Not to scare you but the rule is invest money you can afford to let go.

What is your investment goal: short, medium or long term?

You can decide to split the money into 3: buy bank, Food n insurance shares. Or put all your eggs in one basket. But let's hear from you about the terms.

Cheers.

Ejiekwu 1: @stockbull, well done for †нє Analysis. Now that GEJ has pass †нє Budget into law ΨђåƮ effect will it have on †нє stock market

Budget ke? Reminds me of 2008, it was hard to believe we were hit by the financial crisis. Industry watchers attributed it to non-passage of budget, then plenty stories.

My Brother, that market most times no dey shake with budget or policy making.

Am going in for more Oando or more transcorp please advice

sellydion: in forex you can lose all almost all the time. In stock hardly can you lose all you can still maintain your stake( dividen , bonus etc) in a company despite price fluctuations in the market.

Where is Bank PHB, Afribank shares?

Josh121: Am going in for more Oando or more transcorp please advice

The investor is the best broker. If you strongly believe in these shares go for them but remember transcorp company structure. It is made up of mafias with lofty ideas. Speculations just dragging moving it north. Soon breeze go blow (before end of March). Jump in and be careful to jump out even with 20% profit.

Oga stockbull make we hear you for Oando with mirage future.

@Docjuli,I am guessing the out for the out come of the meeting by march , I see a positive move with the new development , Transcorp Consortium wins bid for the acquisition of Ughelli Power Plant, I believe that is what is pushing their share. Please is anyone as a better word say , I am saying this with my research am not an expert

i advice ppl go for c and i leasing plc.

You guys have started again!!! We seem not to have taken lessons from the past capital market crash.

People, let me sound a warning, make sure you don't invest in stocks blindly. Most stockbrokers and asset managers exercise a lot of bias in their "buy" judgment. Here are a few simple checks you can do to make sure you don't go wrong or at least minimize your losses.

1. Diversify your portfolio. Do not concentrate your investments in companies playing in the same industry. Banks and insurance companies are very sensitive to regulations. Buy a few of them and mix your portfolio with stocks from other sectors of the economy. You can also invest in government bonds as an assurance that your possible losses from stocks would be offset a bit, if not totally from the returns on your bonds.

2. Before you invest in any company, get some information about their management and their track records - who are the top managers and board of directors. It is important. For example, wherever you see names like Jimoh Ibrahim, MDs of the failed Banks etc, its a red flag, run with your money.

3. Get some information about the industry in which the company is playing in. You need to be sure that the industry has potential for growth and there are actual opportunities there. Stocks' values are market opinions about their future earnings (Stock price reflects investors opinion - discounted value of future cash flows/earnings). Don't invest in companies who play in industries where growth has peaked except the company is the top player or ranks 1 - 3 in that industry. This is because when competition becomes fierce, those are the likely survivors.

4. The fourth check is what you should expect your broker or financial adviser to do for you. That is the technical analysis of the stock/company. But don't follow them blindly. A lot of their opinions are biased as past events have shown. Always check their advice with your conclusions on the three things above.

Finally, nobody can boast that they will continually outperform the market. Ironically, 80% of brokers believe they are the smartest but in reality, judging from past events, that is not true. There is risk in every investment decision you take. So, taking the above steps would not eliminate your risks but it would at least help you minimize your losses if the risks crystallize.

Good luck!

Excessive diversification is a protection against ignorance. If you know ur stuff, trust me you rather concentrate, consolidate and position in a single value stock than diversify.

Visit any branch of FCMB nationwide and tell them you are interested in T-Bills or FGN Bond. Whoever they direct you to in the bank, ask question about tenure, coupon rate and date of maturity and other questions you my have about the securities you intend to invest in.
Goodluck.

THANK'S AND TELL ME THE ONE YOU ARE INTO.

ihedioramma: THANK'S AND TELL ME THE ONE YOU ARE INTO.

I believe 9free's advice is ok. Check with your broker for FGN and some state government bonds. Have a medium to long term investment approach. Bonds don't give reasonable short term returns but the returns are guaranteed and risk free - pretty safe.

I'm not in the country at the moment and have not been following Nigerian financial markets lately.

The part in bold is the problem. Many brokers think they know their stuffs. Ask any of them today, they'll boast that they can continually outperform the market and that is not true. That is why many brokers led investors astray in 2008/2009. No one can continually outperform the market, else the market becomes inefficient. Check people's testimony here:

pls when is oando going to send their rights issue to our cscs account so it can be traded. Their rights issue closed wed 20th feb. anyone with info pls?

stockbull: If you are investor in the Nigeria stock market and you are active investor , follow this thread as I will be posting stocks that would make significant gains and the time limit based on my perspective.

DISCLAIMER
YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TRUSTED INVESTING COUNSELLOR OR YOUR BROKER BEFORE YOU INVEST IN MY RECOMMENDED STOCKS AS YOU KNOW STOCKS RESPOND TO NEWS AND NO ONE CAN PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ANY STOCK IN THE NEXT DAY AND THE FUTURE DECISION OF ANY COMPANY 'S MANAGEMENT

very interesting! I will soon narrate myself
