Guru267-the highest dividend yield on the NSE is 14%. A trader entering a typically high dividend yield share in November can expect to make 25% before or after charges by the time they exit in Feb/March time.
During a typical NSE year (i.e. minus political stresses), you can observe this trend on shares like Williamson, StanChart

Who pays 14% dividend yield? [Please use current prices of shares]

@vv$, but you know 'mkolo' controls our market, with all due respect to your exceptional analytics, if there is such a word.

In 2010... 46 years after independence... seriously, you have to stop complaining/blaming wakoloni...

Singapore is doing exceptionally well... even 'celebrates' its colonial past...

Why? Coz Singapore's LEADERS are clean & smart... We were stupid (& unlucky) to choose thief kenyatta while Singapore got Lee Kuan Yew...

IMHO, one of Kenya's cleanest politician was Joesph Murumbi... He loved the country more than his pocket or ego...

Dont believe everything you see...

Hmmm... but there are 'errors' coz the dividend by Kenol was 'exceptional' & even Kenol said so... Not to be repeated...
Kenol was categorical on why the dividend in 2008 was high... No way they are paying 14% for FY 2009...

BTW, Carbacid split the shares 2:1 so MyStocks needs to 'divide' the dividend unless Carbacid doubles the payout... Which I doubt...

BAT is true... They pay heavy/good dividends... almost 100% payout...

Sometimes taking advantage of kenyan's peculiar trading habits can get you some tidy returns. Kenyans especially the old folk love dividends.
Take Total Kenya, it has a consistent dividend kshs 2.50 per share books close in May. From around November you can pick this stock at 28/- wait patiently until March-May when it peaks at 34-35 when everyone scrambles for the dividend. Capital gains gives you Kshs.6-7 per share. Sometimes if you have a good broker you can end up with the dividend and capital gain. So on average in a good year a return of 17-23%

[/quote]I started investing in the exchange in 2001 when the system was still manual. Even then i noticed that the prices go down in feb and march just before the announcements but then quickly pick up towards the book dates and peak around june. I dont know of any logical explanation. [/quote]

Interesting...I was only looking at most at the last 14 months, didn't know it actually has been a trend over a longer period. Perhaps not for all shares but for a good number...

@sparkly.. just one question... when you talk about you have seen share prices fall in feb/march..
is it by a substantial margin say by more than 8% which can allow traders to take real advantage or is it just a minor fall???

i ask because we are in the middle of feb and no fall in stock prices except the fall caused by the politics..

looks like all the wazurians who thought that there was a "trend" that would cause the NSE to fall in feb/march were TERRIBLY mistaken... glad i knew that it was total nonsense

@guru267 i guess this time we skipped the 'falling' bit straight to the very rapid rise towards june. Have you see the gallop of the agrics and the industrials? Even good old EAPC. I guess its because the market was still in recovery mode from 2009 lows. NS20I will touch 4000 by june.
