Tomorrow, Aly-Khan Satchu hosts Bob 'suicide' Collymore at MindSpeak.

Mr Collymore, as you probably know, replaces MJ (one of the greatest traders ever, what with the timing of his 'exit') at the helm of the Tita...Safaricom.

Last time I was there, they hosted James Mworia from Centum (23.05.09) 5 months after he had started as CEO & he killed it: he broke down his vision for the company, portfolio re-alignments etc etc and also spoke a bit on personal investing. Everyone left enlightened & impressed.

Assuming you had bought into the stock (CENTUM:KN) that Monday (25.05.09), ON/AFTER hearing Mr Mworia's presentation... and then sold it after 30 days (23.06.09) you would have gotten ~22.7%* return (un-annualized) before fees for that time.

Makes tomorrow all the more compelling:

+ 'Networking'
+ Q&A session with the man himself
etc

Location: Westgate Mall
Time: 0900-1200hrs.

........Do they still serve coffee?

pleas ask mr Bob Call-him-more whether, honestly theUWEZO Tarrif..yaani Una Weza Enda Zain au Orange was a gud idea?

Mind Speak is just on another level.Its just a brain opener. i am sure if @ yaserbigchair just attended one he'll stop sayin we are in a bear market.Make u want to think when did we leave the bull market ..lol !
@proverb . i lov the meanin of Uwezo tarrif.Continue being creative like that and you'll be soon working w/ Safaricom marketin department.

@ProverB
Perhaps you misunderstood me so I'll break it down....



....anyone who might have attended or watched/listened to Mr Mworia's presentation....and then proceeded to buy into the company because they were impressed by the new CEO & his plan would have profited. I'm not saying the run up on the price had anything to do with the presentation.

You would have to look at how ARM, KCB & Serena shares reacted right after their respective CEO's made their appearances to establish/determine if there's any correlation (probably spurious).

However, It's at venues like this when the CEO sometimes 'let's slip' some material, non-public information. e.g. Anyone who attended and was paying attention, knows that Safaricom will have a 'potentially market moving' announcement on Monday or Tuesday and the nature of said announcement.

@Obiero
MJ is why the title of this post reads '& friends'.

Nice shirt.

@GGekko
No disrespect, but I think you should re-read what I posted above.... but this time, do it REAL slow.
