Safaricom hit a new 52-week low of Kshs. 32 today. The previous 52-week low was Kshs. 33.20.

This means all the price gains of the last one year have been wiped out!

KCB hit its current 52-week low of Kshs. 34 today. Again, all price gains for the last one year wiped out.
Equity Group's 52 week low is Kshs. 39.5. The only reason its holding the 47 - 49 level is because it's trading cum dividend.

Why are share prices falling?
1. Inflation

2. Weakening Shilling (Foreign Exchange Fluctuations) due to interest rate hikes in the US and other developed markets which are also dealing with high inflation rates.

The Federal Reserve Bank raised the Fed Funds Rate by 50 basis points yesterday.

As your grow older, your investment objectives change, your time horizon shortens and your tolerance for risk reduces.

In age-based asset allocation, you start with a high allocation to risk assets such as stocks and gradually reduce your allocation to risk assets in favour...
...of safer assets such as bonds as you grow older.

For example, at 30 you would have 70% of your portfolio in stocks & other risk assets and 30% in safer assets such as bonds.
At 40, your exposure to risk assets such as stocks would reduce to 60% while exposure to safer assets such as bonds increases to 40%.

Allocations may vary depending on life expectancy.

Think for a moment, how billion-dollar edtech startup shelled out $300 Mn to acquire a smaller company within 18 months of its launch.(@whitehatjunior)

Urban Ladder, which been since 2012 & built coveted private label, took a 75% cut in paper valuations.

#StockMarket #nifty50
The company (@UrbanLadder) focussed on a private business model, which was not bad idea & it also got them a good brand recall.

When did the rain start beating @KenyaPower?

My take on Kenya Power.

In 2011, The Least Cost Power Development Plan (LCPDP) 2011-2031 was updated, the electricity supply interconnected system in Kenya had a total installed capacity of 1,533 MW made up of 761.0 MW of hydro...
...,525 MW of thermal, 198 MW of geothermal, 5.45 MW of wind, 26MW from cogeneration and
17MW of isolated grid.

The registered national sustained peak demand was 1,178 MW.

In the updated projections, demand was forecast to be between 2,301 MW on the lower side and 2,951...
...on the higher side in 2018. The reference point was set at 2,566 MW.

To cater for the energy requirements of the Vision 2030 flagship projects, amendments were made to the projected demand figures.

Most of us grew up in a 'land is the ultimate investment' culture. In some communities, you're not considered mature if you don't own a place of your own.

This 'reasoning' I believe, partly explains why the real estate market is so inefficient.
In the developed world, specifically in the US, the value of properties and indeed many assets, is often quoted as a multiple of annual earnings, rental yields or capitalisation rate (cap rate) if you like...5X, 10X etc.

Here in Kenya property prices are speculative in nature.
People buy property not because the fundamentals make sense but because of the cliché 'you can never go wrong with real estate'. In the process, people are prepared to pay prices that don't make any sense. This explains the crazy prices in the real estate market.

If I were to distill my prime directive for #investing; my overriding philosophy, it would be this - Never leave money lying fallow. #Thread #InvestInYou #Investment
I believe without a shadow of a doubt, that you should get to a point where you live off your returns, not capital. A point where you've invested so much, that the returns become a steady stream that takes care of your needs.
A point where you only dip into capital for major things like buying a house and then, only rarely.

FOCUSED WEALTH: I have a pretty diverse network, thanks to #socialmedia. I meet incredible people offline that I first met online. Some of them are accomplished investors. I have noticed a trend.
#Thread #InvestInYou #Investment #Money
There's a gentleman who always speaks about #venturefunding in the #renewableenergy sector. Honestly, my eyes glaze over when he goes on about turbines and solar panels and the projects he's working on in Brazil. This is because venture funding is not my area of strength.
One day he told me his revenue projections and my eyes popped at the numbers.
