@guru and others, What muted the drum beats? This stock needs to touch 13 level for a serious shakeout.I used to hold lots of it but dumped when i realized there are too many weaklings holding it.When the price starts to move up,count on the many spoilers to disrupt the up move. There was a time resistance was at 16,then 15 now its at 14.50-14.60.Early this week,we had a low of 13.25(Very significant weakness) But it will move up.Just like KK,this is not the time to buy

And btw PE is 3.6 Shares like all commodities is significantly influenced by the forces of supply and demand.Imbalance of supply-demand causes price movements.

This, just like KK, is in the BUY zone. The counters have good value in them for fundamental investors

Why would a bonus translate to higher prices? I know it has in the past, but it's like get 5 ten shilling coins for your 50bob note.

Going forward,more capital for the company means more investments leading to more revenue and ultimately, earnings.

Not long ago,around June this year, Kenya Re was being discussed in the same breath with Coop. Today, Kenya Re is @14.50 while Coop is @17.80.

If we go that slippery road,we might never come back. I leave it at that.

Dividend yield at 14.5 is 2.7% and a measly pay out ratio of 10% ... Unless the dividend policy improves stagnation on the share price may be the order of the day! Mark 12:29

Not all counters are about dividend, you know that, right?

Every company in the business of investment has to revalue their portfolio. Doesnt all other similar companies do the same? Dont you revalue your portfolio every day? ... Come on, not all counters are about dividend and especially the insurance and investment companies.

Come on, not all counters are about dividend and especially the insurance and investment companies. I would prefer they don't give out divs but bonus shares. My dividends end up on things i can do without. If and when the policy changes to paying better divs, those on board will reap. I will assume @guru jumped ship. Rem what @obiero says about HF after jumping?

Not all counters are about dividend, you know that, right? @Mwekez@ji Kenya re has never had a good dividend policy so when I invested it was not for the dividends! I'm staying put here since my buy price is 10bob... That said if CEOs analysed the average trading patterns of Kenyan investors they would be paying all the dividends they possibly could to maximize capital gains... (Behavioural finance) Mark 12:29

The counter is now beginning to behave appropriately. Should return back to ksh.17+++ Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
