I have KPLC shares. KPLC is not a good idea for now because government involvement makes it susceptible to the politician's street pronouncements. An example is the recent attack on the price of power by the DP Ruto which saw the stock tumble to a new low.
BBI will solve it :)

I've just exited KPLC. I hope I don't have to regret it and have to post it as 'What was my worst mistake in trading' on a different thread here months later

Just grown really frustrated with it and looking to buy in a counter that reflects my expectation.

If it were me I would be adding more (anyway that's what am doing). But if it's a cash emergency that came up, you don't have to regret, you live to fight another day! Seeing is believing

I'm still sitting pretty with KPLC, managed to average down to the current prices up from 21.50 during rights. “The beauty of success is that it doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.” - Mark Cuban

I hope you invest the proceeds received from KPLC wisely.

Kplc is worth a look,after the heavy trades at 13 i thought the bottom had come but still slipping down,its worth a buy.i think the devil may not be as black as we want to paint him. "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."
