I think those figures may just have been hyper-inflated. I mean come on, over $120m appreciation in less than one month?
One has to see the sheets to be certain, not that they will show anyone.

Regardless though , Tony Elumelu has always been a shrewd business man.

Tony, I can do nothing but thank you.

As an undergraduate, I bought 10000 units of transcorp shares with money borrowed from my mum. To my consternation, it falls from 7.5naira to 0.5naira in leads than 18 months! And it took a while to pay back the loan.

Lesson learned? Stocks investing is for the long-termed for average people.

You are indeed right.

But do kindly check my post again. I said average people.

In support of the above, I believed you know International Breweries? About three years or thereabout ago, their shares hovers below 1naira. Now it is above 20naira. I just thank my intuition that I bought over 100k units then. And I can remember some investment managers telling me not waste my money.

Information, they say, is vital in the long run.

Oga, they gave the practical reasons for the surge, did you read the story? If that private power generation project does well, that stock is on its way to over N100 per share.

You lack investment and entrepreneurial gutsy. You panicked and sold your Transcorp shares at N1.50k as a result of (paper) loss. Investors are not supposed to panic especially when shares go below purchase price, when you do, your loss actually crystallises. It is paper loss when you still hold your shares in view of future appreciation. This is exactly what happened in this case.

Anyway, Transcorp has skyrocketed and is not even available in the market for purchase. This is a result of the Power contract they got from PHCN privatisation by the Federal Government. They have bought the Ughelli power plant and there is now huge potential for profitability for the company in the coming years.

Learn from your mistakes and don't rant like a clueless toddler.

Elumelu made his fortune by acquiring a small, struggling Nigerian commercial bank and building it into the United Bank of Africa Group, a leading financial services institution with operations in several African countries as well as in New York and London. He stepped down as the bank’s CEO in 2010 to focus on investing in African businesses through his private investment vehicle, Heirs Holdings and to groom Africa’s next generation of business leaders through his Tony Elumelu Foundation.

Which "small, stuggling Nigerian commercial bank" did Tony Elumelu "acquire and build into UBA"? As I understand it, UBA was existing before Tony Elumelu was born, and Tony came from Standard Trust Bank, which UBA acquired while Hakeem Bello Osagie was MD at UBA. Tony Elumelu was among bank MDs that helped govt officials steal and launder Nigeria's commonwealth. Tony Elumelu was also involved in Massive money laundering scheme with UBA, New York, see this; http://saharareporters.com/interview/uba-new-york-branch-money-laundering-haven.
Tony Elumelu's brother, Ndudili Elumelu was the house of reps member involved in reaping off multi-billion naira of Nigeria's commonwealth. Have we all forgetten all these so soon, that we now hail Tony Elumelu as a genius!

Me a paid agent? I can’t stop laughing. You have no idea what I have been through. I got wiped out of millions of Naira on Oceanic Bank (peanuts given as Ecobank shares) and lost all on Bank PHB. When you invest and lose learn to take your loss and not come crying in a public forum like a baby. If Transcorp was selling for N100 today would you come and tell us how much you are worth?

I never bought Transcorp anyway because I didn’t see potential from the onset, but now with the Power Sector contract, I bet there is light at the end of the tunnel. The power sector looks like the next Telecoms sector.
