Hie Wazurians. Is it just me or is there likely to be some slowdown in the market come the Referendum

It will depend on whether you will accept my advise......Vote for your investment .....Vote for your children's future...Vote for the political and economic stability of the country ....vote for the NSE upsurge ...Vote YES ....if you care for your country.... money and children...Otherwise you will see 'RED' in your investments.....At no other time in the Country's future will you ever see the political will for a new constition as we have now.....lets embrace it ....otherwise dont ever expect a new constitution in your remaining lifetime if this one fails....persuasively tell this to your neighbour.....>>>>>>>>>>

I believe as Kenyans we would'nt want to go that way having seen what it did to us. As Fundaah puts it we will vote for our money and Children.
What I wonder is how many of us will be ready to take advantage of the buying opportunities that will present themselves.
Put differently would you invest in the market now or would you wait till after referendum - if you had a tiddy sum.

Well....I dont see no problem, at least not one that can affect the market significantly.I do think Kenya is past that, people know better now.

the market is pricing in a "YES" vote so if the "NO" camp wins then we will have to expect the market to sell off

YES or NO... violence will negate it all... If the referendum (whatever the result) goes 'smoothly' then investors will return...

I am not sure the yes victory has been properly priced into the market price. Personally I expect a yes win to spike the price up by atleast 40% in the short run mostly as a result of euphoria and the hope of making a quick buck. Then people will realise that you still need to work even with the new constitution to earn some bread.

On the foreign front, I expect Obama will be yelling from the roof tops and pointing out at how Kenya is a beacon of hope, return from the brink and gateway to east and central africa, should also excite some foreign investors into buying.

In the long run, the fundamentals will return to dictate the market direction.

A no victory spells doom for the country and the market direction will be the least of my worries.
