Can you guys advice me on what to do to get the best or highest ROI on this capital....

If someone gave this to you today and asked that you invest it and he will pay you a commission in say a year or 2 or longterm, where would you put the money today?

Thanks fellow wazuans....

@Simplicity,

I would take 1.5m and buy land in Lamu. Possibly get an acre a little further from the port area. I am told an acre in the port environs an acre is going for 4-5m.

1m each I would buy HF, Coop and ICDC. I will then keep 1m for opportunistic investing should the market drop significantly.

Thanks PKoli...greatly appreciated!!

I was on the CBK website playing with their T-Bill calculator and unless I was doing my math wrong, 91 and 182 day T-Bills on a 5M investment look a little better than shares. Any of you guys have money in T-Bills and if so...what do you think the ROI after taxes will be on say 5M going with the current rates?

You do realize that the rates are annual right?

If you invested this 5.5M last week into carbacid you would have raked in +40% gains by today... last week the share was going for 39 bob just after the split.

I would buy a Tata - Tipper. If you were to pay me a commission for that after a year or those two (I'd actually insist on a year because two would be a high risk), you'd feel like am robbing you, but you'll have made your many anyway.

get 2m and buy an acre on second row of beach front in south coast, diani. Use the 3.5m to construct hotel and 10 rooms using local material eg thatch roof, coral stone walls etc.

This will bring you 10 roomx x kes 4k per might=40k per day =14.6m per year. Assume 50% occupancy, say 7m per year.
Yoour return on investment is 6 months with a guaranteed 7m per year.

I was there last week and checked out a few hotels . Most wer 100% fully booked and charged over 4k per night .

These Tata tippers are everywhere these days. Whoever is selling them must be laughing all the way to the bank. How much do the trucks cost and how much do they make per day (hiring out)?
