I know an old lady who bought 100 BBK shares during IPO in mid-80s. She paid sh1,600 for them.

To day they have "grown" to 28,800 shares worth about 380k. that's an annualised 24% average growth. Excluding dividends (this year alone she'll get over 30k!]. Not bad.

Can we say she has kept them for life even though she is still alive?



BBK was good before but it has recently followed the bread and butter pattern :- Giving special dividends without retaining cash. That is eat now and forget about tomorrow.

It means it has lost ideas or growth focus.

When you're old these companies will definitely be African Giants...
And KK has disappointed us! No longer is it vying to be a regional giant after the debacle in 2012!

There will always be a demand for food-grade carbon dioxide from Brewers, bottlers etc etc
Since 2012 2h3n @BGL posted the above, Carbacid has jumped through the roof. And then some.

I would have picked EABL a year ago but now i can't.
"Diageo attributed the slower growth
to introduction of tax on the low-
cost Senator Keg and VAT on basic
items like electricity, proceeded milk
and petroleum setting off a wave of
consumer price increases.
The sales tax reduced consumption
of discretionary items like beer on
reduced disposable income" www.businessdailyafrica....90/-/cg73a7/-/index.html
