This "conversation" ends here. Why? I have learnt a number of things and here is one of them!!! Link.Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Agreed Wazuans are intelligent enough to tell who the pig is here. From assuring us that uhuru won't sign the bill to BMW, bitching whining and moaning after the bill was signed to belittling and insulting those who feel they benefited from the bill. Good to see you are now accepting and moving on. Good riddance, we won't miss your insults and looking down upon others. Mr know it all punda amecheka

“I know (what) you are but what am I?”"I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."
George Bernard Shaw
Like many insightful quotes, this one nails an important idea, but really just one side of it.
If you step back, you will recognize the other side and then you will have cornered yourself with a fundamental tough judgment call, a tension that needs to be balanced and rebalanced in changing situations.
First, let us set aside one simple problem with the quote. Not all pigs can be escaped.
Sometimes we are forced to wrestle with pigs because they have power over us.
The problem I want to focus on here is the complexity of deciding who is a pig.
If there were an objective test to determine who is a pig and who is not, we would know whom to avoid.
However, there isn't one.
There are many ways to be a pig, including refusing to engage in debate.
For example the dictator who oppresses his citizens, is completely inaccessible to dialogue, and accuses anyone who disagrees with him of being a pig.
He is a pig, right?"

If banks continue denying Wanjiku big loans, I think the stock market will take a hit because Wanjiku will be forced to liquidate her holdings to finance business ventures,

And Wanjiku doesn't have enough skin in the Stock market to make it take a hit. Most of what she had she already panic sold in 2016. And most small business owners invest all they have in their businesses and the occasional kaplot. Very few of them have significant holdings in the NSE. And it is for a good reason. They believe being in business, they can multiply their money faster than the NSE. And given the nature of their businesses, they have no surplus left after re-investing in the business. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Wanjiku does not live in utopia. Price movements many a times are determined by movement of a thin fraction of the entire available stocks/ shares of a firm. Value investors, rarely sellout and at worst, at a discount unless for loss stop moves. Otherwise stock market is free so long as u have cdsc and can afford 100 pieces. Firmly noted. Further applies across the board too. Suppose further ur harvest time (that long ka plan of yours) came mature today and you did not have plan B (a bankloan to keep u a float) would you sell? Cash is king, if you weren't set ablaze by this caps thing, but be ready to weather the storm if ready to join the bandwagon. The road ahead is slime slippery. Why lie if you can cheat men.....  ,Behold, a sower went forth to sow;....

Meanwhile, in other news: "Banks defy interest rate caps to grow profits by 6 per cent"Could these be the profits of doom that we have been warned about? "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." (Niels Bohr)

By the time such happens, we shall have bigger things to worry about, like impending economic depression. "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

In the meantime the mido crass have decided to buy mtumba this xmas in anticipation of njaanuary Quote:Lifestyle clothing retailer Deacons yesterday said sales are flat this festive season, attributing minimal business to lower consumer purchasing power.
The firm said delays by the government to settle tens of billions of shillings in arrears to suppliers and interest caps enforced in September have hurt circulation of cash in the economy.
"The company is trading fairly softly. We have not seen the Christmas rush we usually see, but we are hoping it will come towards the end of next week," Deacons Kenya chief executive Wahome Muchiri said in an interview in Nairobi. "I think it's got to do with the interest rate change, the government budget deficit, and the government's inability to meet its obligations to suppliers which has affected the cycle of cash. Cash is not circulating and that directly affects our customers."

So banks are not lending and now we hear the government is not buying. What are they going to do with the loot? As my Pastor is fond of saying: give thou unto me a f*&@ing break.
