The best advice you can get is to get out of financial assets altogether. In fact, I'll not be surprised if some Kenyan banks fail along with the global ones.  Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

The NASI receded 6.85% to close the week at 134.66 points down from 144.57 points. Equity turnover was up 42.97% to Kes.5,696.61Bn from Kes.3,984Bn as a combined result of accelerated end- month profit taking and panic distribution. This week, the bourse was bogged down by confirmation of tapering fears following the U.S Federal Reserve’s decision to cut back its monthly bond purchases by another $10Bn stimulating massive foreign outflows at the NSE. We view this as a temporary correction maintaining a positive outlook for the bourse. We expect the attractiveness of the Kenyan equity segment and sound fundamentals to cushion the market against this external shock and expect investors to maintain their long term positions as they reassess their frontier market risk. We are also banking on stellar full year financials for the Insurance & financial stocks set for release in the coming weeks to prove strong fundamentals remain intact. Kenya’s financial sector is the third largest in terms of assets in Sub-Saharan Africa; a strong impetus that the markets have historically hinged on. @mnandii, note the highlighted

Truth be told your $100 is bound to double faster anywhere rather than the US 1. The S&P 500 was up 30% in 2013 vs the NSE20 Share Index's return of 19%. So if an investor did put his money in a fund which tracks the S&P 500 would have outperfomed a guy in a fund which tracks the NSE20 share Index...so tell me how did this guy lose money by investing in the US? 2. Investors have been selling bonds and EM & frontiers as the US economy gains traction...where will the money go? US Stocks...I would not be suprised if the S&P 500 outperforms the NSE20 Share Index again in 2014. Link http://online.wsj.com/ne...54404579311012920076346
3. The US economy is still firing on despite the taper....consumer spending is increasing at its fastest pace in 3 years Link http://mobile.bloomberg....spending-picked-up.html
4. Hehe you complaining of an unemployment rate of 15%...I would take that any day...and where is your source for the figure? Link please?..when the last time did Kenya do a labour census or survey? Theyre even scared to do that...it would be an embarassiment. NB: Always share a link or referance to support your arguments.

The MSCI Indices 2013 Performance Results ranked the NSE as the fourth best performing stock market in the world, with a 43.58 per cent return.
U.S. equity gauges rose to records, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index posting its biggest annual advance since 1997, 31%.
Apart from that all counters that foreigners hve participated in have more than doubled * 100%
Now lets talk of 2014
Stocks finished the day and the week with losses Friday as Wall Street posted the first negative January for the Standard & Poor's 500 since 2010 -- a poor start that history says could bode ill for the remainder of the year. Money is piling into long-term U.S. Treasury bonds: Prices on the 10-year Treasury are rising, and yields, which move in the opposite direction, declined to 2.65% Friday.
If we talk of local economies...97 metro economies in the US declined others to a 5% decline as was the case in the Shreveport metro city of LA, the best performing metro economies are powered by hydrocarbons Midland and Odessa in Tx, grew 7.5% in 2013. Universities and manufacturing metros exhibited the decline trends.
I dont think Kenya evaluates its economy on a town to town basis, that would be interesting"There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

I stumbled at wazua accidentally and its then that I learnt that the bear is my friend. I learnt to be fearful when others are greedy and vice versa. Bears are always followed by bulls, its a matter of timing. Stay around, you will learn amidst the smack remarks. 😉

And by the way, how comes everybody knows it time to buy? the most important is first knowing the company you are buying into. Then know it's value. Can you hold it for ever. Lastly never put your kitchen budget in stock, put only what you can afford to lose.
