One great way to build wealth and enjoy a stable financial status is through investing, investing in bonds, treasury securities, managed funds, properties etc investment remains a necessity and important.

Often, what to do to make money remains the question but after we have made the money the hassle of what to do with it sets, as all understood the need for a secure future, but often many seems to make the wrong turns when cut up in the cross-road of what to do with our money. Broad way out of this cross-road seems to deposit all or most of it into financial institution believing it saves them of needless spending.

Nice one, I was expecting the technical aspect. As at today 90% of my investment are in stocks and I can assure you that if you are not greedy you would make cool cash without stress from stock.

In picking the stocks to buy, you either look at one of this two or both of them
1. The company fundamentals - performance of the company.
2. Technical analysis - movement in prices.

Thanks.

so true, my mrpally, but why do you thing most Nigeria overlook this aspect of investing?

Hmmmm, most people do not invest in stock due to so many reasons some of which are
1. Lack of information and education about the stock market
2. Lack of full control of your investment.
3. The level of risk is very high, note that the higher the risk, the higher the returns
4. Lack of savings and investment culture.

Etc.
