Hi All,

I really appreciate your contributions towards educating people on Financial (Stock) world. 

I gave a cheque of about N60,000 to my stock broker to buy equity assurance shares for me from the current market this was when it was still at N3.90k but he didn't do that until two/three weeks later when the price rose up to N5.28k.  I have noticed that my stock brokers always buy higher than the price in the newspapers anytime I gave him money to buy stocks for me.

I just want to know if this is right or is he cheating me or something by buying at higher price

THIS

I am new to stock trading.

Recently, I registered for CSCS but my surname was spelt wrongly in the sms sent to my phone with the Acct. No.

What can I do to change that? or should I register for another CSCS account?

I need help urgently. Please.

@ johnnny, all u need to do is to call their attention to the error and they will make necessary correction immediately.

Stage One
Stage 1 is the stage right after a prolonged downtrend. This stock has been going down but now it is starting to trade sideways forming a base. The sellers who once had the upper hand are now beginning to lose their power because of the buyers starting to get more aggressive. The stock just drifts sideways without a clear trend. Everyone hates this stock!
Stage Two
Finally stocks break out into Stage 2 and begins the uptrend. Oh, the glory of stage 2!! Sometimes I have dreams of stocks in Stage 2! This is where the majority of the money is made in the stock market. But here is the funny thing: No one believes the rally! That’s right, everyone still hates the stock. The fundamentals are bad, the outlook is negative, etc. But professional traders know better. They are accumulating shares and getting ready to dump it off to those getting in late. This sets up stage 3.
Stage Three
Finally, after the glorious advance of stage 2, the stock begins to trade sideways again and starts to "churn". Novice traders are just now getting in! This stage is very similar to stage 1. Buyers and sellers move into equilibrium again and the stock just drifts along. It is now ready to begin the next stage.
Stage Four
This is the dreaded downtrend for those that are long this stock. But, you know what the funny thing is? You guessed it. Nobody believes the downtrend! The fundamentals are probably still very good and everyone still loves this stock. They think the downtrend is just a “correction”. Wrong! They hold and hold and hold, hoping it will reverse back up again. They probably bought at the end of Stage 2 or during Stage 3. Sorry, you lose. Checkmate!
Here is an example:

Stock market stages occur in all time frames on every chart you look at. This could be a five minute chart of Microsoft or a weekly chart of the Dow.
Generally, you want to stay in cash when a stock (or the market itself) is chopping around in a stage one. In stage two you will want to be aggressively focusing on long positions. In stage three you want to be in cash. In stage four you want to be aggressively focusing on short positions

TRADING STOCK TRENDS
Why You Should Trade Trending Stocks
To consistently make money in the stock market, you only want trade stock trends! But what are the characteristics that make up a trend? I thought you would never ask.
Remember when we talked about stock market stages?
Well Stage 2 is an uptrend that is characterized by a series of higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL).
Stage 4 is a downtrend that is characterized by a series of lower highs (LH) and lower lows (LL).
This creates a series of peaks and troughs on the chart that you can trade successfully.
Below is the the beautiful anatomy of stock trends:

   Like what the former speakers said, that 50k that you see branded in front of the offer is the listing price of any stock .i.e all stocks have a par value of 50k. Then due to market forces, (demand and supplies) it would now have the value printed on it. Each country has different lising or entry price e.g UK 25p.
   Secondly, companies offer discount to their offer when having a public offer. This is done to attract patronage.

There is already a tread for this discussion. Please let maintain a tread.
