glad to see bargains too chief
I am not a fan of CFC vs other banks which rely on more on EAC [especially Kenya] vs SS. I find SS a volatile market & unreliable i.e. too much gov't influence. And CFC Stanbic Bank is not listed but the Holding Company is which includes the insurance arms. At the end of the day, which is the best value?
I am going with I&M as it drops in price. I expect better results out of Mauritius & Rwanda in 3Q. An acquisition or greenfield is in the works in Uganda but that is a crowded market.
I like Equity but it faces some major challenges in 2013. After these are cleared up [or the price falls precipitously] is when I will look at Memba.
As for Simba, the NPL does worry me despite their assurances. Who is the client who restructured the loan? Is the client really back on track?
