How to buy stocks in The Nairobi Security Exchange (NSE), Kenya:

I will be simple.

First, shares are traded at the NSE.

When you buy a share of a company, you become an owner of that company. You are an investor in that company.

#BetterTogether

OPEN A CDS account,

Shares are bought and sold through a special account known as Central Depository System Account (CDS).

Here, your money is stored safely for buying and selling.

CDS accounts are managed by Central Depository & Settlement Corporation Ltd.

@Coopbankenya

How to open a CDS account:

- Walk into your bank ( @Coopbankenya , @AbsaKenya, @KCBGroup, @NCBABankKenya or @KeEquityBank etc) and ask for the BROKERAGE DEPARTMENT.

Every bank trading at NSE has one.

#BetterTogether

- Cooperative bank has KINGDOM SECURITIES

- NCBA has NCBA Investment Bank Ltd.

- Equity Bank has Equity Investment bank Ltd.

- KCB has KCB capital.

- ABSA has ABSA Securities Ltd

Etc

#BetterTogether

There are other independent brokers like:

- Dyer & Blair Investment Bank Ltd

- Suntra Investment Bank Ltd

- Genghis Capital Ltd

,among others.

You can also opt to use them instead of the commercial banks.

#BetterTogether

The brokerage firms will help you open a CDS account that you will ise for buying and selling shares at NSE.

- Note that some firms allow online registration but I’d advise you go to their offices and ask your questions.

Have an ID, KRA PIN and Passport photo.

#BetterTogether

The CDS account may take 2 - 3 days for its approval by Central Depository & Settlement Corporation Ltd ( CDSC).

Once you get your account, it is time to begin trading.

Don't be scared, your broker will give you a relationship officer who will help you trade.

#BetterTogether

Brokers have web and mobile apps that will facilitate you to trade at your convenience.

The market closes at 3 PM.

Here is my trading dashboard.

#BetterTogether

@BritamEA

You can only own or buy at least 100 shares.

For example, on my dashboard below BRIT ( @BritamEA) trades their shares by close of business at Ksh 8 per share.

Therefore, you will spend at least Ksh 800. So, deposit at least Ksh 1000 in your CDS to buy Britam shares

Investing in shares is a long term investment.

Before you buy them, do a thorough analysis of the market and the company.

Your broker’s relationship officer will help you pick the company that offers a viable return.

So, what are you waiting for?

Start.

When I saw Kenya’s nutritionist and dietician Institute partner with the manufacturers of BOUILLON CUBES (Roiko), I was not surprised because this kind of nexus is what has led to a rise in cardio-metabolic syndrome.

Let me tell you something about these cubes.

#FoodFriday

ROICO is made from MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE (MSG) - an artificial glutamic acid known as D- glutamic acid.

This acid is combined with corn starch or soy starch to trick your taste buds into believing that the food you are eating is tasty & of nutritional quality.

#FoodFriday

MSG spikes your insulin 10 times.

MSG is free bound, it roams in blood attaching itself to receptors, triggering radicals.

Cancer cells survive on glutamate ( ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…), consuming MSG avails copious amounts of glutamate for cancer cells to grow.

Greatest muscles of your body

1. Sartorius - Longest muscle

2. Latissimus Dorsi - Broadest muscle

3. Gluteus - Strongest muscle

The stronger these muscles, the stronger your frame.

The workout that hits them all at once is THE SQUAT.

#BetterTogether

SARTORIUS is the longest muscle of the human body. It originates from the hip and inserts just below the knee. Its function is the flexion and rotation of your hips and knees.

#BetterTogether

Latissimus Dorsi is the broadest muscle which is located at your back. It is also known as the 'swimmers' muscle'.

It rotates and extends shoulder joints. It also depresses the shoulder blades. It helps in extension of the spine.

Woe unto you if your boss is obese.

He or she will project on you all the anger, resentment and low self-esteem because of how he or she hates their body.

Please tell your boss to UNFAT. - or the organization might collapse because of his weight and appetite.

#BetterTogether

How do you tell your boss to UNFAT?

Simple.

There is probability your boss is struggling to lose weight and therefore using anger towards employees as a way to cope up with the frustrations of living with:

- Obesity

- Diabetes

- PE and ED

- Hypertension.

#BetterTogether

Start living a healthy lifestyle.

When in the office:

- Practice intermittent fasting,

- Discard sugar & processed carbs.

- Go to the gym, run once a week then post your photos in the office social media groups.

- Share my #BetterTogether tweets to your social media status.

I am a playwright & stage director,

Friends School Kamusinga, with the winning play "Hamlet"

A play about HIV (U=U), Set in the human body.

Hamlet - White blood cell
Ophelia- Red Blood cell
Gertrude- DNA
Claudius - HIV

Let me tell you the story of these amazing boys.

Friends School Kamusing is a top-cream national boys high school in Western Kenya, - and Kenya.

It registers excellent results and sends hundreds to the university.

For this reason, it admits bright students.

However, something is missing in these boys.

Despite having good grades, they lack the much required soft skills.

- Public speaking.
-Problem-solving skills.
- EQ.
and the rest.

This is common in schools. Students finish with good grades but poor social skills.

That's why the Friends school principal looked for me.
