@ All,

Is anyone still sitting on insurance companies? I still have my Law & Union - was tempted to sell today at 31% but changed my mind? - It seems to have lost steam,

my sister am wit u o, am still holding on to srusader, i still dey beleive but hope to bail out by friday or next week friday

I have also been developing a spreadsheet for stock analysis and I don't think there will be much improvement again until new results are announced so I will share it with the house.

For those that have been asking for similar, you can modify it to suit yourself. You now have to continously update the sheet with new results; updated outstanding shares and new projected PAT if necessary.

If you find errors with number of outstanding shares or interim results please let me know. Also, if you have results that I have not included, please share with me too. These are all the current results I have been able to find.

I have had to remove all comments because  of identifiable information. How I arrived at the outstanding shares may have been clearer. Just note that I have made provision for shares to be listed in the future including provision for 25% oversubscription. You can adapt this to your own style.

@ yodiyokun

still got some Law Union left , will wait till friday , before making a decision about the trend.Whichever i think it has found its price range.

@Pumping 777

nice one ! as per da spreadsheet. U go pump millions , amen . And da whole house too !

pumping,
thx for the spreadsheet

I have been on the sideline for long reading and learning from your posts. As I no get anythingI go contribute na im I just say make i pay respect to all the gurus. You guys have really rekindled my hope in so many ways and , keep doing what you are doing.

We need all the contributions as long as they are made with genuine intentions.

@Pumping777

Great!! the spreadsheet is good.  More grease to your palm.

Like you aid individuals need to update it from time to keep it current.

For beginners, the spreadsheet is good, but like easimoni and a host of others have said, indulge in the study and understanding of basics, terminologies and basic interpretation of terms, investopedia.com can help a great deal.  Once this is done, verification of data, source of data and advise on grey arrears will only remain for guys to ask and this will make the thread really refreshing.

@All
Thanks for keeping this thing going, its really interesting.!!

I only use the spreadsheet to alert me of the need to further analyze any particular stock at a point in time. So I just want to advice that it will be counter-productive if you decide to pick a stock on the list simply because the PE is low. In particular it helps me to avoid buying expensive stocks except there is news that does not support the numbers.

I had two minds about sharing this spread sheet because it can make folks lazy but I don't believe in re-inventing the wheel. The idea of sharing is to help those that need the raw figures and maybe help with the format. I am sure many folks can come up with something much better.

Happy investing.

Hello guys! I am a newbie to stocks and shares and everytime I read the business thread, I see the topic "STOCK MARKET TIPS FOR NIGERIANS" The replies were too much that I find it difficult to figure where to start reading because I think it might help me. I started investing in shares last year. To me It's just as if i am depositing money to a fixed account. Please I need gurus here to help love-vendor me up. I will be looking forward to your reply.

@pumpiing,
Thanks , for the spreadsheet.

@Fatherof2,
Thanks a lot for asking us to be more open.
I got to this site August this year when i thought it was necessary to find another stream of income and choose the NSE.  However in the last few months there is less teaching and more speculation,

@Wanaj0,
I suppose call u Suru na so so ni suru, Well a big thank you to you too cos when you read Warren Buffet's idea its Fundamentals first. ROI next then invest, He has not really had a finger burnt, BUT am quicj to add for all reading He partnered with Charlie M, ? who said if you can predict conservatively where a coy should be from its published results and history you can then find overvalued stocks and undervalued ones and key in before it comes forth.


Summarily, I say have the following sectors in your portfolio
Banking sector--too many that i cant make suggestions except that Soludo had said 3 of them are on the margin and have asked on this thread which folks think those three are (I have Zenith and am eyeing PhB seriously cos they are favored in govt especially up north)
Manufacturing--
Maritime--Japaul
Insurance--Unic, Law union etc.
C&I-- visited their new office recently they have committed number cruchers and are hitting the major cities slowly but surely with their products,  They are bound to grow.

Last word spend some money and buy literature on investing, Improve yourself, turn your head into an asset.  
Cheers

pumping, i am really impressed. to think youve been on this thread for such a short time. thanks for the spreadsheet.

looks like the market don cool down small, just small.

AHHHHHH!

There are numerous sites to visit and learn what is happening to your money,
www.proshareng.com, www.nigeriansecurities.com, www.nsepro.com, www.meristemng.com, www.ibtc.com.
Proshare offers authentic results compared to some stock broking web pages.
If you pay more attention you can make 50% ROI every year, much better than any fixed deposit in nigeria even with #10,000 especially as u need over 1M to get ~10% in fixed deposits.
Cheers

@Pumping, Thanks for the info i.e the xls

@All
Folks please can we be less aggressive and civil in responses on this thread, there is such a thing as respect even over the cyber.

One love

how u dey?

@ Zenith Bank & Zenith Securities Nairalanders,

Kindly explain to me why your Bank must subject shares subscribers to make payment by Bank draft only. I was at your Ogunlana branch this afternoon to pay for my BAGCO shares and I was given a form to fill. I was then told to go make payment to the cashier. I told the lady that from my calculation 25,000 should be worth N97,5000, and NOT N98,733. I asked her if I was suppose to pay commission for subscription when BAGCO will pay the Bank and the issuing house for handling the transaction.

The lady told me the Bank operates by NSE policy which states that ALL transactions on shares MUST be by Bank draft. I told her I'm a big time investor and that I've always paid cash through the Banks even when I've to pay into my Broker's account.

I just see this as an extra income for Zenith Bank and only fools will fall for this. If we must pay by draft, how will the layman or non-account holder subscribe for shares.

Cheers

Good results from Lasaco.

How do you see this plan?

one word: "money spinning"

Guys, i need advice

New into this game , and i am learning a lot from this thread. I bought Nacho @ N34 and NASCON @ 22 a while back, i have been holding on to these for a while now, looking to cut my losses and move on to more profitable stocks, but not sure if NASCOn will come to terms with my purchase price, and NAHCO has been inching up, without fundermentals backing it up. Should i cut and run??

Need advice abeg.

IF I were you, i would actually sell my nahco and move on to another stock. if you do 20% with another sound stock, you have made profit that covers the loss on nahco. just my 2 cents.

hmmmm i've been following this thread, it's really amazing the number of pages i have to read everyday.
i'm kinda new iand really wanna learn a lot.
i bought cutix a 9.20.do u think i should sell now? or should i wait a bit
i bought cornerstone at 4 naira and lasaco at 3.36 naira some moths ago.since i bought them they started falling, should i sell now that they are atleast very close to d amounts i boughtthem for, have been waiting for the right moment to exit these insurance stocks.what do u think?

meanwhile what about ap? the way it's been rising is realy amazing.why is it rising like that and how long do u think this will last
SOMEBODY PLS REPLY ME.THANKS

@Temmie10 ,

Whats ur take on NASCON, do u think it would come of age ?

donilors:

@Temmie10 ,

Whats your take on NASCON, do u think it would come of age ?

i like nascon but at 16 naira or less.
You bought at 22 naira, thats pricey, if u have time on your side and giving that u're still learning, i'll advice you sell the nascon and buy phb po or some good offer that can giv u at least 50%, that helps ease the loss and puts you into the blue (profit)

pls, how do i update that spreadsheet thingy
if i want to sell a stock off but also want to collect my dividend, how do i know at what time to sell off (i.e my name will be in d book)

2gd
if u have time on your side, u might have to wait on your insurance picks
money has been released and their next results should start showing impact.
