1. I lost USD10,000 in shares in 2009 when we dollarized.

I should have known better, I was after all a degreed investment analyst for the most popular asset management firm and we made money make sense.

The problem is I didn’t realize gains.
I had to relearn investing after

2. So I empathize when people fear losses.

This is why I podcast and blog on my experiences / lessons learnt on @maripodcastzw

I have had experience with all markets in Zim and dumb down as much as possible.

Knowledge matters. Please listen and learn and we walk together

3. Besides learning we need to *unlearn* a lot as Zimbabweans on what meaningful returns are.

Over the years I met and learnt from many people. I still enjoy learning. You can’t skip that step in investing.

So, I will share a few people I follow here as we go so you benefit

4. Wealth is built steadily, over time pls.

I have no quick tips.

Start by listening to all the podcasts on mari.co.zw then we build on that, it’s impossible for me to give personal financial advise & against the law.

I offer financial education only for now.

5. But this year, in addition to the podcasts & blogs (which will revert to the product reviews we started with from Q2) - I will share bite size content in newsletters, host monthly events & FINALLY push out the “candid book on all personal finance basics you need to know”

6. We’ve curated a lovely list of 12 topics and will bring in special guests who all have Zimbabwe /Africa connections to break it down.

Remember our @maripodcastzw mantra is simple: Helping You Make Sound Financial Decisions.

Be prepared. Tell others.

It will end in wealth.

7. P.S. it was USD10,000 in OMIR terms so I like to comfort myself by saying even that high rate was off.

Things were much worse!

8. And yes will get an advisory services license as soon as I raise the USD150k
