My day today

Went to work by bus today.On my way back this night bus was filled with Nigerians and you culd hear them(sorry,us) shouting "sho" ,"I bow for you o", then one shouts IGZAKTLI, (actually she meant to say "exactly"), it just reminded me of Lagos.That is Thamesmead for you.Welcome to Nigeria.On getting home I had been summoned to appear before the magistrates for not paying my council tax on time.In the interim them don fine me extra 100 pounds.And to make matters worse on opening Nairaland,I had to read through 5 pages to get here!!!!!!

Wendy,the guy you interviewed is right.You only give references when you have been offered the job.How will it look if your employer keeps getting requests for references for you when you are still working there?Sooner than later you will be sacked, we are offered options to send referees after we have been offered the job.Be kind on the guy,biko.


This 100 pounds fine still dey vex me I swear!

Hehehe  Grin Grin Grin Are you sure you're not just venting because your broker is a show spoiler when it comes to cico? Cheesy Talk true  Grin just kidding

Anyway, like you said, all of these methods have their advantages and disadvantages.

WindyWendy, maybe I did not mention it.  MBC Securities works fine for me now, there I got my DELIVERANCE.  I give my mandate 8 to 8.45 in the morning and I get my Trade alert around 4pm or 5 same day  -  Unless the stock is on heavy bid.  I am only selling off my holdings with those other aboki stock BREAKERS Grin  If I de do CICO with those ones, una for don see me for CNN or SKYNEWS Wink

What would you then say of the petroleum sector that seems to have outperformed the banks then?

There has been a serious catalyst which has driven the price of the petroleum stocks. Nothing similar has happened in banking.  If not for Dangote takeover of AP and now the diversification into exploration for AandO, these stocks will just be another bunch of cyclic stocks.

Stocks with high nominal price can move but it needs more than interim results. If you look at the petroleum sector in any case, you can see that they are all selling at a premium now and it has nothing to do with earnings which has not changed in any way so far.

One other thing to bear in mind is that petroleum stocks and stocks like Nestle don't have many billions of shares outstanding. If there is any strong positive news, it does not take much for a bull run. Most of the banks have never had so many outstanding shares. Generally, the supply is still there.

@wanaj0,

Thanks for the info. I did not give them any instruction to sell my FCMB shares O.I have not received any contract note for the execution of the orders from Afrinvest.I don't know how many Dunlop shares they bought, how much they bought it for or when they bought it and they couldnt even bother informing me about it. I will be migrating to Fidelity Union/ Citi Invest Cap soon, not used to being treated like that. Mike Murdock did say that its better to "go to where you are celebrated instead of being tolerated", and I was even thinking of sending that Susan a designer perfume from Harrods
@LondonCool
Have you checked your junk box to see if any of their replies was sent there?. I also use AFRINVEST and all their mails have been sent to my junk mailbox until I added each of the broker/trader to my address book,

Just my take on this.

Fidelity has over 16B shares listed already and there are sellers around still trying to lock profit from that sudden rise before the PO. Anytime the share price attempts to move north, profit takers will descend and depress the price. Additional shares are still to be listed for the PO.

When there are so many potential sellers, it is just hard for prices to move consistently in one direction. This has been my observation so far. I could be wrong. As another example, look at Oceanic.

One might say, what about Access? Well, Access has under 7B shares listed that is available for sale right now. Those that did the PO cannot sell yet. Once this additional 9B or more shares are listed, it could be a different story.

If you are looking for gains in the short run, I won't advice holding on to Fidelity.

Just my own take. Caveat Emptor.

Thanks Risky, I really appreciate.

 Our words indeed!!! I'll give them 2 more weeks (for their words) and if by chance it gains about 10%, I'll discharge everything and move to 3 or 4 better stocks.

Abeg go pay the 100 pounds before the thing go double from not paying the tax on time o.

No mind the guy we interviewed o jare. Even if he didn't want to give references for fear of his employer finding out that he was currently seeking alternative employment, there are better ways to put it  na? The way he put it left a real sour taste in our mouths. Anyway that was his own undoing.

Virtually all banking stocks are like that now.  I was asking for volunteers recently to help us push DIAMOND BANK start.  No volunteer was available as they were all occupied trying to push UBA, GTB, FCMB and indeed others.  Sometimes the prices go just vex, sometimes then go cool down.  They have all been DISBEHAVING Smiley

My broker was just telling me that there were unfilled bids of over 16m units of ABC at the close of trading today. I guess the stock still has some place to go. @Dollyp1cute, na to siddon relax be that o -- you're the only other person I know that has it.

Meanwhile a broking house came and sold some large chunks of Livestock feeds today. Despite that, the price didn't take a lot of dipping. Looks like peeps are mopping this one up o. I sold today anyway.

Only few things are as painful as this, ACL.  It has happened to me several times.  It would look like they were watching me to sell.  I sold my 150,000 units of Japaul at 7.93 post TS and the following two days, it was on BID till it rose to where it is now.  Same thing with my C & I Leasing with the other yeye brokers, 100,000 units at N9.60 and it went on bid the following day and today it is N13 plus, and yet I have not received the money Cry  Sold my STACO, 100,000 at N4.50 last month and before the end of that week it started gaining maximum points until it got to N6 plus.  I had held it for 4 months without any substantial price movement.  At a point I thought I was under a spell.  I discharged my NGC at N26 last two weeks, what is the price today?  N30 plus

Maybe you are chasing high speed eurostar like trains.Or maybe you are looking to buy stocks like Julius Berger and Arbico.Go for liquid stocks that are on net offer to test your brokers capability.If he cannot get that then move on.

Ah yes o, the broker is a key part of that strategy. Otherwise you can forget it because from my experience picking cico stocks is easier than getting in and out at the right time. For instance, i gave a mandate for the purchase of poly product (yes, the infamous poly products) and vono to my other broker last sunday, to be executed on monday. Monday came and went, no show. Tuesday still no show. I cancelled thereafter. How the prices have gone since then is history. My plan was to get in and out by Friday due to the riskiness of the stocks. That "other" broker (i shall not name names  Cheesy) of mine spoiled my show and I eventually had to move my funds elsewhere  Grin. They're however good at getting me available stocks, and their charges are cheaper. So I use them only for my medium to long term moves.

If you keep looking back and regretting, you go soon find yourself on Aktopgun or blueband's couch doing the infamous counselling sessions o! If you sell a stock shortly before it starts rising, then buy another one na. You simply just learn your lesson and move on. That's how we get better and better at this game each day.

What were your objectives for getting the stocks in the first place?

UTC closed at 8.25 today, and from the looks of things will likely gain max points tomorrow. So hold on and sell at the end of this week if you don't like it.

CI leasing, hold for a few more weeks, it would cross your cost price and you can sell if you don't like it.

Niwicable I think is experience temporary turbulence that I believe won't last long. From the looks of things though, it will most likely fall tomorrow. But it will pick up again very strongly after profit takers finish their song and dance routine.

The alternative is to sell the stocks at a loss, which is neither necessary nor optimal.

This your broker na your enemy?

Some of these stocks na the price wey guys dey look to offload.Now I know why someone bought my Oasis at over 6 naira.Dependng on your plans-13 naira for NIWI does not look like a CICO to me.Na medium term be that.But who knows,the NSE is unpredictable.Hold on to these stocks for now.Make sure you always set buy limits,ALWAYS!

Deap Capital full ground.Ask your broker to get it for you tomorrow if you are keen on it.It is on offer right now.But it is a risky buy because they fit come list the extra 500 million shares them dash people recently and profit takers to come set in.Na long term for me and I am banking on their PO to use up my rights.It's a company I believe in though.
