As the Bulls fight, the grass will suffer. This thing might go the KK or Carbacid way. For the uninitiated we the KK faithfull are still waiting for our Sh 21 offer.

Centum bought off the Matibas in Carbacid by private treaty during the protracted BOC-Carbacid takeover bid and reaped big by selling just after suspension or trading.

I admire Centum though. They have the brains, Cash and Connetions to upset the "Rainbows".

This Rea Vipingo situation brings all kinds of interesting questions. Firstly, why do the Robinow brothers want to delist when they already have majority control of the company? The expectation is that they realize that the company is worth more than the value of listed shares and so want to grab that value for themselves? The losers here are obviously the minority shareholders who will be gullible enough to sell at the offered price. With majority control, there's nothing stopping them from realizing the value of the company within the company as it stands but alas! that means that they will have to share the pie with the minority shareholders. Hopefully there's going to be a bidding war on this and send the share price up and up. Alykhan's quote of "Don't underestimate the other guy's greed" is very much on point.
It's going to be interesting to see how this is going to play out - Centum vs Robinow Bros vs Kenyalogy.

It's funny how all of a sudden great interest is coming from REA VIPINGo. this share was a non starter in stocks conversations.

If i still had my shares i would sell at 40.00. Why? Im in stocks business for capital gains. This same share was worth the same amount as it is now and the market valued it at below 20.00 for a very long time. So i would take the 40.00, and look for another investment

This Dilesh Somchand Bid guy is the same guy who got aware with vehicular homicide after killing Yvonne Langat and hitting two of her friends on a Zebra crossing on Thika Road with a 100,000 Kshs fine. He refused to take them to hospital because he "doesn't carry Africans in his car". http://www.nation.co.ke/...-/14c8s3g/-/index.html.
Rea Vipingo better not fall into the hands of this racist douchebag who should be serving time behind bars.

Most likely will be delisted, so never

Wanjiku this.
Wanjiku that.
Wanjiku! Wanjiku! Wanjiku!

What a load of nonsense. Why do I think some folks in Kilifi County want a pay-off from the Robinows or Kirubi?

I wonder how the Market would have reacted to Fy13 (Assuming there was no takeover bids)
