Godisfaithful:


Sir, Access for now. I will look into UBA after the price is already marked down for dividend qualifications

manie:



It is very rare to turn N50,000 to N500 million within 10 years, except if you build your own company and then have an IPO using inflated valuation methods to scam gullible investors.

N50,000 that gives a consitent return of 100% for 10 years will give roughly N50 million and this type of return is not sustainable for 5 years talkless of 10 years.

EDUECO:
From1998 to 2014 Full Financial Year,FBNH has never paid less than 60Kobo in dividend except when bonus was included(for example,2014 Financial Year)! May be less than 60 Kobo would be declared as dividend this year.

angelo82:


UBA might end up the leader of that group and note they might release a good Q1 2016 result too.

bigjay01:
We continue to buy FBNH on the dip!

5 Trading Proverbs You Can Use

Like the people who drive it, markets can sometimes appear to act irrationally. As the economist John Maynard Keynes said, "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

Many trading advice expressions have been coined to describe the dynamics of stock prices to remind us how to avoid traps and seize opportunities. Below, we've shared some of the most common maxims traders have used for decades to reflect important insights into speculation of market movement.

"The Trend is Your Friend"

Some traders believe they need to be different in order to be smart or make money. The challenge is that the trend is reality. It represents the collective actions of all market participants.

When the broad market is heading higher or moving lower, so are most of the stocks in it. This creates momentum. Rather than bucking the trend, acknowledge the direction of the overall market trend and plan your trades accordingly.

"Don't Try to Catch a Falling Knife"

This saying applies to buying a stock falling sharply. Just as it is dangerous to try and catch a knife falling to the floor, it is risky to buy a stock selling-off. If your analysis indicates that now is a good time to buy it, you should. But, don't buy just because it is "on sale". We've all seen that item in the store that is marked down 10% and three weeks later is marked down 25% or more. Purchasing these "sale" items early on can put a dent in your trading account.

"Buy on the Rumor and Sell on the News"

This saying reminds us that rumor can drive a rally or a sell-off in a stock. People are speculating on the impact of what they have heard and this is getting baked into the stock's price. If the rumors are proven to be true, then much of the impact may already be reflected in the price. If the rumors aren't true, this can also impact the stock because those rumors were likely priced into the stock. In short, remember that stocks often move on speculation and then adjust when the news is official.

"Be Fearful when Others are Greedy and Greedy only When Others are Fearful"

There are long term uptrends and downtrends, but at a certain point the market pendulum will change direction. Timing is difficult, but it is worth paying attention to those times when a company can seemingly do no wrong or when a company can do nothing right. During these times, think like a contrarian and don't become complacent.

This expression is counter to the idea that 'the trend is your friend', but it is really more of a reminder that every trend will ultimately end and it often seems to happen just when it feels like it will go on forever.

"Bull Markets Climb a Wall of Worry"

This expression highlights how markets often trend in spite of how people are feeling. What keeps a market moving higher is that there are more buyers entering the market. The opposite is true when a market keeps moving lower. If you're waiting for everyone to agree on the market, you could be waiting for a long time. Markets can go up when people are still queasy and can fall apart during seemingly good times.

Conclusion

It is no accident that these sayings have endured. They capture something about how people relate to markets and how markets affect people. These sayings would be long forgotten if they did not speak to deep market truths. Keep them in mind.

Lets wait for their dividends and see it may rise

ExLaidback:


Yeah the problem is that now, we have FBN Holdings as distinct from First bank with different results and earnings. If companies from the group don't pay the holding company dividend, nothing for us. That's the ojoro they started using since last year. Otherwise we suppose chop better dividend this year. Just keeping my fingers crossed, majority of my stock holding is tied down there, they can't deal me blows both ways - tie down one's cash and still not pay good dividend. Baba God abeg o

NuttyChoky:


It is not speculation Ohhhh!!! It is commonsense...

If you have an uncle in the US today and he wants to send you 5,000 dollars to invest which option will you choose;

a) Western Union - the bank will convert and give you Naira equivalent at N197

b) Put in envelope and send through friend

The answer is clear...

@justineu: Self Education is the best way to become a good Equity/Stock Investor or Trader,it is more challenging than Medicine/Dentistry, Engineering,Pharmacy, Law,et cetera combined together because there is no Formal School where one can go to study Equity Investment! The real Equity Education begins the moment you start to buy and sell shares of companies. The first step in the Equity Education begins with learning the numerous terminologies. If you are tenacious and consistent in your Equity Education,in 2 to 3 years you would have learnt the fundamentals of Equity Investment! The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step(Chinese Proverb). Rule 1,don't lose money;rule 2,don't forget rule 1(Warren Buffett)!
