@obiero ... When were City Trust shares ever manipulated? There was value not recognized by many. Did you know City Trust was a major owner of I&M Bank shares? Buying City Trust was similar to buying I&M Bank shares? And City Trust told the shareholders that every year [back as far as I remember] and those who were patient, harvested. BTW, the chairman of City Trust was a 50% owner of City Trust shares. He never sold his shares as long as City Trust was City Trust.
Now compare that to my travails with KQ. Useless buggers [board and management] who had few shares [0.01% or less] were playing with fire to expand the airline [debt] and failing miserably. Losses in 2012-13 and 2013-14 (& wait for 2014-15 HY] wiped out profits made since Titus [zero shares in KQ] took over.
Give me another City Trust any day!
