Is It Time to Buy Stocks, Sell or Wait? NSE Bull Run | Inflation & Investing with Barbara Nzovu
What should you be doing with your money before Kenyaโs 2027 elections? And with the NSE bull run creating opportunities for investors, is now the time to buy, sellโฆ or simply sit tight? In this episode 1 of Season 5, I sit down with Personal Finance Coach and Investor Barbara Nzovu, popularly known as Barbs the Budgeting Coach, for a practical conversation on budgeting, investing and building wealth in Kenya. We break down investing for beginners, from NSE stocks and bonds to money market funds, diversification and understanding whether your investments are actually beating inflation. Barbara also shares how she approaches her own investment portfolio, what to consider when investing around an election period, how to identify companies worth investing in, and when it may make more sense to use a fund manager rather than doing everything yourself. Whether youโre investing your first KES 10,000, building an investment portfolio or simply trying to become more intentional with your money, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.
