Billionaire investing in Zimbabwe Aliko DangoteDangote Group in meetings with Zimbabwe Ministry to ensure there are no delays in the deals they have already discussedSome indications on the net suggest looking at unfavourable investment policy whereby foreign companies only allowed to own 49% of the company. The situation that we have with AFriag. Ministers say that the laws will not be bent for Dangote but Dangote people seem to be saying they are leaving the country until the deals have been signedDangote is reputed to be Africas' richest man09 Sept 2015www.allafrica.com/stories/201509090199.htmlwww.newsday.co.zw/2015/09/01/dangote-eyes-mega-investments-in-zim/Dangote eyes mega investments in ZimSeptember 1, 2015 in National, NewsEmail, RSS FollowinShare5Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote says his group will set up an integrated cement plant, coal and energyprojects in Zimbabwe in a major boost for the country’s efforts in securing foreign direct investment (FDI).BY NDAMU SANDU/AARON UFUMELIDangote, Africa’s richest man with a net worth of $17,2 billion according to Forbes Magazine, flew into Zimbabwe yesterday, where he met a number of ministers, winding up after meeting President Robert Mugabe at State House.He was in the country to scout for opportunities and invest “like we have been doing in all the other African countries”.Dangote told journalists yesterday after meeting Mugabe that the investments would take place “as soon as we get permits” adding that the government had promised to accelerate the process.Aliko Dangote with Emmerson Mnangagwa“As soon as we get things right, we will move. We are not here looking to invest. We have already made up our minds to invest so we are here and we will invest,” he said.Dangote said his team would be back in the country to finalise on the projects “to create jobs and also help Zimbabwe develop its economy”.“On cement, we have options looking at areas where there is limestone, gypsum . . . these are the areas that we will look at,” he said adding that his group would set up a coal-fired power station.In an earlier interview after meeting Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Dangote said the cement plant would be bigger than all the plants the group has.“We want to set up an integrated cement plant here that will be bigger than all the plants that we have. We look at setting up something that can translate into a million and half tonnes so that even when we continue to use cement, there won’t be a shortage of cement here. We will make cement available,” he said. Dangote said the coal his plant was using in Zambia was being imported from Zimbabwe and it was, therefore, prudent to invest in coal locally.The Dangote Group has cement manufacturing plants in South Africa, Zambia, Senegal, Ethiopia, Congo Republic, Gabon and Tanzania.The group also has bulk cement packaging terminals in Accra (Ghana), Monrovia (Liberia), Freetown (Sierra Leone) and Abidjan (Ivory Coast).It also has bulk cement import or export terminals in Port Harcourt and Lagos in Nigeria.The Dangote Group is also into sugar refining, salt refining, flour and semolina milling, and noodles and pasta manufacturing, among others.Dangote also met Foreign Affairs minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, Energy and Power Development minister Samuel Undenge, Tourism minister Walter Mzembi, Mines and Mining Development minister Walter Chidakwa and Transport and Infrastructure Development minister Obert Mpofu.The proposed investment is a major boost for the country that is seeking FDI to help rebuild its economy.Zimbabwe has been trailing regional neighbours in terms of FDI inflows, as potential investors cite policy inconsistencies and threats caused by the empowerment legislation. The legislation stipulates that at least 51% of all companies operating in the country should be in the hands of locals.Last year, Zimbabwe recorded FDI inflows of $545 millio

Re: More consolidation The Mitsui deal appears to have been priced at a level that factors in future synergies by extracting greater value from a lower combined cost base. Also at a ceiling price that dissuades rival offers.

ALK Misty Creamybib 09 Sep 2015

Re: Ouch! Hi Rab,If you look on 'Analysis' and 'Technical Insight' I find this very useful for timing my entries into stocks.Now look at the charting analysis for UKX and it looks horrendous. So many long term and intermediate bearish patterns have emerged. It could be argued that the charting analysis is not totally appropriate for a index which accepts and rejects members but it is a starting point to look a specific members of the index.Having looked at many members of the UKX the picture isn't much prettier. For example Glencore, TESCO and BP. and heavily entrenched in a bearish chart and the rebounds over the last couple of days really do not change that.Personally and I caveat it with a WTFDIK the value to be had is in small and medium size caps where low prospective P/E s are available (there are not that many) and companies which appear to be growing regardless. ALK looks very attractive on these metrics but I would want more buying to confirm this. My concern is that the price increase today will be met with sell the news having bought the rumour, that said I can't see price build up on the rumour.I hold no FTSE100 stocks at the moment but I feel there some AIM and small caps which are screaming buys.In short I would have held ALK if I had it and dumped some of the larger lumbering stocks instead.

Increased liquidity! Virgin Money investor Wilbur Ross near-halves stake (ShareCast News) - Virgin Money shareholder Wilbur Ross sold a further 50m shares in the challenger bank, cutting his residual stake in Virgin Money from 23% to 12%. The WL Ross & Co shares, which were placed with institutional investors by Goldman Sachs in accelerated bookbuild, were sold at 405p, a discount of 4.4% to Tuesday's closing share price. The 12% stake is now subject to a fresh 90-day lock-up, after the previous one expired, while James Lockhart, Ross's board representative will now stand down, according to Reuters. WL Ross acted quicker than we had expected, said Investec, adding that it is possible that further share placements within the UK challenger bank space may follow given that private equity majority stakeholders are now out of lock-up at OneSavings and, as of today, Aldermore. "For some, the increased liquidity in Virgin Money shares will in itself represent a positive. For us, the key attraction is that Virgin Money now trades on only 1.6 times 2015 expected triple net asset value for a 14.1% 2017e tNAV which, on our forecasts, is materially ahead of all FTSE 100 banks." .
