Quote from: SuperGuy on February 16, 2008, 07:29 PM
Pumping, I can see you are on the floor on this rare day when many are relaxing,
thanks and I hope you will respond to my mail too.

-Lasaco seems to be a stock to watch, at least there is no PO in sight, 3q result (879m) being the highest
in that sector and very likely to declare great profit. What is your position on it and what price are we looking at
in the next 1 month.

-What do you think Ikeja hotel price will be by march end, don't know why the stock is not rising despite
very good 3q result (690m) and share o/s just 1.85b, we expect the pe at year end to around 12 which is great,
I see the stock moving to around #12 considering the above statistic; what do you really think?

Thanks and please respond as I intend taking position next week.

Lasaco - Are you so sure there is no PO in the works? Anyway, I don't have anything fantastic to say about any insurance stock right now. Generally, they are all over-priced but by varying degrees. Lasaco has a forward PE of around 37 so I won't consider it cheap. Sentiments is what is driving that sector right now. I think it is good for short term trading though. We won't start seeing their results till around June and I don't see many of them coming up with fantastic results. In the next one month we will see all kind of prices as profit takers keep the price cycling up and down but the trend will likely be upwards.

Ikeja Hotels - Predicting future price na bigboylarry's territory o. I no sabi do that one  Grin Grin

Ikeja Hotel for me now is a medium term stock. We need to wait for the full year results to come and last year this did not come out till September so it could be a long wait. If you look at the stock historically, it tends to move around the time of announcement of results or a general bull market so don't be surprised if the stock price tend to be stagnant for a while except something tangible happens.

I don't see how the Elephant will give 50% in June sha but thats just me, even UBA will be more so 30% unless there's news that proves to be worth it. Wouldnt u be better doing CICO making 25% 1 place like in Diamond and then shifting it.
meanwhile how is your N40mil going, abeg keep us updated now Grin

WASKY-WAJA: Old boy the stocks you mentioned have been recently talked about a few pages back. Any replies you get might not be as in depth as various contributions from different people. I would suggest going back a few pages and this will hopefully help structure any unanswered questions you have. I hope this helps.

STOCK: A magical piece of paper that is worth $33.75 until the moment you buy it. It will then be worth $8.50.
BOND: What you had with your spouse until you pawned his/her golf clubs to invest in Amazon.com.

BROKER: The person you trust to help you make major financial decisions. Please note the first five letters of this word spell Broke.

BEAR: What your trade account and wallet will be when you take a flyer on that hot stock tip your secretary gave you.

BULL: What your broker uses to explain why your mutual funds tanked during the last quarter.

MARGIN: Where you scribble the latest quotes when you're supposed to be listening to your manager's presentation.

SHORT POSITION: A type of trade where, in theory, a person sells stocks he doesn't actually own. Since this also only ever works in theory, a short position is what a person usually ends up being in (i.e. "The rent, sir? Hahaha, well, I'm a little short this month.").

COMMISSION: The only reliable way to make money on the stock market, which is why your broker charges you one.

YAK: What you do into a pail when you discover your stocks have plunged and your broker is making a margin call.


The Simpson's invited their new neighbors the Parkers over to dinner. During dinner Mr Simpson asked Mr Parker what he did for a living.
4 year old Billy Parker jumped in and said

" Daddy is a fisherman!"

To which Mrs Parker replied" Billy why do say that? Your daddy is a stock broker not a fisherman."

"No Mom. Everytime we visit dad at work and he hangs up the phone he laughs, rubs his hands together and says I just caught another fish."


Two women were walking through the woods when a frog called out to them and said: "Help me, ladies! I am a stockbroker who, through an evil witch's curse, has been transformed into a frog. If one of you will kiss me, I'll be returned to my former state!"
One woman took out her purse, grabbed the frog, and stuffed it inside her handbag. The other woman, aghast, screamed, "Didn't you hear him? If you kiss him, he'll turn into a stockbroker!"

The second woman replied, "Sure, but these days a talking frog is worth more than a stockbroker!"

Now that the FG,has reversed the sale of NITEL(MTEL to me),to Transcorp,I can expect some panic selling from some fellas(I,m actually praying for it),so I can enter @ a little discount  from the closing price of Friday.
It's actually now that Transcorp will be attractive to me,what with the cleansing of their board of directors,coming on the heels of a change mgt structure,good corporate governance is bound to sprout.This and many other considerations will put THE NEW TRANSCORP in good stead to attract sound technical partners(I have a feeling Transcorp may re-bid for Nitel,that's if the new mgt re-strategises appropriately).

The revdersal is GOOD NEWS to me

Trust Nigerians. I agree with you about the panic selling. The price is sure to go down for a while, until anotha bit of news hits the papers again. I'll probably by some more as well. I am too sure Transcorp will come back in full bloom within the year.

@Nairalanders

Government's reversal of Nitel sale to transcorp is contrary to my recent information. This was that Transcorp will be left with about 15% with the new buyer owning the rest and some shares from government's holding. This would have been a good thing provided the right amount was paid for it.

It may yet be good for the shareholders if the correct sum is refunded to Transcorp swiftly enabling the deployment of the funds in other areas.

It is an embarrassment that a project touted as "100% Nigerian" has failed in this banner venture.

We will now have to wait to see how the moneybags who invested at 1N per 1N share react on the NSE. We will know tomorrow.

This is what i got from tradeinvest


The federal government is looking for a new investor in NITEL and Mtel to improve the companies' fortunes. NITEL is Nigeria's first national telephone carrier and Mtel its mobile arm.

A year after the Transnational Corporation (Transcorp) took over the operational side of the company, both the federal government and Transcorp has agreed to divest a percentage of their equity to a new investor.

According to the government they are looking for a core investor who is an industry player with a focus, technical expertise, managerial experience and financial capacity to turn NITEL/Mtel around.

You  have to register on this website http://www.armdiscoveryfund.com/ using your IVxxxxxxx number provided by ARM on your receipt of payment, there is also on-line activation instruction on this receipt. Your account will be activated after few dyas/week and then you can start to track your investment. You can also contact your ARM officer to help speed up the activation of your on-line access. note that I gave you the discovery fund webpage but you can still use it for the aggressive fund.

@Abu Maryam,your broker break the egg,who come make the omelette?
If there is any one that has been Lucky with Transcorp,I'm the one(I  offloaded immediately after the TS was lifted for the first time after the IPO @ about 9.70).My previous posts per this coy in recent time show that after offloading,I've not been impressed enough to re-enter,even when the price started crashing.
However,I maintain that this is the best thing to happen to my plans for Transcorp,let the massive offloading start,then I'll decide when to re-enter.Blueband said the hotel made a loss last year,I KNOW.
What profit have Nigeria wire and cable ,Africa paints etc been making?but we have made money from trading in those stocks.The gates of NIGWIRCABLE may still be under lock and key even as I write,but the price still dey go North Pole.

Anyway,just follow your heart,na now me I dey aim Transcorp,after all,when Africa paints dey 1.01 last year,na so I dey hint pips for this thread say e get something wey go soon move the price up ,so make pips try buy,I no know how many people listen to me,but I offloaded @ 3.67.
So good luck with your decision

It was evident Transcorp bit off more than its young teeth could chew with NITEL, and also could have done
better to help its case, but then lets pause for a minute here.  .  .

  - A month ago, NCC supposingly gave Transcorp 6 months to improve MTEL or lose its license
  - 3 weeks ago, the Senate in charge of Telecommunication endorsed its transformation strategy
  - Just a week ago, the government announced the resolution to dilute both its and Transcorp shareholding
    in order to make way for a new core investor and have forwarded the resolution to Yar Adua for approval
  - So between last week and yesterday, the minister or FG trashed the resolution and CANCELLED the sale
    (so much for due process)?
  - Weren't all these respective stakeholders in the same meeting with Transcorp in December?
  - Also, what does CANCEL or REVERSE mean? Is it 0% for Transcorp or is it 10% or 15% or 24%?
 
Finally, how does the government expect to a get a new so called "majority" investor if they planned to still
control NITEL?  How can you say another entity "owns" something and yet the government is still calling the
shots on what goes on with NITEL (higher board representation, and other interferences).  What guarantee
will the FG offer to the new core investor that the next government will not REVERSE the sale?

Heck, unless the government has a ready buyer (very unlikely if they are invoking their due process) I wonder
where they are getting +$500million to re-pay Transcorp? So does Transcorp still owns 51% until they a find a
new buyer? If that's the case, what is the sense in this latest announcement and how is that different from the
joint resolution that was announced last week? Hey, this is Nigeria, it will be incomplete if there is no confusion.

My broker,specifically Cashcraft sold my stocks without my consent.I asked for it to be sold on Monday and by wednesday when they had not sold it,I called my broker and asked them not to sell again.I followed this up with a text and email.I received a trade alert on Friday that the shares had been sold at a loss.

What can I do to reverse this sale.I tire for Cashcraft.First they put me in debt by buying shares I didn't ask them to.Now they sell shares I didn't ask them to.

Is sending an email to CSCS enough to reverse the sale.As I understand this is the reason why we have trade alerts.So brokers cannot sell your shares.HAs this happened to anyone before?How did they deal with it.

I can't wait to get all my money out of cashcraft.It remains the worst broker in the Universe.Cashcraft was definately created by the devil.
