I Need Advice On How To Start Dealing In Stocks

gochi,

My broker said that continsure shares are scarce. Which other penny stocks can you recommend for a short term.

If you want a stock broker where you can see your portfolio online, go to  www.cashcraft.com.  I have been using them for my UK clients for 2 years.

What services are you offering UK clients?

Cashcraft is useless from my own experience, they have a fancy site but zero customer services.

Will U Take My Word?


See This Short Term (Sure Banker ):

Ecobank ( Will Double Yo Money In A Year)


These Coys Are Down Now. (Meet Them In Their Low Times. They'd Be In The 100.00s range in 2 years)


Nigerian Breweries Plc
Cadbury Plc


Long Term

BOC Gases
Standard Insurance Plc

IF U Have The Bucks Now

AP Plc.


Odd Eh? But Bet Me On These. Don't Ask Me How I Know.  .

U Asked For My Opinion. Its Free of Charge.

@ Gochi,
   please, how can i register on the NSE website so that i can view daily summary and reports?

yes its likely that Ecobank Will Double Yo Money In A Year.

Also some insurance stocks are scarce now but i'm expecting some of them to be available soon. As soon as I get a pick i'll let u know.

If u have 50k to invest in stocks that's cool (but not soooooo cool). But you can start from their but if u want to grow with that kind of investment then u have to not be the GUY WHO WANTS TO GET RICH QUICK. I mean u have to have a strategy.

Like someone said, you dont need to go to HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL to learn the stock game. Even a 13 yr old can trade on stocks and be wealthy.

If the Nigerian stock market doesnt get saturated by the time my son is 13 i'll make sure that when he's 16 he'll be a MULTI only by trading stocks.

ok Here's another piece of information. For daily quotes of stock prices goto www.cscsnigeria.com, you'll find top gainers and top loosers. Remember that the NSE trades only from 10 AM - 2 PM MON - FRI

For a more concrete stock report goto www.punchng.com, scroll down by the right pane and download the daily stock report. Its a word document, it is very explicit.

Also there are software tools that aid in my analysis too.

Yes bank stocks are going down, bu they will still rize. but more potential are in the bank shares bellow 15-10 naira.

As for your stock broker, it's possible that he's not doing his job, but its also possible that there may not be available buyers for the shares u want him to sell or the company doesnt appear frequently on the market. so it may not be his fault - but a good stock broker should tell his clients the situation.

As for footwear visit www.punchng.com and download the days trading summary. you'll find something similar (not exactly) to this about footwear:
 
LClose   Open   High   Low   Close   Change   Trades   Volume   Value
0.67    0.70     0.70     0.70      0.70         0.03     1     35,000    24,500.00

Analysis: look at their volumes are not so high so u can possibly buy larger than 35,000 (that's if up to that is available for sale on that day). but if u can deposit funds with your stock broker and give him a mandate to buy as soon as a reasonable volume is available. I see potential in them. That's all i can say for now. I'll make my own analysis and find out about the company.

that is if Evergie can aford to wait for a year.

A good short term investment for now could be zenith bank, their year end is just around the corner and price of zenith would kjeep rising till then.

A good medium term is Dangote sugar notminding the present drop in price. Year end is Dec.

@izidor
well like i explained earlier, availability of the share also matters. Dont be so FAST! First things first. First get a broker and open an account with him, secondly deposit funds into your broker's account, then start watching the stocks with him, tell him the stocks u want to buy so he can start checking each day for its availability. (note: your stock broker may not be the rep of his broking firm on the NSE floor) it may be someone else in the firm. But once that person is on the floor not even his fellow broker outside the floor can contact him. So any communication must be done before and after trading, the brokers outside the floor do not even know the floor price fluctuations which makes for a better purchasing decision. Only the broker on the floor can do this. Dont be scared; when u make a decision, just tell your broker and he'll communicate to the person who will go to the floor before trading commences.

Even when u deposit your 1m, the volume of stock available may not be up to what 1m can buy, in other words u'll still have change, so your broker can make another choice for you or u make your own choice of another share. so for your 1m to get exhausted buying shares, it depends on availability of that share on the floor.

Soon i will be able to provide some facts such as charts and graphs for users of nairaland to be able to analyze previous performances and follow trends so they can make good judgements.


As for FOOTWEAR, i made my research: for now they are not very good to buy considering that there are government policies that do not encourage the growth of the shoe industry.

JUST TRY THIS: Go to your office or your house or anywhere and count the number of people wearing made in Nigerian Shoes.   See what i mean.  So until there are government policies to barn imported shoes, then the shoe industry is good to look at.

Try COSTUDYINS, they may still be available, also try STACO. These are gainers for insurance sector and will be for a while. Go for STACO before it becomes scarce.

For BAnking sector: here's my analysis for diamond bank from 4th june (13.62) - 2nd july(20.92): they grew about 54% in 1month. And the speculation is that they'll grow upto 100% by Dec. so if u can put some of your 1m into this.

 I have found www.investordelight.com to be very useful in keeping track of my shares and net worth. Before using the tool, I had many of the same problems you guys are talking about.  The truth is that the brokers don't offer customer service.  It's just a bunch of people trying to do all things and they end up suckin at customer service. 

At some point I developed a spreadsheet to keep track but I just use the investordelight tools now.  The site is updated daily with market closing prices and I receive email alerts thereafter. It also lets me trrack how much I part with in broker fees.

I discovered that it is possible to obtain the day’s trading summary analysis which Gochi referred to from the site. It’s in a section called "WATCHLIST" which allows you monitor stocks you are interested in and it shows you the day’s trading for each stock you add to your watchlist.  I also get my watchlist emailed to me daily, etc.

Hi,friend,I presently work in a Capital market,please and please it is not adviceabloe to keep your stock certificates at home at all,either you want to trade with it or for keep.But I would even rather advice you to trade with it due to a lot of factors which I would be ready to explain to you if you can contact me throuh my email address.
