What if I give them Sh89,285.71 today; they'll give me 100k after one year [mathematicians invited to confirm the figures]. Now can you argue that I got the interest [Sh10,714.29] upfront?
Same bank, same account; only the amount deposited is changing. @All. When I was a teacher I could at times move with a few students when I thought the rest would take a centum! to understand concepts that I thought were easy. The point is we must "move on" and ask ourselves; what is it that is really paid upfront? Below is a quote from post #70; ......then 15% withholding tax on the discount is paid upfront? 11,087 x 15/100 = 1,663.05 Meaning s/he writes a cheque to CBK of 88,913 + 1,663.05 = 90,576.05 It is the Treasury that gets 15% tax upfront!!!! Hapana! wewe unalipa tax upfront na mara hiyo hiyo CBK wanakuandikia cheque ya interest/discount pap! kwa sababu hio ni bill yani discounted na wewe sio stupid!   anyone remembers the story about a cow (or donkey for Gachie / Naivasha pple), a river and drinking??

Ladies and gentlemen, I beg to be allowed to put this matter to rest. I had thought the problem was one of semantics but i have since realized its not. My earlier post would appear to support the theory that T-bill holders earn their discount upfront. That was INCORRECT and indeed very embarrassing.
The principal amount on which CBK pays the interest, or discount if you may, is the net figure that the investor gives to CBK and not the full amount payable on maturity. E.g. for 100K, the amount being invested is the 90K, and CBK will calculate the interest on the 90K not 100K.
ION : I am supposed to log in to Wazua through g-mail but i have realized that option is not available on the log-in screen on my I-pad. Is there something am not doing right ? I can only log-in to wazua on the laptop. Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

@Pesa Nane, come out clearly on punda na faras! ati CBK writes you a cheque. How can a borrower write you a cheque at the time of borrowing? @Banker, Can't agree with you more. Welcome! The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

@Banker, Can't agree with you more. Welcome! @jerry that is misrepresentation. Nowhere I have mentioned any cheques (more so from CBK!) LINK? Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.

Never does the CBK do any calculation (Discount, Interest, or otherwise) on the 90K. THE DISCOUNT RATE IS CALCULATED ON THE 100K as seen below.  Where, P = Price per Ksh 100 which investor will pay r = interest rate or yield per annum quoted by the investor d = days to maturity or tenor (91, 182 and later 364 days) Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.

After going through the posts above,I've noted that a lot of people want to comment on T-Bills,but they don't invest in them.They don't seem to know exactly what goes on.Guys,buy Tbills first,then come to Wazua and argue your case with authority....instead of embarassing yourselves to the actual TBill investors.....

Not exactly. Sometimes you can make the wrong assumptions for over 20 years. Even when reality is pointed out, some people still insist they are right. Take time and read the thread below where two Wazuans were arguing with the entire Wazua(Stockskenya) community about an issue which was so obvious to the two yet rocket science to the rest of the community, INCLUDING AN OLD MAN! http://wazua.co.ke/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=1109IF YOU EXPECT ME TO POST ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT ASENO, YOU MAY AS WELL SIT ON A PIN

Formulae or no formulae we've to see the reality that interest is earned on what you give not what you receive at end of term. The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

Jamaneni, Suppose Faulu gives 12% pa and CBK has 364 bill also pegged at 12%. Now suppose you have Zim$ 500,000 to invest for a period of 1 year (364 days). Faulu: 12% x 500,000 = 60,000 (Gross interest) Give Faulu 500,000 today and get 560,000 in a year’s time. CBK: 12% x 500,000 = 53,400 (Gross discount) Give 446,560 today to the fat lady seating at the far RH corner at CBK banking hall and get 500,000 in a year’s time. Therefore Invest 500,000 at 12% in Faulu and get an interest of 60,000 after 12 months. Invest 446,560 at 12% in CBK and get an interest of 53,440 after 12 months. Now the catch: Now if you invest 446,560 in Faulu today at 12% you will get an interest of 53,500. If you invest this CBK discount in Faulu fixed at 12%pa for a year you ger 12% x 53,440 = 6,400If you add 6,400+53,440 you get Approx 60,000 which is the same amount you get if you had invested upfront to Faulu. Jamaneni where is the interest paid upfront/kimbelele? Interest paid upfront is a fallacy!!!!!!! Case dismissed, petitioners and respondents to meet their own costs. Portfolio: Sold
You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.
