I was looking for more than 20bob on the counter and there is no way these results can take me anywhere near so i sold and moved on to something better I admire your exit strategy.

I'm wondering if guys are still holding this counter after the results??? I've so far moved from Mumias (bought at 12.1 and sold @ 12.5) to unga (bought at 13.5 and sold @12.80 :() now I've used whats left and I've bought kakuzi at 81.... Kakuzi i can hold for a year or 2 but lets wait for the results next year... :) Mark 12:29

Someone bought Unga at 12/- & it wasnt me... I am pissed I missed the chance! Anyway, I am back on the Board at 12/-... REAL PORTFOLIO... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Since this thread started in May last year, this is is how the stock has behaved:  Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

@12.50 i have given up Unga today.I need money to increase my WTK.They report half year next month and i am sure they will be good.And a fair chance of a good interim dividend.

All my Unga Sale proceeds are headed to DTB, though it is kind of hard given the rate at which this kind is rallyng. I must confess I lost here having got in at 14 and out at 12.70. Point is don't shy away from making losses. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

As for me, I have held Unga for a while now and I am indeed a long term shareholder in the counter. My main reason for buying it was its heavy discount on a Price to Book Value basis and its low PE for the last 3 years. I tend to buy when there is no interest on the counter so my average price is actually below 10. I thought this would finally be the year when my patience would be rewarded but alas.
The EPS growth was less than expected so price did not get to where I think it could potentially go - in the high teens to low 20s. At least there was a dividend payout, which is a good start. I will patiently wait for it to fall and then continue accumulating.
I am guessing it will not fall much below the current price while still cum-div. So, I will probably buy it ex-div unless it does indeed fall to say 11. I am betting we will once again see a price of 14-15 by February 2011. That is a return that I can live with.

I did expect a higher EPS so that is disappointing... I wanna read the Annual Report to see what they say... BTW, duty on wheat & maize has been dropped to 10% which is good news for millers...

Didn't I say this was one strange counter? Expect strange things to happen to it in the next 1 year.

I bet this is an across the books sale. This happens when you wish to move the price up/down. It's reasonably easy for a well heeled shareholder to do this at Unga. 100,000 shares is just a shade over 1.4 million. I am wondering when the share will get to my buying level if ever - below Kshs 11.

@Jamani. In this business, I have learnt not to say NEVER, but I would place the price of 16 on Unga before the end of 2010 in the realm of highly unlikely. Keep on hoping!
