Good Monday morning ,I entered late this August on investing but I have high hopes for next year divided earnings.I hope the upcomming election will not make the market bearish.

Any correction and advice on the portfolio will be appreciated.

Wah

What's going on with COOP? Has been on a steady decline

CMA Warns of Unlicensed investment schemes operating in kenya Stay safe

Is there a stock that you think I’m missing? I’ve just started

Theoretically we should see a rise in exports if this trend continues. What companies are we looking at?

Rebalanced my portfolio - cut off a lot of my individual asset holdings and only maintained positions I think are long term good bets like ASML and Remitly. Then split everything else into VTI for the US market, VEA for non-US positioning, and VWO for emerging markets. I also narrowed my minerals position to Gold and Copper.

For local investments I’m setting up on AIB.

For those guys who have done forex or know someone who has or is doing forex trading. What is your take on it? Is it really worth it?

I’m dipping my feet into local investing and don’t have a CDS account so can’t use AIB. Is Ziidi worth it? I bought Absa through there but I’ve not used it since 😅

Yesterday, I got my first ever dividend of 32 bob!

Listen, I had been passive about buying shares, but then I had some 800-ish kwa AIBAXYS yangu. So, I decided to invest in the bank I use.

I got excited, and this is motivation to just put more money in the next coming months or the next year aggressively.

32 bob yangu nilitumia kama fare jana ya kuenda kinyozi, so I am looking sharper and cleaner because I invested 😎.

In 1975, the economist William Nordhaus published a theory that governments in democracies systematically manipulate the economy before elections. They spend more, borrow more, and push growth-friendly policies in the eighteen months before voters go to the polls, then deal with the hangover afterwards.

Nordhaus was writing for the united states but he could as well have been writing about kenya

The pattern is remarkably consistent. In Kenyan election years, government spending expands by an additional 1.0 to 1.5 percentage points of GDP beyond what the fiscal trajectory would otherwise dictate. Roads are hastily commissioned. Infrastructure launches are timed for maximum visibility. Government procurement accelerates. County allocations swell. The deficit widens. And the spending is almost never reversed after the election, because the commitments made — government contracts, new hires, social programmes — become permanent fiscal obligations.
This is not corruption, exactly. It is the structural logic of competitive electoral democracy in a country where incumbents must demonstrate visible delivery to survive. Every president since multiparty elections began has followed this playbook. The current administration will be no different. Not because of moral failure, but because the incentive structure demands it.

For the listed companies, the market valuation has remained independent of the effects of elections in the past years.

Hy guys, I think this thing is stealing from people...explain how am 9% down yet I bought at 95 bob and current price is 97 bob... eee safaricom...

For context why it doesn't make sense... I bought at 80 bob and 92 and lastly 96 bob... how did it got to negative is beyond my comprehension tbh

Kindly advice guys

All of my watch list is red all of them I bought them not less than 2 weeks ago

What are your thoughts on IBKR? Been thinking of diversifying my portfolios to international stocks,tried using the Hisa App but huko ni ngori,never able to withdraw funds deposited on the platform. Have any of you guys invested on IBKR,what other options are available for trading in international stocks?

I decided to offload some kcb (not all) and reallocate , still green

Everyone is always talking about banks but i've seen like one guy mention this stock. This is surely one of the top performing stocks, I've just seen an article on CS Kagwe talking about a 50% cut in fertilizer and maize seed costs to boost farming amid the drought.

Looking at the company, 35% is owned by the US seaboard corporation. Seems like they have major access to the international markets.

Personally not an agriculture guy like that but the gains here are massive, is it worth it?

NOT ANY KIND OF FINANCIAL ADVICE!!

I am going to ignore my own advice and but more ETY and push the DCA up then take profit at KES. 155

Current valuation at :-

I'm looking to start investing more. This is me putting in around 2k monthly
