A friend recently lost his job and seeking advice on possible investments to guarantee himself some income as he looks for another job. Luckily he has been investing in the stock exchange and has a portfolio of approximetely Kshs 4 million. I have adviced him to offload some of the shares as the dividends yields are too low and invest in money market. As he contemplates what to do, your ideas may save a soul.

@evolve give us more details. If your friend is young and likely to get a job in 1 or 2 months he can liquidate some of the stocks for tarmacking. If older and chances of getting a job soon slim he shld cut living expenses first - move to a cheaper house, take kids to cheaper schools, sell car. Then he can look for job or start biz. 4m is too little to produce a passive income that can sustain a middle class family.
Life is short. Live passionately.

Forex is highly rewarding but very risky. It will take you like 2yrs to learn with lots of research and practice A/C with no surelity of succeeding. You should only try it if you r stable financially

@sparkly, if older he probably has a mortgage. He should liquidate it with the cash. That will protect the investment and assure his family a roof. Food and fees to be followed up later.

The guy was employed. That's how he made his money. He lost his job.

How about liquidating some of it. use some to speculate on properties? He can also try this agency banking though it is also very risky given all the robbery going around.... but he could get something that will keep him going in the meantime.

@Evolve,

I think your advice was wise.
First to pay rent for 1yr (if you're renting). If he has kids in school he should put half money (2m) in a fund. I'd recommend Income fund or money market with Britak or where you can get a minimum annual return of 8% (I use britak) and with 2m you're guaranteed of at least 160k per annum divide that by 3 school terms and you get 53k. When school fees and rent are taken care of life becomes manageable.

BBI will solve it :)

My friend is in his mid-thirties and has a young family (two kids aged 10 and 5). Luckily, he has a house in the suburbs which he does not pay a loan. The house is incomplete but is habitable.

He could liquidate part of the money and put in afixed deposit account i.e 2M renewable every month something like 4%-6%. will be assured of every month kidogo income and principle preservation. if the issue of rent is taken care of.

Tell your friend to "Kaa Ngumu" and aggresively look for another job. Selling those shares SHOULD BE THE LAST RESORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only after he has been out of a job for several several months. Right now he needs to concentrate on cutting his expenses to bare bones as he looks for another job.

Guys just check out today's Business Daily. The banks are sitting on too much deposits. The average deposit rate is about 3.42% and those with big money ( Fund Managers, Insurance cos, EABL, HNWI) are gettign a maximum of about 6%. There is no banker in his good mind who can give you 72% p.a.. Hakunaa.

I think QD is 4-6% P.A renewing every month.

3-4% would mean the bank was losing money. Unlikely.
Either buy a plot or put it in Equity.
