If you have an appetite for risk I'll tell you how to make money

Kenyans amaze me. We are probably among the most industrious, entrepreneurial, intelligent people in this part of the hemisphere. I continuously meet people who are innovating on new ways to stay ahead of the pack and make some extra coins.

Recently I have been engaged in the newest money-making fad at GEC, currency trading. Currency trading involves the buying and selling of currency pairs (e.g. Euro/US Dollar or Dollar/ Yen) over an interconnected network of banks and dealers. It is the largest and most liquid market in the world (1.5 trillion dollars a day) and operates 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday. Most importantly it is accessible to retail traders (read me and a bunch of other enterprising Kenyans) through a software interface connected through the internet. You can start with as low as $200 (KSh. 14,000) and can conservatively make 10% returns on investments per day! (make $400 (KSh. 28,000) profit in one month from a $200 investment)

When I first heard about it I thought it was a fraud, but currency trading can achieve such high gains using leverages of up to 400:1. It is important though to understand that leverage magnifies both gains and losses and it is easy to lose a substantial amount of money within a very short period. Nevertheless there are strategies to protect your capital, increase your profits and minimize your losses. I was introduced to currency trading by a member at GEC and I am now helping others setup their own trading accounts and employ the above mentioned strategies. With the all-in-one facilities at GEC (high speed internet, computer, office desk and chair) and SoftLaw's financial consulting one can comfortably make a living trading currencies at GEC.

Karanja:

Kenyans are amazingly industrious, enterprising, and adept or intelligent at finding ways to make money-you have not led us astray on that one.

This currency trading venture sounds like you are really on to something. That's how George Soros became a billionaire-right? What about folks who are not in Kenya, would they be using the same software interface as the one that you described?

Forex trading is as said the most traded and largest trading exchange in the world. It requires quite alot of attention and constantly paying attention to market changing treads but it is very lucrative. check these websites out: www.forextrading.com/
www.forex.com/
www.pro-forex.com/
some of them have a downloadable demo that you can use to learn about the exchange before putting your hard-earned money into it.

Benin,

The software interface is dependent on the forex broker you use to trade. Different brokers have different interfaces but t doesn't matter whether you are in Hong Kong or Kenya or Canada, as long as you are using the same broker you shall trade on the same interface.

Hoseah,

Well said and thanks for the links. Anyone interested can also check out www.fxstreet.com.

Agreed Forex is one of the most traded commodities in the world. There are further derivatives on forex which I believe might protect you from the risks of downward movements when holding 'calls'. Also see derivatives on equities such as CFD's. I am not sure whether you can do this from anywhere but good to check out www.igmarkets.com

Trade but just don't lose ur shirt. You have to lose a couple of times before u become a pro...Demo trading is the answer. If u are not making money in the demo then take ur money elsewhere coz u will lose everything before u even know what is going on. I have been trading since 2006 February but I dumped it because I found something better to trade. I make $800 per day on a bad day but sometimes I lose upto $2000 dollars on a bad day but overall trading can take u places and again, "There is no free lunch in wall street"

It's true Kenyan are entrepreneurial and industrious people, alwayas on the lookout for new ways to earn and internet based opportunities are emerging day after day.

The major limitation has however been difficulty in accepting money online but that may change very soon as paypal start working for us here.

Forex trading sounds like a great idea and will consider giving it a shot.

Thanks for sharing this.

Regards
The internet has created many opportunities to make money and I'm happy to see Kenyans embrace them each and every day.

It gets even more encouraging when I hear success stories like yours. Forex trading is one that I was a bit scary of but after reading your post, I think I'll give it a shot.

Thanks and keep up inspiring Kenyans towards greater success.

A Young Entrepreneur Who Refused to Look for a Job

A read I thought would be of interest: LITTLE might be known about Imran Khosla, but not so for those who frequent courts or those in the information and communication technology industry. His is a story of a young entrepreneur who has refused to sit and just wait for jobs to come but has decided with the little cash he has to start off his own business that is now giving birth to new ventures beyond what he had imagined. Now in his late twenties, Imran set up his first electronic shop which also sold computer accessories in 2008. “After hearing lots of stories about graduates who have had tormenting search for jobs to no avail, obviously that was not the route I wished to take. I wanted to create my own job, and be my own boss, this was the inspiration that threw me into the world of entrepreneurship, and four years on, I tell you all is well and you cannot believe it I have over ten employees, and whose turnover is running into fortunes now,” Imran says with a cheer. His journ...

Sine qua non

Reader’s discretion: Strong Language and Violence Paxa  Rainne slams her open palm on the car horn frustrated. Another matatu has overlapped and cut her off just as she was to join the highway. Driving into town from Ngara is still a nightmare, despite a spanking new superhighway. Rainne wonders if her naivety in being polite to other road users is a magnet for this menace. Rainne has been in traffic now for over an hour and has hardly moved ten metres, giving way to dozens of other vehicles but not getting any reciprocation. She wriggles her bare toes, driving shoeless in these conditions is more comfortable.  She takes comfort in that small luxury. The lotion she applied on her feet earlier is keeping them nice and cool. The conductor of the matatu swings wildly from the door as it narrowly misses Rainne’s front bumper. “Siste, huku ni Nairobi, jikakamue”! She glares at him and he returns a lewd look, seemingly excited at the fact that he’s unnerved ...

TO MENS REA OR NOT TO MENS REA

  Does excluding mens rea in the Statement of Offence make a charge defective? Rule of Law When a person is accused of an offence, his constitutional right to a fair hearing requires that he should be informed of the charge with sufficient detail to answer it [1] . In order for an accused person to be informed of the charge, first the charge is drawn up and secondly it is stated to him. Drawing the Charge A charge or information is drawn with sufficient detail to answer it if it contains:  a statement of the specific offence or offences with which the accused person is charged; and particulars necessary for giving reasonable information as to the nature of the offence charged [2] . The framing of a charge or information should follow the rules laid down in Section s137(a)(ii)the Criminal Procedure Code which provides: 137(a)(ii) the statement of offence shall describe the offence shortly in ordinary language, avoiding as far as possible the use of ...
