@ enyands,

I don't recommend that you buy Kenya Re shares. Based on my personal experience, the share price has stagnated, making an improvement of only about Sh.2 since 2008. Besides, their dividend payout ratio has been miserable.
By comparison, KCB share price has doubled within the same period and the dividend payout has been reasonable, the last one being Sh.2/= per share.

From my perspective, the following shares could be a better bet:-

CIC
Bamburi ( though pricey)
Carbacid
KenolKobil
HFCK (though the rights issue clouds the price)

However, making your own research on the target companies is the most recommended path because everyone would give you a different opinion based on his or her personal experiences with stocks.

Are you sure??? Coop has been increasing sloooowly from 12/- to 25/- & gave a bonus. It has much headroom and in 3 yrs it will be somewhere ahead. It sounds good for a patient fellow.

Coop is still a lumbering giant but as to whether they can transform to an agile and proactive bank I have my doubts. If the saccos currently under its fold with an asset base of >1b go the mwalimu sacco way and buy out small tier 3&4 banks or seek their own banking licenses coop will need a new approach which with the current management might be a tall order.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
