Good evening house,
please can anyone confirm if the MPC will be meeting next week, and also when the NBS is likely to release April's inflation figures. I pray the former happens before the latter, because I don't want any funny change from the status quo yet as far as rates are concerned. Let the rates remain high for several quarters to come.
As a concerned citizen, and as one who thinks constantly about the economic well being of this nation, I often get worried when I see that our debt service cost is in excess of 60% of government revenue. But then I understand that even if it's only 10%, with the persistent leadership problems, 70% of the remaining 90% will be mismanaged, and so there may not be any significant headway. So I'd rather have the rates remain high since that's a sure way of giving more peeps little bites from the national cake. Whatever downside that has will eventually sort itself.
Splendid night to everyone.
lool, guy man. I may be wrong but I have found out that from May -July is actually the best time to lock down on a year tenor. My reason is because;
Our Budget usually takes a whole lot of time to get approved by the senate, this has been happening now for years. Budget approvals usually starts from May most of the times, and when it gets approve, it then incites the federal government to move into action by implementing it, thus requiring consistent borrowing.
To me, Months like December or January are not good times to lock down for funds for 364days because the economic activity is always low at those time.
For me May June July is always the best of time to lock down on funds, simply because of the delay in Budget Approval, kapish.....Other factors too play a role, inflation, MPR ratio but that's my opinion tho

I just sent you a mail.

please I will need your help on bitcoin mining /investment.


I have a source of getting dollars

Hello, i once was of the opinion T Bills being short term debts was really nice for an average age enterpreneur as a less risky asset in a portfolio. Then Crypto currency BTC to be precise , i saw the bullish potential, benefits, also the arbitrage in currency with pricing of bitcoins. Then i took it upon myself to patch up my cash flow with a depreciatiing naira and scarce forex in Nigeria. Had to take a break from real Merchandising, boy, the returns is what i call black gold. For the average mind then it was just another commodity being peddled. For me then, it was analysis of diff exchanges and currencies.

My point, don't dwell on the conventional way of investment, only if the time just isn't there,
I urge those with a bit of descipline in finance, Economics or software engineering to think crypto with there money and mind then experience feeling young and hungry again.
Today for those who have the time, dabble into crypto currency, a little high blood pressure makes u feel younger and ambitious. Especially when it rewards you weekly and monthly.

Its what i can categorically call an Asset class, with minimal risk to your overall portfolio.Not some Ponzi or a failed technology being shoved down our throats. But a piece of future technological architecture that will shape life to to come

Hello house , I need some clarification here.. I walked into FBN was was given 18% for 42 days and as well 18% for 365. The percentage didn't make much difference.
Wich is better is it short term investment or long term.?
Assuming I do short period and reinvest over and over.

Assuming I invest 7m how much is the interest for both.

The tenure thing is confusing and bankers won't help at all. She just said I should take a decision.

Thanks all.

7m at 18% for 365 will give about 1,260,000.

I need more enlightenment on this timing you mentioned o.

One good thing about T-bills is even if there's no more budgetary provisions for new borrowings, the CBN is bound to always issue T-bills, basically cos, they'll always need the new funds to settle maturing debts.

As far as rates are concerned, what I fear even more than a slowdown in economic activities are the MPC's decisions.
If the CBN maintains its stance to give money market investors positive real returns, I think we may currently be having one of the longest periods of high rates in our history, because this period, which is now nearing about 12 months may continue for another 24-36 months. I feel the economy would need at least that much time to get inflation figures below 12%. The only fear now is if the CBN decides to no longer be particular about giving us positive real returns.

Is the same rate so, the profit won't be different. but for 365days you get your profits in bulk and can reinvest it again.

For 4 2 days the profit will come in bit but you have the advantage of not tie in down the capital for long and can be able to reinvest in a more profitable business if opportunity come knocking.

Interest = principal x rate x tenor. Assuming a rate of 13.5% for 91 days.
Your interest will be 5000 X 13.5 X 91/36.5 = N168,287.67 naira

Thanks a lot

You never know Diamond bank infact they fit tell you later say na stamp duty. The worst bank to use for TB investment among all the banks I have used. I had to go and close the 2 accounts I operate with them early this week.

I also Bank with Diamond. When I wanted to do TB, I went to several banks(it's my money and as a business man I should invest with banks that would give me maximum profit)

I read here earlier on that Stanbic IBTC bank had the best rate for TB(b4 now, I never even knew Stanbic was a bank lol) , I went to their branch and compared TB rates for that day and believe you me, the guy that posted earlier did not lie.... The difference is clear.

I sharply opened an account and got 17.4% for 182 days.

My advice to interested TB investors, run away from Diamond, even First Bank is better.

Although Diamond Bank has an HIDA account worth 5%p.a for 1million and above(the advantage? you can get your money any time).

My broda, EcoBank is the world's most useless bank, i relied on them for years with their Fixed deposits not knowing they were the reason why my body and bank account was losing weight.

I lost over 500K in interests and when i discovered TB and other investments last year i initiated a tsunami in my bank account.

To make it worse, the banking officer indirectly refused i withdraw my money in the name of trying to persuade me to stay with them.

I told the banking officer clearly, even if you give me ur puna on top make i continue with una, i wont try it. Up till today my balance with them is only N1200.

Please do you know how i can withdraw that remaining N1200, i tried withdrawing it at the ATM since the last six months but keep getting insufficient balance?







Lol

I opened an EcoBank account during NYC because we were mandated to by our LI.
The account seized to exist after NYC.

I haven't heard/know anything good about that bank, back then their minimum balance was 1,500.

Sometimes I get account info of less than 500, seems they are still diducting charges on a dormant account. Nothing person no go see for Nigeria

Are you saying if the rates are same for different tenors, the interest would be same keeping principal constant?

Simply put, your profit in percentage is the same regardless. However, your actual profit in Naira is a function of your principal and tenor; the higher you invest the higher your absolute profit.

Investing 7M at 18% for 42 days will give you an interest of 145,384.62

You are wrong. There's a huge difference in the interest. The tenure matters

With the same principal, 18% for 42 days and 18% for 364 days can never produce the same interest

I have found it difficult to even differentiate between Primary and Secondary bidding since the beginning of the new policy of no #50.1M, no Primary purchase of TB.

As a result of this, I have deleted Primary medium of buying TB from my investment strategies. I now buy all my TB from Secondary market at a reasonable rate over the maximum tenor available. This favours time value for money, it prevents temptation of diverting your upfront into an unproductive use, it releases high dose of dopamine into your brain and makes you happy.

One of my TB got matured today. Got full liquidation credit bank alert around 12:50pm.I Just worked into my bank around 1:30pm requesting for what rates and tenor they had. The beautiful young lady looked into the Monitor in front of her and told me, with smiles, all they had. She said; " Sir, we have 28days for 18% and 308days for 18.6% minimum and maximum tenor respectively".

I opted for 304days/18.6% since I am a fan of longer tenure/tenor with a view to having more true yield. I got debited around 3:02pm and got credited by 4:00pm , capital and upfront respectively.

Summarily, stop wasting your time in chasing TB purchase through Primary market especially if you don't have #50.01M. Secondary market is available everyday. Just approach your bank. I'm sure, you will be guided accordingly.

Cheers!
