@Sparkly - When I get a bus at a bus stop and I don't know where it is going, I don't just let it drive off. I try to find out where it is going and which route it will use and then I make a decision. Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

When you don't understand something 100%, the first thing is to accept this fact then if it is possible, do what you can to get additional information. If we simply walked away from things we don't understand, then everyone would be very busy walkin away from everything.

I'm trying to understand what effects the KPLC restructuring will have. If & when I feel I have, I will make (an informed) decision.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

@MaichBlack - Very smart thinking about the bus...

Anyway, I am bullish even at 180 (of course, I was VERY bullish at 135/- when I first started following it...)

The ownership of KPLC is bound to change substantially as it emerges that the government has approved a plan to float a massive rights issue that will permit existing shareholders of the company to increase their stakes in the profitable company....more from the east african

I would say that the nature of the new information on the conversion of ps to os, is not such as to cause a sharp rise in the short term. Therefore, I would say, hold your horses while you research,watch mkt reaction to the info and await further details. I would move in just before or at the point where the govt actualizes the reduction of its holding to 40%.

@skylat please try and get your facts straight for the sake of wazurians... GOK is currently holds 40% of the ordinary shares which will increase to 75% after the conversion and reduce to about 50% after the rights issue...

the share price will rally significantly as a result of the share split because this is a stock desired by many kenyans but currently out of their reach...

How accurate is the story is the question... Of late, the newspapers have been trying to sell more papers...

Look at the Equity-HFCK-NBK 'connection' being pushed... The Equity-HFCK connection, we know of... but how does Equity buying HFCK help it acquire NBK???

No-one has given me a plausible explanation...

So until the restructuring info on KPLC comes out... I treat the newspaper stories as merely entertainment...

There is something very sinister about this KPLC "restructuring".There is more than meets the eye.A little information is very dangerous!
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

As VVS likes to say, as long as Kenyans need electricity KPLC will continue minting profits. After the split, I'll jump in with both legs.

Both the NBK/KPLC stories in the E African are exactly the same so I think somebody is pusing papers.

The story on the Eastafrican lacks credibility. It could have been written by a journalist on ''teaching practice'' at the paper.
