Equity market stalled since last quarterly review in August 2009 , as bond activity goes full steam
Diamond Trust
Kenya Airways
KCB Bank Group
Safaricom
Scangroup
Stanbic (Uganda)
Review:
Best performer: Stanbic (Uganda) is up 17% this quarter, then Safaricom up 7%
Worst performer Scangroup down 6% then Diamond Trust down 5%
In: none
Out: none
Increase: none
Decrease: none
Unexpected gains/losses:
– Kenya Airways paid a dividend despite a record loss
– Registered for Safaricom m-pesa dividends which will be paid today (November 12)
Performance: The Portfolio is down 1.4% while the Nairobi Stock Exchange NSE 20 index is down4.4%. Safaricom has more weight on NSE than here, but either way is poised to boost both portfolios
Events & Outlook:
– No trades or new investments made in the quarter, but took part in one unlisted agricultural investment
– Missed out on Family Bank capital raising /rights issues as it is locked out to new investors (since September 2009) Ð (its due to close within a week)- – Passing on another Uchumi rescue plan which also closes within a week
Uchumi needs to give up on trying to get money from existing shareholders… they need to convert the GoK debt to equity &/or find a sugar daddy…
Spam alert (see above)
Safaricom… Whoever got in at 2.80 made some sweet profits.
I took a bet on that share and laughed all the way to the bank.

Hello,
Having had a wonder round your site i am very impressed.
I have linked to you at my own blog, so if you have some time go have a look.
I have just finished an article on the role of the Web in African development.
Would value your thoughts.

Coldtusker: Nakumatt getting a new sugar daddy. What’s odd about uchumi they suddenly turned round this year and said they did not want strategic partner (after 2 years of trying to find one)
