@FATHEROF2,

HOW You DEY? ANY THOUGHTS FOR D WEEK? NA SIDDON LOOK PERSON DEY O!

  I think you sent this on the 27th.

  Many companies pay their staff salaries before the month actually ends. I think that's what will be going on this week.
Some will be searching for where to put that salary anytime this week and next week. The new month is starting at the tail end of the week.
On the otherhand, looking at yesterday's transactions, e be like exception dey for 100k rule. i saw many sub 100k making price changes.It seems them don throway rule after two days of implementation. Market was looking dull and lethargic.

Father of 2,
Please, I want your candid opinion/advice.
Before I start, I must state it here that Pumping has warned me about CASHCRAFT but I didn't listen; that is now history.

This is my story, please I beg you, take your time and read it:
I took 3m loan from a bank by presenting some share certificates (not yet verified) and a list of stocks in my cscs account mostly banks' stocks(not consented by my stockbroker). The bank manager accepted them on personal recognition and for the fact that the sum value of the stock is over 200%  of what they are giving me as against 130% their offer letter asked for . Although, he informed me that the collaterals must be perfected before their year-end.

 Some time last month when Dangote SR announced their intention to give 1 to 5 bonus share and 50k dividend, I instructed my stock broker(Cashcraft) to sell my 20k units of UBA and buy 20k of DSR and add to 22k I have already in order to maximise my bonus and sell off immediately after the closure date. Unfortunately, my account officer in CashCraft erroneously put for sale 50k of UBA(which I didn't have up-to) and 50k of DSR as against 20k I instructed him. The next day, when my order was not purchased and my UBA was not sold, he called me and tried to explain that the mistake was why the transactions were not carried out . I accepted it in good faith and him to amend and rebook.

Before then, I had sold some of my insurance stocks and asked Cascraft to buy Trancorp with the money realised. They sold my insurance but could not buy Transcorp then. When the price went up too high, I asked them cancel the order.

As at the week before, and that of Easter, nothing was done then i travelled. There in the village I didn't have access to the internet so i couldn't monitor my account. When I returned from my Easter break and accessed my account with CasCraft, I discovered that My account was seriously on huge debit. Behold CashCraft bought 50k of DSR for me at NGN47.5 on credit and debited my account without my consent. Secondly, they bought Transcorp at NGN4.4 after I had cancelled the order leaving my account with over 3m debt and NGN20,000+ interest within few days. When I confronted my account officer, he argued that I didn't cancel the Transcorp order(a lie from the pit of hell). I accepted it because there was no written evidence to prove my case. As for the DSR, he has no cover for that and then offer to sell it off at NGN38+ after the marked down. But then i considered the fact that if he goes ahead to sell the DSR, I would lose over NGN400k, I asked him not to sell believing that the price will appreciate so that I will reduce the loss, hence the waiting game commenced.

Last week my Banker drew my attention to their end-of-year therefore the perfection of the collateral becomes imperative/imminent. He wanted me to sign a document for the placing on lien my stock(banks') with my stockbroker. I asked him to hold on knowing fully well that CashCraft would like to recover their 'imposed loan' and all their interests first before looking at the request of the bank. Which means that they will sell NOW and believe me, with the current bearish reality in NSE, I will be badly hit(losing over a million, charges, interest and time not included) if that happens. On the other hand, If I posit obstinately and refused to sell, I would have committed amorality suicide for betraying the trust of my banker friend.

The above is my story: a man in a dilemma; between the devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
NOW, WHAT DO I DO?
I want you to advise me as you would do to a friend and also as a professional in the field. God bless you.

Woow, this may be a little late. Don't know much about this Cashcraft people,but i think someone who has had a relationship with them (pumping) has already given you a suggestion.My only problem with that is just the lack of evidence to prove that you indeed tried to cancel the DSR order.He could also deny this.But follow it up.
In trying to get Cashcraft to reverse this order, since it seems the whole thing was done by word of mouth from both sides(you and account officer),i think you can as well deny to your account officer that you never issued any buy order for DSR. If he says you did, let him prove it.
If you're sure your account officer will have no evidence to prove that you instructed him to ever try to buy any DSR (whether 20k oh or 50k) i think you can get  a lawyer to execute.
Very sorry about this predicament of yours. I guess the bank should be either Diamond or FCMB.
It very important to maintain a good relationship with your banker friend. This is just a bad timing for you, but i think you should have sold off to settle with the bank.
I'll advice you be strong over this issue, like they say " WHAT WILL NOT KILL YOU WILL ONLY MAKE YOU STRONGER". It underscores why you need to maintain the friendship with your bank because when you're stronger, you may still need them.
On another note also. INTERNET OR NO INTERNET. Try and get registered with CSCS tradealert. At least there must be GSM in the village. I know one of the services offered by CSCS through its tradealert is to inform/alert investors of unauthorised transactions so they can quickly reverse the orders once they are alerted.You can start immediately on this, you can't be sure a thing like this will not repeat itself.

It is great to see you back online. make u no let work keep you away too much from d thread.

The 100K rule is funny. I can't seem to get anyone  broker to explain how it works. On broker told me that they will still make their cash and infact more with this new rule although he said one should keep away from fundamentaless stocks.

The lethargic mood of the market is an understatement. But to think that some peole still dey make serious cash,

How u see eterna? Their result no good although they give a bonus. Never hopped on that train though.

Try to get in tough with your broker so he can give the information required i.e. Broker code, Investor code and Clearing house number.

You can then log in to CSCS and register online for the trade alert.

Alternatively someone said you could call directly and give them d info and it will be activated.

 Hahhahahahha, Eterna is a funny one. I never expected bonus on Eterna,but i know say loss will come. I'm as guilty as the brokers for the touch and Go i did on Eterna twice this year.Lets see how it goes from tomorrow though. Can't touch Eterna at its current level.
Fidelity looks better for me, its on recovery. Just hope they don't suck out all the juice before Q3.

When there is a will, there is a way. SEC will make another rule to counter the loophole around this current rule.

I just wanted to quickly commend FatherOF2 on his constant loyalty to this forum.I've been viewing this forum for a few months now and have learn' so much from it.I realised only recently why activity has slowed down on it.

Even though i don't agree with what Seun did,i do beleive a lot in loyalty.And loyalty is not known until it's tested.the lesson i have learn't the most so far though is to ensure that if you are in a venture that can be replicated by another person,you have to constantly be at the cutting edge.

Seun,i beleive in your vision and i know that you made mistakes,but i can see you shine again.I want you to realise that i do not blame ANY of the guys that moved on to another site (because we are all human beings),but i know you can dream again!.

People (i inclusive) can take your coat of many colours,but your dream can't be taken.

Seun,FatherOF2 et all,keep the fire burning and i hope this month of May shall be profitable to us all.

If you remember well. I was made a challenge to it sometime ago. Its good alright. But its skews your perspective in looking at the real direction of where a stock is heading.
When a profittaker attacks today, candle will tell you by close of the day, and many will react next day. But that may not be the true picture.
Its like embarking on a journey.You may have a blown tyre or something,but you'll still change it and make your way to your destination.
For me overtime, i have averaged short term to between 0-3months(sometimes a little more or less), within this time, a good stock must act. That is short term. But the wan when traffic light go dey change from red to green to yellow daily, that na ULTRA ULTRA SHORT TERM. I think i prefer to sleep well on a daily basis.At best if you want to have a view of stock, give it like 2weeks to understand its behaviour particularly if you were well positioned from the start.
