@Aguytrying ftgh which posted better results is trading at 4 bob why recommend people to throw away 18 bob at this loss making entity?

This sounds like something @obiero on KQ thread would say.
I make the assumption you have significant holdings on this counter.

I would buy a share at 1 bob or 100 bob if they are making profits and fairly valued rather than reach for my wallet to get a piece of a company trading at any price(however cheap it looks) and manages to make losses year after year.
Financial statements are a powerful tool for anyone looking to invest into the market

How do you value your shares? lets use a real life example. Between safaricom at 21.50 and I&M bank at 107. which one is more expensive?

@Aguytrying my main point was I wouldn't be advising anyone to buy into a company that has been making losses for over 10 straight quarters while there are better alternatives in the same market.
Buying based on hope most times turns out to be a deadly bullet to your portfolio, that's why I personally avoid such companies

*also note I chose ftgh not because it looks cheap but rather based on your bear wish list and the fact that it posted better half results and is more attractive fundamentally than TPS.

I hope this is now clear enough to get a response to my original question in red above. Thanks
