It may be better to buy a plot of land which in two years may be worth 4 million that any other asset or anything else in the money market. Real estate is always going up far above the inflation rate but i havent seen that when it comes to shares especially for the last 3 years (2008 - 2011).
I kept my shares when i friend of mine bought land in Membley in 2008 a quarter at 1.5 million. Now the same quarter is 3.5 million and my shares money has not given me a cent.
Shares require Euphoria followed by a huge Dysphoria for investors to make money ...But for the last 3 years Kenyans and foreigners have ignored the market. NSE has lost loads of money for majority of investors ... especially those not schooled enough to follow closely, listen hard and sell out when there is danger ...
Good luck however!
Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it...
