The market is not exactly cheap. Most blue chips are trading at high PE.

Pay off the loan to avoid interest payments. Begin saving for the next round of discounts.

If you must buy stocks, the Agha Khan firms and the financial institutions never disappoint.

What interest rate do you pay? If 15% or more, then pay off the loan.

Well said besides there are no certificates for early loan repayments. At 6% I'd rather invest.

This is one of the reasons why I will never pay HELB lump sum. 2k a month imewatosha. Hiyo 2k hutoka from a 100k investment. 4% who can pay lump sum?
