Steve Jobs was a terrible person. Kevin O'Leary hated him.

Kevin O'Leary worked with him in the early 90s making educational software. He'll tell you that directly.

"Not a nice guy. Not a nice guy."

Jobs would stand in a room full of people and say: "I don't give a shit what the students want or the parents think or anybody thinks. It's what I want. They don't know what they want till I tell them what they want."

Kevin pushed back. "Steve, you sound like such an asshole."

Jobs didn't blink.

"Now, are you making money with me? Am I your fastest growing OEM? Have we not been wildly successful and continue to be?"

Kevin admitted he was right.

"Then fucking shut up and do what I say."

Kevin understood later: Jobs wasn't just being difficult. He was operating on a completely different signal-to-noise ratio than everyone else in the room.

His definition of signal was ruthlessly narrow: the three to five things you must get done in the next 18 hours. Not next week. Not next month. Not next year. Just today.

Everything else, every meeting, every opinion, every distraction — was noise to be eliminated.

Jobs ran at 80/20. Eighty percent signal. Twenty percent noise.

Kevin knew this firsthand. Jobs would email him at 2:30 in the morning. No texts back then. Just an email sitting in your inbox at 2:30am, expecting a reply.

"He was right. He was right."

The only person Kevin has ever seen run a higher ratio? Elon Musk.

"He has no noise. He does not deal with noise. He is 100% signal — 60 seconds of every minute, 60 minutes of every hour, the 18 hours he's awake. It's all signal."

@allan_muriuki @NSE_Investors I have found Suntra IB.
Good reviews on them. Plus investing equities with a CB instead of an IB is the reason I would prefer Suntra.

Dividend stocks like ABSA, Co-op, Carbacid, Stanbic, and Standard Chartered can be a sound retirement plan.

The best months to buy dividend stocks are January, March, May, June, September, and November.

Other good months to buy dividend stocks include February, April, July, August, October, and December.

Day 1 – Stocks 101 for Beginners (2026)

A stock is a small piece of ownership in a company.

When you buy a stock, you’re not gambling. you’re saying:
“I own part of this business.”

This applies whether the company is listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) or global markets like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ

As a shareholder:
• You benefit when the business grows
• You share in profits through dividends
• Your stock value rises or falls based on company performance and future expectations

Stocks move because business results change and investor confidence shifts.Not by chance.

Why this matters for you as an investor in 2026:
• Cash loses value every year due to inflation
• Owning productive businesses helps protect and grow purchasing power
• Stocks turn consumers into owners, not just spenders

📌 Investing is not about getting rich fast.
📌 It’s about owning quality businesses over time.

@Safaricom_Care our clients are unable to access their full Mpesa statements for 12 months. At best they only get 1 month even though they requested for 12 months. Any timeline for resolution of this issue please?

Dear @CMAKenya,

There was a reason why the max 2 terms was put in place.

Do not extend it.

Find new blood. Substantially reduce fees and commissions. It should be a fixed rate per trade not a %.

That is what will attract more investors to provide liquidity.

2. …can’t even tell the difference between structured finance and a ponzi scheme, never managed any pension fund, never started or run any business… wanting to tell investment managers how to manage money and rename their businesses?

As global giants Google, Microsoft and Visa set up base in Nairobi, local startups are worried about being outcompeted in the battle for talent.
