timothy001: How about my other questions Above?

well when buying stocks people buy from IPOs (initial public offers) if you can remember 2006 -2007 was the crazy years of IPOs in nigeria......but since no IPO is out for now which i wont advice anyone to buy.......because buying IPOs is the way a poorly informed man trades stock.

The next way one can buy stocks is through OTC (over the counter) which is the best method for now depending on how quick your broker can get you the stocks you want.

So the only delay i can see here is how quick your broker can get you out and in which is relative to your brokers timing...If you meet a broker thats fast in doing business than you are lucky but a slower one hmmmmmmmmmmm lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

Then the last factor is greed and fear.......if the stock is going up greed will get you a buyer so fast when you want to sell but if the stock is falling fear wont let a buyer touch it even with a long stick....... grin grin grin grin grin grin

so you have your questions answered sir

Thanks Sir,So that means I Cannot sale it until someone else want to buy?? What if it's takes 2 weeks to get a buyer and the stuck market has gone down by then.that means i lose right?

So assuming the Transcorp that went up last week Anyone who is not able to get a buyer cannot sell?

yes you cannot sell it until someone wants to buy.......if it takes forever to get a buyer thats when you can sell and at that forever prize.... grin grin grin grin grin grin

well for transcorp they will surely get buyers becos what they do is put a hot news on the news tab.....make it visible as much as possible........let it hit front pages of newspapers.....and greed will set in becos everyone loves a success story.....and like a magic wand people starts fight for the stock.....greed in play..... grin grin grin grin grin grin while they know the party is over and want to off load their huge quantities grin grin grin grin

Thanks a lot for this info. Does it also mean that the volume to be sold should be the same as volume to be bought?
As for the Transcorp stuff, you've been right all along.

I have not seen it yet, I am sure it's similar to the original Wall Street (Michael Douglas) movie...where he makes the infamous statement "Greed is Good."
