Hey all, I am interested in buying shares. I am new at this and want some information. I am looking at having at least 2-3 portfolios. Questions:
1. How many shares can one buy in a company?
2.What is the best company to invest at the moment?
Thank you all, and wishing you a great morning.

It depends on the following two factors:
1. The amount you intend to commit
2. Whether you are a long-term investor or a speculator.

Thank you all, and wishing you a great morning. 1. How many shares can one buy in a company?At the NSE, the minimum you can buy is 100 shares in any company of your choice, the maximum depends as follows; - If a Local, you can buy 100% of the listed shares, i.e. ALL SHARES ON OFFER (AVAILABLE), - if a foreigner (Non-East African), you can buy upto 75% of the company's shares, but exceptions are allowed on application e.g. Essar and Airtel. Rumour has it that this rule will be phased out soon. 2.What is the best company to invest at the moment?The best company to invest in at the moment is the one that will give you maximum returns on your investment according to your PLAN! It would help if you could give us your budget, timelines and risk appetite! Hope that helped. Happy Investing! Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi

Thank you all so much for the information. Firstly, I want to invest about 100,000 Kshs. I am a local but reside abroad. I intend to invest for a year, maybe longer. I am not looking into making any big money, but rather have it on shares than laying in the bank.
Thank you again

HFCK is definitely the one for you... You are given more than 5% as dividends with more or less 10% + capital gains... Total shareholder return per year = 15% + Mark 12:29

@Mclesie welcome. There is no reason why you shouldn't make big money. Thats the essence of investing right? Wazuans are bold and post their portfolios, sales and purchases. You will see that people have made good money on some counters, up to 200% in some cases. You will get advice, very good advice, good advice and not so good advice. It will take some time to sieve out the advice. Time you could spend practically investing and watching your money grow. Why don't you get in touch and we will shorten your learning curve?
