Jambo Bwana!
I have been to holiday in Kenya - went to Maasai Mara for wildbeast migration, enjoyed hot air balloon in Governors Camp, and travelled to Mombasa(loved the beaches and the golf courses).
Just one quick question - I tried following the capital markets, and I thought that Nairobi Stock Exchange was a bit illiquid - I don’t think they trade any derivatives as yet(but Jo’burg does). I think the CFA would open more doors, and also good knowledge in the future once NSE advances.
(I read that women in Kenya are currently on sex strike, hope you are still having fun).

the sex strike is over! woohoo! during it, prostitution had a MAJOR boom!!
but yes, our markets are pretty illiquid. The situation has become even worse recently as a number of stockbrokers have gone under with a couple billion shillings of investor funds and the All Share Index has gone down more than 30%.
this has totally killed investor confidence and has led a lot of people towards treasury bonds and bills. the government, sensing the potential, halved the minimum amount required to buy t-bills.
we dont do derivatives here at the NSE. the justification is that the exchange is still too immature for it, but it’s definitely planned for the future. comparing it with other regional markets, the NSE is quite large, but globally it is quite small with less than 60 counters trading.
 
Hmm, index going down more than 30%. Me thinks that has to have something to do with the sex strike. Now that the strike is over, go long!!! (pun intended).
 
I watched on CNN a dude who is taking legal action against the activists who called the strike.
He says the sex strike “resulted in stress, mental anguish, backaches and lack of sleep”.
 
ya, long and hard!
the guy is also saying he couldnt concentrate at work because his wife denied him his conjugal rights and is seeking damages from the women who organised the strike… what a dick! (pun intended!)

when I first read this I though it ended with “… and lack of sheep” !
maybe… if it occured in New Zealand…
(big shout out to all the sheep-shagging cousins across the ditch there)

Most Kiwis consider you guys racist and snobbish.
 
JOE2010 have a bit of a sense of humour dude. Australians and Kiwi’s have been making jokes at each others expense for 150 years, as well as backing each other up in a scrap when needed.
Anyway, it’s only the Australians who think Kiwi’s have an unnatural affection for sheep, the rest of the world thinks it’s actually the other way round
