is a big chunk of the NSE float that is not traded, akina Vodacom Safaricom shares, GOK stakes and even akina NSSF and other large shareholders don't trade so the free float is not much and a big inflow will affect prices. It's not as if I am complaining about rising NSE prices. Or maybe we wait and see if they ever have a year where withdrawals outpace cash raises and we see if prices at the NSE change.

You have a different kind of problem, whatever you buy rises and so your portfolio looks better and better quarter after quarter. I think it would be nice to see a report of their NSE holdings every quarter. Na isifichwe under Nominee accounts. Let everyone see what their holdings are and changes every quarter.

Consider partial offload at KES 200 @Maich - Time to buy DTB as soon as it touches 200!!!! Let's recap in April 2028 after FY2027 results are out. Thanks @VVS. I have been building a war chest for Dangote Refineries. I want to talk to SBG next week and understand what is in store for us. The information out there is not consistent and Dangote himselfu keeps confusing me in interviews. Mara they want to give priority to retail investors, mara sijui Nigerians bla bla bla etc. I want to understand the likely structure so that I know if I should keep building the war chest or deploy my resources elsewhere. The idea is to throw all cash I will be having at Dangote Refineries then get back to NSE with the refund and new cash. I am NOT selling any of my current holdings though to fund the participation in the IPO. Just new resources. And all dividends!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I assumed refineries are very long-term investments with long payback period and low returns.
