WORST: buying Kenya Finance Bank and advising 3 friends to follow me.... It folded before the end of the year and we lost all our cash!



Was it OTC? I don't remember ever seeing this counter trading in the bourse.

@2012; KFB was a listed bank; previously known as Kenya Finance Corporation - used to sponsor the "Professional View" programme on VoK. Was associated with FT Nyammo founder of Inoorero University [formerly, KSPS]

BTW; OTC was also a listed company! That's the bus company which gave the name "OTC" to the bus-stage in Nairobi.... but I never owned their shares...

Hearing of defunct listed companies and investors losing their money sends chills down my spine like no one knows

@cicero with retrospect uchumi was a good investment. How many companies get to be rescued by the government, and the fraudsters prosecuted? When they get re-listed i might buy, if the price is right (below NAV), as people rush to dispose.

DJ C.K is still living the life. Bet he doesn't give a damn about Cicero and his shares. Cicero, maximum of 9 months, i see uchumi coming back to the bourse. But Tusky's is the old Uchumi

I don't know whether he's still a director, but I I highly doubt whether he's still around. Though maybe in centum's board (if not, surely his proxies) since he controls 26.82 percent of the company
GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

@2012,
Does OTC mean 'over the counter' or 'overseas transport company' ?
