Geitner, Paulson said it, imf said it, WB said it, Obama said it, and now the usd is saying it. Why wait? you have very little time to decide. When will the mad rally commence? Where will you be seated? In the field or on the sidelines or a late entry casualty? Am not selling anything, am just at the boarding gate with my ticket waiting for take-off, i will sell later when all and sundry rush in, i have paid the price.

@sparkly, sorry am browsing on a phone and cant give a comprehensive report now, however before that go to www.exchange-rates.org and do a graph on any currency vs usd from september (9 months) and you will see. There are no spurts and bursts, the momentum is now 'raging'. An American now finds anything upto 20% cheaper in fairly stable markets abroad. Picture an american at F2, and the beer is cheaper, the hotel room is cheaper, the 'langa' is cheaper, and the stocks are cheaper, the chips is chipa, and kuku funga is cheaper what will happen?

@Much Know:Am afraid i dont agree with you;the signs are on the wall,prepare for a double deep recession.The europe austerity measures and the weakening consumer demand in the US are just but a few signs.

@much know - All this can disappear in 3 months with the idiots Kenyans are... PEV 2008, anyone?

I think Biden came to warn Kenya... YES or NO... say NO to violence... lakini Kenyans are idiots...

muchknow, i'd say NSE works like this
60% impact internally from PEV; our primitive politics; drought; rains et al
40% impact from external factors i.e. global economy; global markets;global events. As a general rule, if the dollar is strenngthening, this means there is flight to quality i.e. risk aversion. in that situation, investors will be selling and moving into dollars. Not good for NSE

EABL is in a mess with that tax increase...Motoring stocks like CMC how do they benefit???...the winners are ARM and Bamburi..VAT is now @ 18%...
