Guys, if you were given a million Kenya shillings (that is USD 9,790 as of 5th of Nov 2015 at 4:15pm) and 10 years to invest.

Where would you park (invest) the cash and why?

NB: Capital erosion should be kept at minimum


Thanks

Sewe

Meaning in a 10 year horizon, you should make a decent return in land, stocks, bonds, business, almost any investment venture really - as long as you know it ...and have paid losses, earlier, to master it.

10yr ago if someone had used 1m to buy 20acres huko kitengela (at 50k per acre), today he'd have 320m at the current price of 2m per 1/8 th. Land is king.

Imagine if the guy with 20 acres had planted some trees as well

I just dislike this 'sit back' speculation on land
