The ones I dont know are left blank.     As to time of going in, I generally go in 5months before year end for stocks that I know will go up.  For those I am not sure, I wait for second quarter result.   I also have previous year's high, like First Bank went up N72.76 (2006).  Go to www.firstglobalselect.com (click on Nigeria, and click on "complete list") to see graphic chart covering six months.  You can share knowledge with me at  Naijaforward@yahoo.com
