Oga Dipo, I expected to see an analysis of why this is happening. What exactly is triggering this downward spiral?

Nigeria really needs an economist like Kingsley Moghalu. 2019 is for Moghalu.

Young Progressive Party 2019.

Coming after IPOB sit-at-home that lost Nigeria 220 billion naira, now another loss? Ipob has finished this country! What will Hausa-Fulani and Afonjas do now? Where will they get money to eat?

Possible sell-off is significantly from the foreign portfolio investors as they want to sell off before embarking on summer holidays together with our political uncertainty

Why arw shares crashing? Is or because of Buhari s election bid? Is it the jailing of Nyame and it's effect on money bags? Is just uncertainty about next year? Someone say something

Vibra:
I don't understand....

Our president waited for six months to nominate his useless ministers, whom he said are noisemakers.
He ruined the biggest economy into recession.
Foreign exchange rate went from N200 to over N500 before settling at N365.
Loans have more than doubled under Buhari’s vision-less administration.
Fuel price went from N87 to N145 yet there is scarcity.
Etc, etc.
I hope that you understand now.
Buhari is on a mission to steal, to kill and to bury our country.
Do you have your PVC ready?
What of your family and friends? Do they also have their own PVCs

This is the simple logic behind the fall.prices have been falling for quite sometime now. And to prevent a further loss( a further depreciation in value), investors will rather sell their shares than see their share value completely wiped out. So, everybody is trying to sell their shares at the same time.Thus supply is exceeding demand and further complicating the fall. The root cause or the trigger however is not that everybody is trying to sell off their shares at the same time. It is basically economics- our economies lack fundamentals(solely dependent on oil)...I learnt there was drop in oil price last week. Another reason is political...lack of FDI...low FPI,weak regulatory framework that scares foreign investors away, limited and lack of juicy and attractive investment classes, malfeasances (cases of insider information). Have we done anything about these things .No!.this is a viscious circle.Unless something is done, its gonna continue.
To gain in this kind of environment you mist be very smart and quick. Don't buy and go and sleep. The market is information driven. As an investor, do not wait for your friend or others to sell before you sell.Be analytical and calculative at every market, macro and other external information.

If you want to make profit in the NSE, you must be INFORMED or lose everything.

Still prefer property investment, like the one currently selling, you can check my signature, to know more about The Oceanna.

The stock market goes up or down every single day.

Those who know anything about stockmarket investing know this.This is the case all over the world.
Do you know what happened in the US stock market this week and last week?


Nigerian stocks are a good investment if you are investing for the future looking at 10 years or more. Then news like; it went up or down, are practically irrelevant to you
