@kularaha i find ur confidence quite fascinating....deluded really....many people here also said something similar about equity a few years back!



They also raised a red flag about Imperial Bank right here!



Dont remember seeing a redflag on imperial until after



As a rule of thumb, monthly payments raise a red flag if the fundamentals are not clear;

plus that interest rate is too high not to raise questions from curious investors ...

Usually T-bills, considered the "gold standard" for safety, usually pay less my friend

@tmakto,i dont have any news yet but what happened at chase bank was an eye opener.Its better to put ur money where u feel safe.Cbk is 100% safe unless something tragic happens like civil war.

There are three levels of rates being offered in the market:

One group pays t bill rates or lower, mostly banks in tier 1 & 2

Another group pays way above t bill, near 12 to 13%, mostly banks in tier 3 & 4

Last group pays "crazy" rates like 18%, mostly "investment companies" like Cytonn, my neighbourhood shylock, my uncle who wants to borrow to start some hair-brained business etc

@Ebenyo Thanks, makes sense. I think Faulu owners (OldMutual etc) are a better lot overall, so should be ok mid-term
