Oh, btw... the great savior mugabe runs a torture camp where prisoners are forced to mine diamonds! Please...the mines are now KP Certified and they rake in $$ to increase civil service salos. Hahahaha. Pity, its the army & cronies not ordinary citizens that benefit... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Hahahaha. Pity, its the army & cronies not ordinary citizens that benefit... The least paid civil servant undr the new economy (post-09) is paid $350 up from $150. That simply means more money running in the economy spurring demand and business/employment oppurtunities for more, cronies inclusive.

@Vitumingi.i lyk ur name.Yeah a political crisis is looming and i think we may see another revolution like the arabian one in China.That could be their down fall as a country.But as for now,they are riding high.My friend went today to America to present a paper and we realized we couldnt ask him to bring anything back coz it wld most likely be from China except maybe folk tales (red indian and cowboys tales maybe) and textbook which btw we normally buy subsidized low quality txtbooks with no hardcover from India.

This is what Obeezy (Obama) had to say: "Markets will rise and fall. But this is the United States of America. "No matter what some agency may say, we've always been and always will be a triple-A country." Talk about denial

Confident response from obeezy. Exactly what is needed at a time like this. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

FTSE down 4.4% to 4800s. Now in bear territory. Wish I had shorted the index, but I must admit holding cash is now a premium move Sehemu ndio nyumba

Pity the KES is falling faster than the US$. All my gains are coz of my US$ hedged position rather than the KES gains! So much for emerging markets who use local toilet paper currencies! Long live the White & Yellow Man's currencies! Swiss Franc, China Yuan, Indian Rupee, Aus $, etc all showing resilience. Even the $, € & GBP have remained strong vs most African currencies! My Uganda TP is at 2,715, My KES TP is 94.25 & these are against the 'weak' US$...! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

@vituvingisana,u even wonder why the Kenyan shilling is loosing against most european countries yet all these countries are stuck and not growing.In Britain for example,Tottenham city is expiriencing riots for some days now because of a suspect killing by police and austerity measures that have led to reduced jobs.Everyway u look at it,all european states are in trouble except Germany.If only the market would correct the exchange rates,or we are importing more thn what we are exporting.Maybe thats the problem

The US banks are deciding not to pay any interest rates on deposits. Instead, they will charge you for them! In effect, they are making holding cash to be a losing position. You are better invested elsewhere. I think this is all because the big companies huko have decided not to lend the govt a dime and the governemnt is using banks to force a lending. However, I think not many will lend to a defaulting govt they better invest elsewhere and this is how emerging markets are coming in. Now, IF Kenya gets favourable ratings, woe unto you if the bus leaves you! I Think Therefore I Am
