I bought quite a sizeable amount both for speculative purposes and long term. I'm looking at the company's future prospects and they look great. It's diversified and in three countries......
The construction boom in southafrica is also a factor particularly with the worldcup just around the corner.

Market is down across the board [VituVingiSana]

It seems the effect of the following factors:
- Elections
- Safaricom's "pending" OFS
- Xmas/Holidays
have affected market sentiment. Most shares are "down". It is tough to know whether they will stay that way for long but expect the status quo until AFTER elections.
Whether it is Raila or Kibaki,the economy is moving forward. I was disappointed by Raila's silly comment about GOK's stake in KQ & forcing KQ do transport drugs!
OCHL should benefit from increased construction in Kenya & S.Africa.

Thanks a bagful for ur tips. StartingOver,I take your question seriously and the answer is yes! I may be ignorant of insider knowledge,yet I do not OCH is a poitical company considering its history and intl presence.
Indeed if I had Ksh. 600M,I would buy the thing by Xmas! For now,I am trying to reach 10000shares. In fact,I will not be buying SafCom. When you guys get your refunds in January,you will make us millionairs.
I just wanted to confirm whether the OCH slump is based on fundamentals. But if its just the rights speculators offloading coupled with the general crunch at NSE,then yes I would buy the whole company especially at this time.
Caveat! Am not an expert,so do not take my views to the bank,lest you burn your SafCom warchest!
When buying shares,ask yourself,would you buy the whole company?

OCH Nosediving? [cindano]

Maybe this would help...
look at who represents who or what in OCH....
then look at the political climate...
then deduce...

OCH Nosediving? [StartingOver]

Its hard to determine if this stock is nosediving or not given that the whole market is affected. I would suggest,give it at least until after the elections and see which way it goes. I bought their rights at .60 cts and so now I am at 14.60 and watching keenly.
And on a light note,would you buy the whole company? Just a dose of your own medicine.
