Best performing stocks would depend on if you are a long term or short term investor.
For me, long term investmesnts are ok, but cannot be compared in anyway with day trading.

Peeps, you guys sound like you are so scared of risk.Only risk takers make big bucks.
I wouldn't buy most of the bank shares mentioned here. Zenith appreciated about 250% in over 2years.That don't sound like the best investment to me, except for big players buying in multiple millions.

Penny stocks actually perform much greater.
Look at these:
           February 19th 2007 PERIOD   June 05 2007       % Increase
Afroil:                  0.42                              8.75                    2080%
Costain:              2:12                              21.90                  1033%
Livestock feeds:  0.96                              7.45                      776%


All these results are in a period of 4 months . Compare to banking or any other major stocks.

Zenith                 32.90                           59.03                  Less than 100%( although with good potentials)
First Bank            41.90                           40.40                   Negative
GTB                      27.16                           31.00                     Barely 10%
PHB                       5.43                            27.69                 The only great performer

My advice:
Observe the markets PROPERLY and look beyond Banking!!

NB
The percentage calculations are not perfect but are close.

nice one papabrowne,its always easier for penny stock to rise over 300% in a short period than the big stocks.

@allcorrect
what do u mean by doing well only on papers?

@papabrowne, i kind of like your analysis. i was about investing a great sum in first bank public offer. i think i will just buy small sha, and also invset in some low priced stock,

what do you think? please reply

@allcorrect
thanks

@joey22
ist bank is a good buy because its going below its market level, but remember u have to wait for long b/for you can make anything.
buy first bank if u can wait,u will be smiling later

@papbrowne

Let me politely correct one impression, those stocks that you call penny stocks and say have performed better is noy completely true. The reason they are like that is becase some powerful foreign investors bought into them and moreover u can't even get them to buy or do u have ani of those stocks in your portfolio. The fundamentals are not even veri sound. You can  check their EPS and PE ratios, u will see.

A stock like PHB is not performing as u have said they did a wicked share reconstruction on 1 for 3 so what do u expect. FBN is still better than PHB ani day, or do u want to compare them with GT Bank or Zenith. Those banks have veri strong fundamentals PHB will even come and look for more money in the market, so whats the basis of your analysis.

I will advise anibodi buying to check the Gross earnings of ani company, EPS, PE ratio and check the risks involved in their business.Banks will always be it. If those investors in Costain should withdraw their money because of 1 govt policy what do u think will happen.

I think pips should invest in themselves first then in the market

My best stock is NEM insurance plc, Bought i at 1.20k on 06/04/07 and its 6naira now. Am disappointed with zenith because since their initial public offer 10.80k in 2004, av not recieved any bonus while almost all banks av given bonus since then. May and Baker is doing well. Bought at 4naira lost july and sold at 15naira two month ago.

For me i think my best stock so far has been GTB followed by Zenith Bank. My worst stock is the then STB which has now been converted to UBA. That merger was a nightmare to all UBA shareholders. Elumelu really cheated us out of the deal. God dey. For transcorp i am not giving up yet.i know it can still get good. Besides after what i experienced with STB (now UBA) i don't think anything else can be worse. So i keep my fingers crossed.

Are you sure there hasn't been a scrip issue? The current price alone wouldn't tell all the story without this info.

.

i want to invest on cheap stock that ll rise rapidly advice anyone?

my best stock so far are zenith ipo, fidelity ipo, wapco brought at 14 naira and ibtc brought at 4.50.  (still have all)


worst stock, union bank,nb. (which i have sold) and for transcorp i am still holding on too and watching

1006, whats wrong? ZENITH BANK just disappeared from the capital market. I was going through the trading report as at close of business on the floor  yesterday and noticed ZENITH was not there. What happened? Are they on technical suspension or something?

Tlhe best stock so far is FIRST BANK,ZENITH BANK AND OCEANIC BANK TOO.
JUST APRIL,OCEANIC SOLD OUT THEIR SHARES AT 16.50 AND NOW IT IS 23.50.JUST WITHIN A MONTH AND IT IS STILL GOING TO INCREASE WITH TIME.A BIG CONGRAT TO THOSE WHO INVESTED IN OCEANIC OOO

@tmoni
i still don't understand your calculations from 1000 to 100 000 thats money ritual ooooo please expantiate
