If you thought the KES was a piece of crap, the UGX is a piece of crap that the crap crapped! via @coldtusker
No news you have said that before!
Your investment strategy in UG or any other smaller country should be for long term gains (10 years) minimum.
Quite unlike you I am rather sending more few USD to translate to plenty UGX to invest at the time you are scared, because on the long term things will be very good in UG I tell you.
Are you no longer a WB follower, why do you want to run away when everyone is scared ? This is the best time for foreigners like me to take positions in Kenya and small UG, as small USD translates to a basket full of money in local currency.
If I am a Kenyan I would take more interest in Uganda during this temporary confusion because post M7 regime plus petroleum will transform Ugandan Economy in future.
Kenyan Banks (KCB, Equity, DTB) are already there, Uchumi, Nakumatt, Textbook Centre (of sarit center) are already there. West African banks (UBA, Ecobank) are already there. Nigerian Insurance company IGI, bought a controlling stake in NIC Uganda.
If they are making stupid investment decisions, yours trully @young is happy to join them to be stupid.
