A twist in the tale, maybe Euros are what one should be buying. And while we are it, I hope 'hold cash' refers to a short-term FDR

The discovery of oil in kenya changes alot of theseassumptions.This is because US cannot afford not to benefit from the party.They were late for the party and wont try any stupid move else China wil have a laugh all the way.Sanctions wont work as China wil happily ignore them.As such Zim way is a far dream whichever team wins.However the perception created wil definately offer investors yet another buying opportunity.Am waiting for the dip before elections and plunge into stocks.My only prayer is whoever loses accepts our verdict and we will have peace!!!!!

Oil: Will not have major effect on USD/ KES exchange rates before production starts in 2017 or thereabout..
US Fiscal Cliff: I doubt that it will make the USD mimick the Zim one!
A mix of all these things will help reduce the risk, USD, EUR, Stocks, Real Estate but you cannot keep lots of KSHS in the period before and immediately after elections regardless who wins.

@stocksmaster is slipping (sic) on the job. my guy, you have failed to consider expected strong posting of full year PBT results by some companies read financial sector and resultant good dividend announcements such as the assured ones from KCB and HFCK that will ring fence even the fearful foreigners.

great analysis @stocksmaster.

however I believe the elections will be peaceful and if uhuru wins I expect him to be exonerated as long as he sings to Obama's tunes....si hata kagame is free.

anybody remembers how the market rallied from 4500- 5800 in 2008 after the pact?

yep...some blind optimism may return.

but who knows what the foreigners will do? what if the US markets sell off?
will there be an excuse to dump their stake coz of political instability.
remember how in 2009 our market continued to tank as the US markets were having a rally of a lifetime ...I picked the cue and plunged and reaped handsomely.

the correlation between world markets is astonishing...albeit with some lag...the divergence trades are great ...this are my ramblings...but I'm not sober at the moment.

@Ali Baba lets me take you through economics 101..

Fiscal cliff = higher taxes & lower spending = austerity = lower deficit = stronger USD!

So if the fiscal cliff does materialize i laugh all the way to my $ account! smile

Me, i will keep on investing in stocks. I am optimistic that whichever way the country takes in march 2013 i have no control. Democracy=power of many and i do not subscribe to that notion. When i have a choice to make i do not choose people because they are popular but because they can perform.

I will focus on blue chips (as investors) exit and on non-listed companies. You never know, the market may hold and accelerate after march.

Lower GDP,investments,higher unemployment,entitlements-It could spark a recession which would still further raise the value of dollar.
Uncertainty is certain.Let go
