@aguytrying. Technically ur price targets are wrong. The moves are just to small to even trade, lol.

The higher the risk the higher the return.
Access hit a huge bump when they invested in fibre which was too much of a capital investment. They were also distracted by board room wars.
Was the investment necessary? Absolutely. If they didn't, they would be history by now.
Is Access a better company than 3 years ago, when they were trading at 35? Yes, they were relying on expensive satellite connections. Fibre is much cheaper and they can capture many more customers on a lower cost base.
Will Access recover from their poor perfomance? Yes, their cashflows are still weak and their management talks too much, but Access is not in the same boat as eveready.
Bottom line... If someone is going to buy access, he/ she should consider it as part of the speculative portifolio. Speculate only what you can stomach losing.

The qstn on which shares to invest in, is good one, but the answers given indicate more need to be done to be able to understand the market. The comparison done by wazuans between different stocks is based on what the company has done (or what we belive it has done). The analysis done should be based on giving meaning to numbers, understanding numbers like The market cap of a coy which is the total value of a company. The value is derived by multiplying the current share price by the total number of shares.
Generally, if a company has a low market cap, any one person has greater influence over the share price, therefore the price will exhibit more volatility. For example, if you sell 100,000 shares worth Ksh 1 each, in a company that has 1,000,000 shares, your trade will mean that 10% of all traded share will be exchanged (if you are willing to sell at the market price, this will cause the share price to fall and therefore the market cap).

Price/Earning Ratio (or "PE Multiple")

This is the king of value measurements. The price/earning ratios is derived by the current Share Price divide by Earnings Per Share. Think of PE as the amount of years required to pay off an investment. For example, if a stock has a PE of 10, this means that it will take 10 years for you to make before you get back your capital invested.

This number is generally between 10-20, although newer companies, especially in technology sector, can have much higher PE ratios.

So what is a good PE? Is 10 better than 20? You'd think that taking 10 years to get a return on investment is better than 20 years, however this isn't the whole story. Shares are all about the "future", future earnings, future projections and so a stock that has a high PE usually means it has better growth prospects that ones than ones that have lower PEs.

A stocks future P/E is called its forward P/E.

Lets try and make sense of number before we judge a stock.

KBC, KPLC

ktn , citizen, bibilia husema fm !!!!!!!

@theDeal et al. With an interim of 35 cts for KPLC, or KP if you like it, do/can we expect at least 80cts in the finals! and when?

Well the lack of excitement & delay in release of results is a bad sign I expect a 10-15% increase in PAT but watch out for costs I.e rebranding exercise...increase in staff costs...production costs...etc...overall KP is a utility with great potential but its inefficient

Lol I was spot on...once again!!!

my thinking is that if you arent buying now atleast in small bits you are sure to miss allot ...
but remember since we are now at year's end if santa clause rally doesnt come 2012 will just be lik this year...! thats for sure ...
