Just thinking wildly, will we ever see a day where commodities will be traded on the exchange in Kenya? Silver, Gold etc? How does it happen elsewhere?

there was this story sometimes last year
then this other one though it sounds more of the mining companies listing than futures being brought on board.

Yes! Quite disappointing that the promise hasn't materialized.
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.

Sometimes the future is the present.

The real petrodollar fight started here - http://www.businessweek....et-and-financial-advice

Since the Libya was taken down, Iran still hanging on sanctions after sanctions, now its russia's turn with sanctions.

The BRICs bank is making things very unstable for the petrodollar hegemony now that it has launched earlier than expected.

What gives for the petrodollar? Use of military might has not been working for a while and finances are too stretched. Next move, hike the USD Fed rate to 'return' value to this paper. USD gains value and oil/commodities/equities take a nosedive.

The reserve currency survival fight is about to get ugly...

**A debasement event looms**

The number of surreal IPOs globally is still on the rise. But something happened recently 6 days after a surreal IPO floated and was pulled off... The biotech sector was hot last year, but this party is about to get done with a strong hangover soon.

Absa ditches African Bank investments

Quote:
Absa Bank has removed all African Bank Investments Limited investments (Abil) from its Absa Money Market Fund, it said on Friday.

The Times reported on Friday that investments in the bank's money market fund were reduced by 0.3 percent following the massive losses in African Bank, which saw its share price plummet to a low of 28 cents on Friday from a high of R30 a share in March 2012.

On Monday, the statements of Absa money market account-holders had a line that reportedly read “adjustement (sic) debit” and a rand figure with a negative symbol in front of it.

Several account-holders reported noticing less money in their accounts.

The SA Reserve Bank (SARB) announced on Sunday that it had placed African Bank under curatorship.


And that's how the shareholder value for ABIL investors has been destroyed. ABIL finally goes belly up.

Flashback... This JSE market???

Hedge Funds Boost Bad-Loan Prices as U.S. Sales Increase

Quote:
Sales of U.S. delinquent mortgages are accelerating as lenders rush to meet demand from hedge funds and private-equity firms that has sent prices surging.


And we back to the days when PMI (private mortgage insurance) was full steam frontloading risky mortgages. As usual when the train derails the regulators will claim nobody could have seen it coming...Liar Shame on you

"The breakout of the U.S. Dollar/Shilling over the 88 level was right on time. We'll need to watch the week of 20th November, 2014 for a turning point. It seems volatility will rise as we head to November...."

The likelihood of testing 120 as per the longterm channel gives me the chills Sad That move will throw a nasty curve ball at KE equities.

An expensive USD period is coming due to a likely rate hike by the fed, which will catch many offguard!
