3.best for medium term
5.highest in returns to inv.
6. security of inv.
7.and any other questions i will ask later.

big up pple.

@E2D. Well it could be all relative, u can make income and capital gains from stocks, property and bonds; maybe it boils down to market liquidity and how much money you bring to the table. I can give u an example of bonds.

You could have bought the KenGen PIBO in late November 2009 and made as much money as putting it in some blue chips like KPLC, BAT, KCB and Total. You could have bought KenGen PIBO at 99 in late November and sold it today at 107 (clean) adding the dividend of 6k and you have a return of like 14% in six months (phenomenal for a corporate bond).

You could have bought a govt bond of the same maturity on the same date such as FXD1/2009/10Yr you could have bought it at 94 and sold at 113 today and if u include the coupon interest payment then ur looking at a better return of 25%; higher than EABL, Safaricom and Bamburi, over the last six months with zero risk. But u need to invest big to get anyone's attention and prices seldom move this fast.

so maybe 8. on ur list shud be, best for 100k and over?
