Potentially longer than that but I suspect the NSE20 will breach sub 2000 at the very least next year even if temporarily. If you can buy and forget, good for you...the ones who watch the market constantly will be a tortured lot. Other than domestic fundamentals, KE's fate is hugely dependent on happenings in the international markets mainly interest rate and USD trends.

Then I was being told how Kenyan banks have strong capital ratios, ati sijui we have a smart CBK governor? Now I hear there is a bank and an insurance company that are facing difficult times  ? I doubt you were told all banks were the same. Even back then, NBK had poor fundamentals. Overall the KE banking sector looks OK. There will always be a few stragglers. Spire, NBK, etc were weak back in 2016 and remain so today. Even among insurance firms, you have the likes of Jubilee, which may face challenges in some years, and some shady/weak ones that remain on the edge forever. As long as the banks practice their well established business model i.e fractional reserve banking, they are vulnerable. When a bank run happens then it will not matter the fundamentals of any bank, they all go down. That would be a sight to behold. That's one of the strongest no confidence vote in the system.

The rate cap was reversed by the courts? No? But it will take about 10 months to be fully implemented. Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

NSE sheds Sh210bn in two weeks of bank stock selloffQuote:Stock market investors have lost Sh210 billion paper wealth in the past two weeks as the falling share prices of telecommunications company Safaricom and most bank counters pulled the NSE 20-Share Index to a 10-year low.
The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) 20-Share Index, which captures movement of select blue chip stocks, has fallen to 2,682 points, a level last seen in March 2009.
Investor wealth as measured by market capitalisation has shrunk to Sh2.199 trillion from Sh2.4 trillion at the beginning of this month.
Bank stocks, which account for 28 percent of the NSE’s total market valuation and a fifth of the market’s 96.2 billion total issued shares issued shares, have been on a decline partly attributed to the end of the dividend announcements season. BD LinkConventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

Venezuela might be too much of a stretch. I don't see any serious natural resource that would make the western world hell bent on controlling us or the resource. Ours is a case (still in its infancy) of deficiency in leadership that is exacerbated with cronyism. We can nip it in the bud with one good election. Do it today! Tomorrow is promise to no-one.

Ours is a case (still in its infancy) of deficiency in leadership that is exacerbated with cronyism. We can nip it in the bud with one good election. Venezuela crisis is not from outside forces. And leadership is a reflection of society. Mood, as reflected in the stock market, determines the kind of leaders we choose. Please realize that the crises in Venezuela started after(emphasis) the stock market had tanked. That was a reflection of the direction of mood. In our case as long as the NSE 20 share index continues to fall then you should expect bank crises(serious ones), epidemics, wars (or revolution), alot of witchcraft, more religiousness, unemployment and layoffs, shortages of goods and services etc. Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
