the dealio-if you so berieve in the stock, mbuy now ama?

you are looking short term...when Rwanda,SS,UG and TZ break even....we will never see KCB at 21 again...this is an opportunity of a lifetime...August i go in...i see value here...call me crazy but KCB come 2012

In the long-term as Keynes said, we are all dead.

Don't forget KCB has been in TZ since 1920s but has not yet been profitable. Ditto Juba et al.

I still think the rise of Equity to the top (in all aspects) in like 5 years is unstoppable. Its current rate of growth is phenomenal and its massive expansion is paying off.
How come its takes KCB 3 times the time to realise the benefits of its expansion?

True dat. That is why everyone else will still be standing when the house of cards comes crashing........

My 2 cents, there is no "house of cards" that will be crashing. Do you really believe those stories that Equity will fall. Haha. I almost pissed myself!

VVS, Equity at 24 bob and KCB at 15 bob, which one would you buy? Lets say a for a period of 5 years.

KCB is still a KANU stronghold.
Look at the staff especially the management (old Guard):
Most of them ni Jogoo.

Agreed,

In the past , there was a perception that Equity was a political bank ....favored by the Central Bank( non disclore of directors exception) , Treasury (channeling of budgetary funds like women and youth funds through the bank) and top Government figures Kimunya ,Ndungu and HE...

In the course of time ,Equity has shed this perception and become a market leader in innovation ....Benki ya Mwananchi......Mkesho.....banking facilities for the poor...
This has made equity a perennial award winner both locally and internationally .....I believe the assesors of the awards esp international awards are not politically influenced ......are they ?
Equity must be doing something that sets it apart.....

the sooner the folks on SK realize that KCB is going noweher the better...just goin thru the info memorandum and it seems that kcb has no idea wat it wants to do with the 15 bn it plans to realize..apart offcourse from sortin out some prudential ratios(which ratios they dont mention)...wat really jazzes me about this rights issue is that it will cost KCB a staggering KES 470mio odd( a cool 21mio on pr!)...VVS said it best..KCB shud hav sought out an anchor shareholder...maybe ACTIS,IFC ama proparco...doubt kcb managemnt wud want an anchor shareholder thats a foreign bank becoz they wud all be dismissed for gross incompetance
