I would go for a few properties in the counties say 5 million. 1.5 Million in stocks and bonds. Unless its windfall income, you may also need to treat yourself that is invest some of it in happiness but make sure you don't visit dubai otherwise your milli would be up in smoke.

Boss a P/E of 10 & a dividend of 5% is considered very fair in many markets..

What politics?? We will have a peaceful elections and all the prophets of doom will all be tripping over themselves to buy stocks after its over...

The repetitiveness of the suggestions betrays how narrow Kenyans' thinking is when it comes to investing. No wonder random Wahindis, Wazungus and Wachina come to our country and swiftly become mega-rich in a matter of 5 years or less.

While we are busy doing traditional stocks+bonds+realestate investments, the foreigners come in, spot virgin niches and attack them with no mercy, making out like bandits in the end. Take for example that oil in Turkana. The Mkenya saw that the best investment he could make would be the usual buy a plot -> sell it later formula. The Mzungu saw oil below that plot and is now mining. Fine, the Mkenya has some change in pocket, but the Mzungu now has money beyond his wildest dreams.

Bwana masukuma, I urge you to expand your mind and find the many poorly served niches we have in Africa. The greatest financial rewards lie there.

@Kenyanlyrics....even if i have Iron ore in my backyard, the barrier that will hinder me into extracting it is the cost and knowledge of the how to go about it. We are just being real...

KYL = Know Your Level

Akina wachina have billions of dollars while our friend has a meagre 7million Kshs ($80,000)...

Even Wazungu cannot do much with ($80,000)!

you seem to be the one with a shallow mind as you do not seem to know the level of experience, passion, CAPITAL, time & sweat that is needed to make any venture successful!

can someone advice me on how to invest this tidy sum.



All these people are excited and unrealistics, it is only one guy here who talked about risk profile and that I think is the only person who you should pay a little more attention to because he probably understand something about investment.

Mine is to tell you what not to do.

1)First if you're not yet marry, do not get married, thats the worst thing you can do at the moment.
2)If you've never had a hooker, do not get one and this is very important, if you've never been to a strip club do not go there. But if you really want to go to strip club start with training yourself by watching porn movies, if you watch porn movies 2 weeks straight you'll be so used to naked women that when you go to strip club you'll not be excited about nudity so you won't drop cash easly. Infact you'll be able to make great investment research at a strip club, I alway read WSJ at tit bars.
3)I know you're Masukuma you probably think kshs 7million is alot of money but it is not so do not let it get in your mind.
4)Do not give 10% to your church it is a reap off.
5)Don't come here expecting any advices!

Market cap of NSE is 12.5 Billion USD,
Market cap of Tullow Oil a small player in oil
business is 28 Billion USD.
Big players like Eni Italy where I work in their local subsidiary in Nigeria have a market cap of 83.5 Billion USD. Eni has won prospecting licence in Kenya but refused in Uganda due to alledged bribe (not proven) Uganda
energy minister of 300,000 USD ie 240 Million Kenyan shillings and a ship load of Uganda shillings if you multiply 320 Million Ksh by 29 Ugandan shillings???

How much then is 7 million Ksh ????

There is nothing to compare my friend.
