After East African Cables announced it’s 2005 results, the company’s shares jumped by 17 shillings or 11% on a volume of only 1,000 shares traded on February 14 (opened at 158 and closed at 175). The next day they dropped by 4 shillings on a volume of 25,627 shares and today they lost another 2 shillings on a volume of 1,560 shares traded.
