Put in KCB or HFCK..

It will be worth 14million in a years time while you earn a cool 60k per month just in dividends!

Nothing can beat that!

In China,if you lose 7 million,they kill you.Whatever you do,dont lose the money.An investment that has passed the test of time as safe and consistent is real estate.Sadly,not many have the cash to venture...but you do...do the necessary.

Kenyan bluechips are older than any real estate development anywhere in the country.. Plus the return from these bluechips is UNMATCHED!!

Imagine investing in KCB in 1954 or JHL in 1974 or BBK in 1984...

S.Mutaga III is right...no investment is a safer bet than the real estate...and in this case am referring to land. If you get a clean title in Kajiado Thika or Mavoko you are guaranteed 100% returns in the next year. Am not seeing stocks doing well as from Dec to May (after the elections and the court cases at the hague) However, that will be the perfect time to buy fear.

Say that to US, Dubai, Syokimau, Mau or the IDP people............ All investments have risks, it all depends with the risk levels you are able to absorb.
Investments are in categories of high, medium and low risks. The higher the risk the higher the returns. If you are told stocks are more risky then the returns are high. You decide based on your "appetite".
Having said that i would personally take advice on post#2

Please do some research...The real estate mkt in the US hasnt improved since 08 after the bubble burst, Real estate in Africa is the real bet, thats why the likes of Mukesh Ambani are building and selling sky-scrappers in .ke.

@ Jamani! Ditto. Personally I would divide my risk; go real estate at the same time take Guru's advice and maybe some fixed term deposit as part of the funds that I can easily access in case there is need

Ask Mukesh Ambani about the NSSF plot... risk and costs.
