I wanted to put some few shillings, about 200k in one of the above stocks for a short period of about 4 months.

Which one of the above would give maximum return?or which other stock would wazuans recommend?

both are equally gud but i cud advice u to take EABl because its liquid and it will gain from a one-off gain from sale of 20% of some of its investment.

Transaction fees, to buy and sell are about 4.5%. So if you want to profit stock has to gain at least 4.5%. Dividend yield may be about 5% but that is paid in 2H.

NSE still week so no assurance of Capital gains.

Bottom line you will lose money is you "invest" at the nse with a 4 month horizon. Put your money in T Bills, money market fund (has no transaction fee) or a call account. you will make 2-6% on for the four month, risk free.

200k on 364 days T Bills based on last interest rate of 21.961% would give you Ksh 30,542.20 after Witholding Tax, Interest PAID UPFRONT. If you are still determined to make a loss at the NSE as it seems you obiously are, then use the 30,542.20 on Everready or Access. That way you will achieve your objectve of making a loss at the NSE and at the same time preserving your capital!

Ati determined to make a loss!
