How is Equity a high risk share yet it is a very profitable company with high growth opportunities???

Equity is very high risk!!!

To those who don't own the stock!!!

There is a risk the price will keep rising! There is a risk they will never be able to board the bus. etc. etc.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

some stocks are so joined to the economy such that calling them risky you may be meaning the kenyan economy is risky for investment

Tier 1 capital in Nigeria alone is more than a billion dorras if I'm not mistaken. Watatoboa kweli to go into all those countries in 5 years with their current budget?

Nigeria isn't for 2015 but when Equity is larger. It is better of starting with Ghana.

And it doesn't have to go in all alone but join up with Helios.

Look at I&M Bank which owns 50-75%of its subsidiaries but is in partnership in Tanzania, Mauritius and Rwanda. They have a partner in CIEL from Mauritius which has interests and experience in Tanzania. In Rwanda, 20% of I&M Rwanda (formerly BCR) is owned by Gov't of RW.

So Equity can own 51% but also partner with 1) Helios 2) A local bank or existing shareholders 3) A European/American/Chinese 'strategic' investor or fund

Just bought a huge bulk of equity stock at 52 at market open, I dont think we will be seeing that price ever again

equity will still trade at 47 range bwana

When was the last time you saw 47? To Be exact August 2014 and then it was the highest price registered at that moment. We havnt seen that again.

I can't be emotional to buy equity above 50 for now,let me keep what I have

Sad

I was done buying Equity. Bought enough way back when. But with the current trends, I am wondering if I should not get in for some more at one point. It was not part of the plan for 2015 but at times when opportunities present themselves, you grab them with both hands!!!

Though I have other plans for 2015, I have just added Equity to the watch list! It goes to 45, I cock my gun. Any lower, finger on the trigger. When to pull the trigger.... Read my signature!

What is the impact of the 400 million shares which Equity created for share swaps and private placements
