hisagal: QUITE A LOT ON OUR PLATES
http://hisagal.blogspot.com/2007/04/quite-lot-on-our-plates.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2007. QUITE A LOT ON OUR PLATES. Access looks to be slowly picking with the trickle of clients increasing gradually with each day at brokerage houses. Of Course no queues have been seen as yet, and none my be seen as this offer may not pull large crowds with the high cut-off and many questions in investors heads regarding the future prospects and the possible risks. Now only a date and a price separate us from one of the largest IPO in. P O Box 45213, 00100. Tel: 254 - 20 - 3876400.

hisagal: OF MARKET ORDERS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
http://hisagal.blogspot.com/2007/02/of-market-orders-and-sleepless-nights.html
Friday, February 09, 2007. OF MARKET ORDERS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. Some investor placed a purchase order at a ‘best market’ price. The order went to the market, and was executed at a price of Kshs. 900, for a share that, at the close of the previous day, was at Kshs. 168. The share-price closed at Kshs. 368 on that day, remained dormant for a few days, and has edged downwards since then. Kenya Airways or example, having closed at Kshs. 120 on the previous day can trade at between Kshs. 100 and 132...Our m...

hisagal: Fixed income securities
http://hisagal.blogspot.com/2007/03/fixed-income-securities.html
Thursday, March 22, 2007. Ok, away from the depressing world of stocks, and on to the fixed income side. Odegle has given us quite some insight on the bonds world and I would love to join him in this discussion. Fixed income securities can best be appreciated under three different concepts;. The duration (term)- long or short term,. The issuer – government or corporate. The coupon disbursement – fixed or floating rate. Floating rate bonds are pegged to the 91 day treasury bill. Interest is usually paid a...

hisagal: What shall stir the bull back to action??
http://hisagal.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-shall-stir-bull-back-to-action.html
Saturday, March 17, 2007. What shall stir the bull back to action? With the bourse struggling from the damaging publicity wrought by the FT exposure and consequent - not so good - tales of brokers and market loophole, nothing the listed companies do seems to be touching a sensitive nerve on the investor. Not the share splits, generous dividends, bonus, nor strong profit growth appear to be pushing any correct buttons. Kengen also seems to be dipping gradually and getting uncomfortable close to its offer ...

Friday, September 29, 2006. DETERMINING STOCKS TO INVEST IN. Shares identification will largely depend on whether you are bringing in a lump sum amount or you plan on Drip-feeding you trading account. A lump sum approach enables you as the investor to spread out your funds over a number of counters in different industries thus diversifying your risk. It also gives you a chance to balance out your portfolio down the risk reward and investment horizon gamut. Links to this post. Monday, September 25, 2006.

hisagal: December 2006
http://hisagal.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 14, 2006. Another dismal allocation for Eveready applicants as investors are forced to settle for less than 20% of share application following the offer oversubscription. It is now becoming a disappointment to eager subscribers who have to brace the never-ending queues to put in their applications, only to have a larger part of their forwarded funds returned. The allocation gets smaller and smaller with each IPO and investors will soon get wary of channeling their funds this way. Every...

Thursday, January 25, 2007. Ground set for IPO race. With Vodaphone, a part owner of Safaricom, having given their go-ahead for the government to borrow funds using its 60% holding in Safaricom via Telcom, the government can now embark on some much needed restructuring ahead of its privatization which the government targets for before the end of the year. In yesterday’s performance, out of 39 active counters, 27 declined, while 12 realized appreciations. Nation Media captured the highest declin...On the ...

hisagal: The good, the bad and the ugly results
http://hisagal.blogspot.com/2007/02/good-bad-and-ugly-results.html
Tuesday, February 20, 2007. The good, the bad and the ugly results. Equity Bank however was the show stopper with pre-tax profits hitting an all time high of Kshs. 1.1 bn., 120% above the previous year’s Kshs. 501 mn. Disappointment still set in as hopes of a rumored split were dashed and instead a consolation 2 for 1 bonus issue was declared much to investors chagrin. Interesting thing about NSE investors, they rush for the split and reject a bonus yet a split has no value addition unlike a split. OF MA...
