Nimimi Investment Fund is geared at giving to our clients a GAURANTEED return of no less than30% per month for six months. We invest in the low priced stocks and hence the gaurantee. We are a team of exprts who have invested successfully for the las couple of years. If u are interested put ur email address and i will send u a ccopany profil.

100k is not money to invest. Buy yourself several beers,take a lady out and get yourself a better phone. thats all it can achieve

You r learning ur practicals early. It has taken me longer,infact much longer. Unlike in school where life is so easy,yes exams r easy since it's theory,and friends r many out here u r just alone and even ur wife/husband if u've 1 may not like ur ideas. You just said u landed on manna as told in books? Put it in a risk free investment vehicle for ur kid's education or RTS! It wasn't meant 4u. When u make ur money u can afford to invest it in risky investments whereby in case u lose u'll feel the pain and learn some lessons.

Watch out for con men! If you decide to get into shares in my opinion youll need to invest long term. Get advice from cfc stanbic or some other broker,various forums on shares in here and invest in a long term stock that will give some safer investment. Dont expect to make any major returns in few years.

You could also consider studying the money market. Study trading for at least 6 months before investing any real money.

@ Kamaa no such thing as GAURANTEED as u noticed i ws being alittle sarcastic and frustrated by such impatience on the part of Lech....
as faa says 100k cn do little for serious returns other than have beers and chicks.
However @Lech forget quick returns n focus on building it ur wealth slowly. I cn hypothesize that CMC,Safaricom are good shares bt it is just a hunch from a small analysis i have done and it will take maybe another year before u realize any meaningful return like 30% bt it is a good start.

Lech,I notice this is your first ever contribution and I apologise for the 'baptism of fire' at the hands of my 'esteemed' colleagues.

You're looking for maximum returns. The Risk-Return relationship is such that taking higher risk is rewarded with higher returns. An example is buying a charity sweepstake ticket. If you're the only winner then your returns are quite high as compared to your initial 'investment'. If you don't win (and you likely won't),you lose the entire amount. Few people knowingly beat the odds...will you?

A few months ago this year,JMworia CEO of Centum (NSE:ICDC) was speaking to us at Mind Speak and someone asked a similar question - on investing vis-à-vis capital constraint. He responded by saying that when you have little money to invest,the greatest investment you can make (that will give you relatively higher and perhaps guaranteed returns) is in yourself and gave an anecdote surrounding Penguin Classic novels.

I believe this holds for you too Lech. You mentioned that you had 100K and you are a young graduate. Do you have a job? Consider taking a *rare* but highly sought after professional course in your field of study (that could earn you a promotion,or raise,or get you a better job..or make you retrenchment proof) if you're not doing so already.

Yesterday,arguably the world's fastest man was wearing a shirt with the inscription 'the Long Run'....perhaps that thought should frame your thinking too.

It often happens that a TRADER carries out a deep and complicated calculation,but fails to spot something elementary right at the first move!
