Maskunje..

Spread buy into KCB... as in a standing order..weekly or monthly over next 10 months..
this will even out price volatility plus one counter..less headache watching over investments.. plus you've been on wazua long enough to realize u only invest in what you understand...

The good thing about this... is that when last tranche is finally put in...you may choose to dispose all of them at once...and then start buying again...over a similar period.. :)

in essence..u have a healthy start for an investment fund...your own.

i did so once with equity...while we were still Stocks kenya.. smile

...real estate is "purportedly" good.. but if you know nothing about it.. let it be.
..Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven...Matt5:16

Mixed investment is the best as the risk is much spread out. Invest in each category as per your risk prefrence;
1.Real estate- Land currently prices are down in kajiado as people await elections next year.
2.T bill/bondsthe government has to borrow to meet the deficit they have and this rate is already showing an upword swing.
3.Fixed deposits with a commercial bank running on monthly renewal just to help meet those unforseen immediate expenditures.
4.Stocks-but preferably from december through march when its too slow and target three years then exit when election jitters are past and the country's economic power has shown direction.
5.Help a needy brother nigawie kidogo tu.Drool Drool
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence

Longterm investment (real estate)...4million....Medium term investment (stocks)...2million...Short term investment...(business)...maybe an electronics shop....1 million....you will never regret...HOWEVER,THIS ADVICE IS VERY SHALLOW...YOU NEED TO APPLY DUE DILIGENCE IN ALL AREAS HIGHLIGHTED.
A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Ideal portfolio:

1. Stocks 30%
2. Bonds/t-bills 30%
3. real estate 15%
4. off shore fund 10%
5. foreign currency 10%
6. Fixed deposit account 5%

= 100%.

This is for a conservative investor who wants to diversify and spread/reduce risks and still get moderate returns. while preserving his/her wealth.

you're welcome
The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Last piece of advice...now that you have a tidy sum,you will hear advice from geeks with all kinds of fomulas to increase it tenfold...remember the golden rule...dont put all the money in a single investment...no matter how enticing...3 to 5 would be good.
A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

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!



Are you sure? Double in one year? Why?

BBI will solve it :)
