If the trend continues, it will go below 10% in next week's auction.

Time to move money out?

And it came to pass that 91-day T bill dropped to 8.583%

Applause

Now we wait for 5th September!

And the Two year bond @ 11.5% Laughing out loudly

With companies like KCB, BAT, HFCK, offering forward dividend yields of 10%+ for 2012 it looks like we may have a serious rally upon us pretty soon..

We told you guys, Tbills are a sham!! Well not really a sham, but you have to factor in time value of money and downward rate adjustments. Equities always perform better.

Tbills hapana sham, but just a short term (12mths max) defensive tool for investors when the central planning team screws up the macroeconomics. Equities will always out perform money markets except during econ meltdown periods.

The time for Tbills was Q4 2011 and even then Equities were hot buys,what with simba at 14.8 in Oct(i bought at that price) & mpesa at 3bob.
For a trader,and even an investor,Equity returns on growth stocks will far outway money mkt returns in the long run!
I like to think of Tbills as a necessary evil in our portfolios,for those rainy days!!

Hisah so you still have money in Tbills? By the way for those who bought at 18% did they lock in that rate for 12 months, or now that its at 10%, they get the aggregate? I dont understand how you could put money in Tbills yet you knew about Africa oil!!!!
