Bullish Thoughts is seriously thinking of investing in a primary and
high school. Yes, he is considering going to Chegutu Lands Committee and getting
a 20ha plot where he will farm tobacco and leave enough space to build the
schools.
He is going to employ a few local dudes to mold farm bricks and then
buy a few face bricks from Willdale or Beta Bricks and construct a school deep
in the woods there.
The fees will be $2,000 per term for Grade 0 to 3, $2,500 for Grade 4
to 7. For the high school, because the children will be writing Cambridge
exams, the fees will be $4,000 for Form 1 to 4 and $5,000 per term for A
Levels!
Extra-curricular activities will include court tennis, table tennis, soccer
(after ramming down some former maize field), netball, basketball, baseball,
Yoga, Karate, swimming, show jumping, etc.
If the school enrolls two classes each for Grade 0-3 with 20 students
in each class that’s a nice revenue account.

Now isn’t that a nice revenue account? Some listed entities would
actually envy that. As for expenses, the investors will charge a bus levy to
buy buses for students, books levy to buy books and sports fees to equip the
sporting facilities. Incentives & donations will be used to pay for staff
salaries, etc.
This venture will not have to increase fees to boost revenue, just the
number of students and capped at 30 per class for quality!
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
With Lomagundi charging around $4,000 per term, Hellenic Preparatory
$2,000, Watershed $4,000 and Falcon circa $3,500 per term you get the drift!
After paying an arm and a leg for Grade 2 First Term fees for little
Miss Bullish Thoughts, Bullish Thoughts Snr was left convinced they might be a
business case for investing in a school.
Any potential partners out there so that we get the ball rolling?
Bullish Thoughts is offering his
idea, connections at the Mash West Lands Committee and being Treasurer/Bursar
for the school as capital.
Don’t worry about demand, a crusade encouraging procreation will be
underway once potential backers are on board.
What is the Return on Education
(ROEd)?
The investment aside: Are you getting your worth from the numerous
schools after spending the whole term scurrying to raise school fees?
Will your child even see the doors of a university in future if
education costs continue spiraling out of control?
Is it not time that you started seriously saving and investing to
prepare and secure the future of your loved ones?
Not all will be able to continue walking on the financial minefield
that education costs have become once they leave the C-Suite!
Just thinking aloud…
Blue chips shaft investors on
the ZSE…
Delta Beverages hits 115.5c, Innscor 81c, Econet 520c… Except Econet
Wireless, these are all time high prices.
If you are a retail investor, you probably were ALWAYS advised that you
cannot invest in blue chips because they are not volatile…i.e., they do not move up significantly to generate
sufficient returns for investors.
So you are probably holding some Truworths, Starafrica and other third
tier stocks which are following financial market gravity while the blue chips
accelerate in the opposite direction.
Is it too late to get into the blue chips? Bullish Thoughts thinks it
is given that Delta has surpassed almost all the real and thump sucked target
prices given by stockbrokers and various and equally experienced thumb sucking
analysts.
But the whole development should indeed change your view of equities
markets. Never mind the foreign investor angle!

Bullish Thoughts hopes that those that had visited Sekuru Shumba were
not seeking “muti” against Bullish
Thoughts whose Delta holdings keep appreciating in value.
Bullish Thoughts urges all prospective and current business owners to hone
their business skills. Every Jack & Jill college/university is now offering
basic business training and there are also a lot of free business courses being
offered.
Also if you are in transport, you should know that a vehicle should be
road worthy, have a VID fintness certificate, route permit, rank disc, etc.
That way, you won’t lose money through fines and bribes. You won’t make
persistent losses and you won’t need to visit a sangoma to plug ypur financial
hell hole!
Last Bullish Thoughts says Kun’anga hakuendwe masikati (You don’t
visit a witchdoctor during daytime)!
Invest Wisely!
