@rkabushenga 3 things to watch; expenses, expenses, expenses! It’s time to cut out wasteful spending to maximize net income. Money saved must be invested in short term treasuries. In uncertain times, it’s better to ride the short end of the yield curve but have the flexibility to raise cash.

@rkabushenga @nssfug @rkabushenga was discussed most of last week. Nothing new to add. Most of our investments are longtime & selling them to get cash would crash equity markets & send interest rates spiraling upwards. It would create more harm to the economy. GOU can use other tools not @nssfug

@rkabushenga How to tell an investment idea is a scam; 1. Investment is not backed by an asset, be it inventory or PPE or monetary assets 2. It’s a complicated or unique investment opportunity. 3. Investment is offering a “guarantee” of returns and no risk 4. When returns on investment are..

@collinearinda25 @rkabushenga Not a fan of cryptocurrencies. How do they make value? What are you investing in? Is it backed by an asset, inventory or monetary assets? It is a complicated investment opportunity. Returns on investment are not in sync with cash flows.

@rkabushenga Investment clubs are the best way for savers to pool resources as it lowers the unit cost & if they have a good investment committee, than they can change strategies to match the times. Investment clubs have the following great benefits for young people: 1. Wisdom of the crowd….

@rkabushenga 3 important things about ideas to invest in: 1. Desirability - will customers like it. Is there a big enough problem to invest in? Is it affecting a good number of people? 2. Feasibility- Can the solution be built? Is technology available? Are the skills available?Will it work?

@Rwakakamba @nssfug @kasujja @nbstv @owere_usher This is not even a choice. @nssfug is an old age pension scheme. Govt should be the one working on granting citizens relief either through tax cuts or helicopter payments like they have done in the UK. Most of @nssfug is invested in Govt bonds. Therefore hv discount bonds.

@GtRaymond @rkabushenga The only variable is expenses as most times income is fixed for a period. You have control over which expenses to make or stop. That’s the discipline you need; save first before you spend. & invest your savings however small. I have already shared that on a another post.

@rkabushenga Will people use it? 3. Viability - will people pay for this solution? Are there enough potential users? Is the timing right? Is it priced correctly so that it covers its operating costs? Something to ponder: before covid..wld you have invested in Jumia if opportunity arose?…
