When Iran launches missiles at U.S. military bases (which are clearly valid military targets in a time of war), the action is described as a "surprise attack" to insinuate that the attack is somehow unethical or immoral.
Yet when the U.S. launches surprise attacks on Iran, including attacks on civilian schools, or assassinations of Iranian leaders, or the bombing of critical civilian infrastructure, those are called "strikes" to imply they are a routine, justifiable part of warfare.
When it comes to the actual moral code of what's happening in this conflict, the U.S. consistently proves itself to be immoral and unethical:
- The U.S. launched the illegal war in the first place, even though Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S.
- The U.S. deliberately targeted and bombed a school with 170+ young girls (children), then double-bombed the target when parents and teachers showed up to try to rescue their injured children.
- The U.S. has repeatedly invited Iran negotiators to travel to a negotiation site, and then bombed them or used explosives to kill them, while blaming Iran for refusing to negotiate.
- The U.S. has no intrinsic right to control the Strait of Hormuz, located nearly on the opposite side of the planet as the United States of America. If that were true, then Iran would have the right to control the Gulf of Mexico.
- Trump routinely orders the U.S. military to strike civilian targets like bridges and power plants, committing act war crimes under U.S. law, while claiming he isn't bound by any laws or rules at all.
- To avoid requiring Congress to declare war, Trump pretends that each military action lasts only 60 days, at which point he declares the action to be concluded, and then the next day he declares a new action has begun, thereby stringing together a series of 60-day emergency actions, effectively usurping the power of Congress and concentrating the power to wage war in the hands of the executive (himself). While the war grows increasingly unpopular, Trump betrays the very Americans he is supposed to represent, and he pursues actions that most Americans find abhorrent.
Summary? The U.S. actions against Iran are illegal, unethical, immoral, unjustified and place the entire world at grave risk of famine, industrial collapse, economic depression and social strife stemming from those conditions.
Trump and Hegseth both need to be removed from office and prosecuted as war criminals. In a world of real justice and peace, perhaps they would share a jail cell with indicted war criminal Netanyahu.

Your Asset Allocation Should Change with Age
In Your 20s
You likely have fewer responsibilities and debts, so this is the time to invest more aggressively in equities. Higher risk now can lead to higher returns over the long term.
In Your 30s & 40s
Responsibilities and debts (mortgage, business loans) often increase during this period. A balanced portfolio across equity, treasury bills & bonds, REITs, balanced and bond funds helps manage risk while still allowing growth.
In Your 50s and Beyond
As retirement approaches, focus shifts toward bonds, bond funds & high-quality dividend stocks. This ensures a regular and stable income while preserving your accumulated wealth.
Day 11: How Trading Works on the NSE (CDS, Brokers & Orders)
Before buying shares on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), you must set up the right foundation.
1️⃣ CDS Account Requirements
A CDS (Central Depository System) Account is mandatory to trade shares.
It holds your shares electronically, just like a bank account holds money.
Requirements to open a CDS account:
✅National ID or Passport
✅Passport photo
✅KRA PIN
✅Proof of address
✅Bank statement/Mpesa Statement
✅Completed KYC forms
Without a CDS account, you cannot buy, sell, or receive shares on the NSE.
2️⃣ Choosing a Broker or Investment Bank
All NSE trades are executed through licensed stockbrokers or investment banks.
Your broker:
Places trades on your behalf
Provides a trading platform
Handles settlement and reporting
Tip: Look for transparent fees, good customer support, and a reliable platform.
3️⃣ How Trading Happens (Digital or Physical)
Trading on the NSE can be done in two ways:
Digital trading: Via broker online portals or the NSE mobile app
Physical trading: Visiting a broker’s office to place trades manually
Most investors now trade digitally, making investing faster and more accessible.
4️⃣ Market Orders vs Limit Orders
Market order: Executes immediately at the current price (fast, less control)
Limit order: Executes only at your chosen price (slower, more control)
Example:
• Market order → Buy at current price
• Limit order → Buy only if price falls to KSh 15.00
5️⃣ Costs You Must Know
Trading is not free. Investors pay:
Brokerage fees (up to 2.1%)
Statutory levies (CMA, CDSC, NSE, Investor Compensation Fund)
Taxes: 5% withholding tax on dividends, 15% capital gains tax (2025)
Key takeaway:
👉 Investing starts with compliance, structure, and cost awareness, not stock picking.
Day 10: NSE Indices & Market Segments- How Kenya’s Stock Market Is Structured.
Before investing in shares on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), it’s important to understand how the market is organized and measured.
Indices track the performance of selected groups of shares
Become as self-reliant as possible. Think old school, because nobody is coming to save you.
Invest in tangible assets.
~Livestock
~Real estate
~Tree farming
~Commodities
~Food and water
~Usable skill-sets
~Machinery and tools
~Off-grid energy solutions
~Precious metals eg. Gold
The cash lying in your savings account is not sustainable wealth.
That is money for living expenses and emergencies. It costs you to keep it.
Wealth is ownership of assets that pay you money.
These are equities, real estate, treasury bills/bonds, special funds, and businesses.
