Hello everyone
I was just wandering if anyone from Nairaland attended the proshare investment seminar at Sheraton. From their website I get a feeling it must have been very valuable. Can someone please share the gist. Ta

EKWA:

RELTEL PRIVATE PLACEMENT is coming out soon keep your money down ,spoke to their manager Tony Okonkwo this morning my good friend and family member.

Hi EKWA,
Thanks for the heads up. Please keep us posted.

@ aktopgun and andico34

I saw the interesting ongoing discussion on Mbenefit and I wanted to add my =N=2  .

From a chart perspective and a medium term point of view _{which I believe is 6 to12 months}, I would wait to see the direction of the stock _{of most insurance stocks} within the next 1 to 2 months. I agree with someone who posted earlier that the insurance sector is a minefield. I believe you would have to able a good CICOer and/or candle analyzer not to get burned now, not to mention have an agbero broker.

To me trying to time the bottom of the correction that price is undergoing now after the period of accelarated growth is very risky especially if you are a medium to long termer. I would rather wait for price to consolidate and when interest dies then look for some indication to enter. There is a chart pattern I once read about but I can't remember the name and Mbenefit _{and a couple of other insurance stocks} shows the typical model. The red trendline showing a nice rise in price and then followed by a very steep rise in price with another trendline shown in blue. When the blue trendline got broken by price it was the 1st signal to get out. Price hesisted at the red where there usually is a rally but this too got broken. I would expect now, if not a continuing decline in price, then some kind of consolidation so I'd give the stock some time to breathe and observe. This is just to make sure I enter at the best possible price region. Anyway this is my own take.

PS. aktopgun, easimoni, roughcut and all, if you remember this chart pattern I would like to know the name. The site I use for technical analysis, Decision point (www.decisionpoint.com/tacourse/tacoursemenu.html), only talks about accelerated growth and I can't find the name of this chart pattern anywhere.

Cheers and Happy Easter.

pumice, pumice, pumice, or should i say winch, winch, winch!!!

i agree 110% with ur analysis and as eniyanman has said too, looking to time bottoms can be dangerous and an exercise in futility. the candles are ther best tool i have found so far that gets anywhere close.

on the name of the pattern u are looking for, here u go on the same Mbenefit- BUMP RUN REVERSAL TOP

@pumice

I think what you are describing would be near to a bump and run reversal. Although I believe you need a tested resistance for the pattern to be complete. I could be wrong though.

bros u sef dey? cool!!

e be like say u and i see am the same way (see what i posted above)

@aktopgun

Impressive.

Infact I posted about 2 seconds after you ,,,,,,,I should have waited,,,,and received the added insight you provide with the pictures. I believe it was Quintus Horacius Flaccus who said in 65-8 BC that 'A picture is a poem without words' ,,,,,,,, you Sir, bring that saying to profound prominence.

. For u man (and pls stop with the "Sir" thing. )

Horace
(65-8BC) [Quintus Horacius Flaccus] Latin Poet, Satirist


Quintus Horatius Flaccus, was born on November 27, 8 BC. The renowned Roman Satirist and Lyrist was known in the English world as Horace. His father was a manumitted slave, however, he saved enough to see to Horace's education. His lyrical writings ('satires and lampoons') were to eventually come to the attention of Virgil and, in turn, to one of the ministers of Octavianus. With the recognition of those on high and gifts bestowed (one of which was a farm in the Sabinian Hills above Rome), Horace was able to lead a life of leisure and luxury; and, eventually, was to acquire the position of the poet laureate. His poetry supplies more phrases which have become proverbial than the rest of Latin literature put together.


A picture is a poem without words.


Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.


A word once uttered can never be recalled.


Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.


All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness within.


Art is long, life is short. [Ars longa, vita brevis.]


Either follow tradition or invent what is self-consistent.


He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.


It is when I am struggling to be brief that I become unintelligible.


Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.


Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.


Remember, when life's path is steep, to keep your mind even.


Seize the day, leave as little as possible to tomorrow. [Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.]


Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.


Youth is unduly busy with pampering the outer person.

@ aktopgun and ijogbon

Thanks guys. Bump and Run Reversal; that was the name I was looking for.

As always aktopgun, your posts are interesting to read. Thanks for pointing out the positive divergence on Mbenfit, again I didn't notice it. So I guess short-term CICOers should be wearing their shoes right now. Like you say it's better to see supporting candle formations before jumping in.

P.S. Aktopgun, you don turn guru finish o! Nothing remain again.  

Cheers.

@loma

Some people might mistake your quote as a rally to the abandonement of value (read - longterm) investing and an endorsement of 'CICOes'? I no dey O!

And concerning your remark about not wanting to meet me in the night,,,,well ,,,where I am right now ,,,,it is night,,,,what do you think now about meetin me in the dark?

@ijogbon; your name reminds me of all the beating i used to chop when i still dey act like that your name for naija!

@all ; If you take the quote abandon long-term investing, I go give you Horace grave address make you go complain!!

@aktopgun; Look at the 3rd to the last of your quotes, my quote is a fuller version of that!

@aktopgun

It is funny to note that I had my eye on Mobil for reasons other than T.A but the Bump and run reversal pattern is indeed evident with the approach starting in mid-february (with the green marubozu bouncing off the 180 support) the bump with the bullish engulfing pattern over the gravestone doji and the run around the shooting star early March.

It is interesting also to take the supporting volume movements at the respective points into cognisance.

However, thank you for pointing it out to me. I think I see the opportunity I have been waiting on (with the run coming near to the bottom of the priceband although the support is at 180, RSI trending in the oversold region and selling volumes becoming scarce).

@ijogbon

i am feeling ur analysis gaan. i just thot i'd point it out cuz of the similarities

@ Ioma, AKT, Nairalanders

Good to see all the fillers away from the NSE day jobs.

Since Ioma has invoked my spirit will add:

"Grandescunt aucta Labore" - like we used to say in the ole days in midtown Montreal and some of the silent readers with Canadian connection may know.

Chill during Easter and don't forget the message of Easter - for the Christians.

currently I am reading 'How to make money' in stocks by William J. O,Neil.

I had read before; 'Buffetology' by Mary J. Buffet.

Buffet; the making of an Americal capitalist.

'Five Rituals Of Wealth' (forgotten the author)

'Fire Your Share Analyst (from the Moneywise group)

'Guide To Investing' by Robert Kiyosaki

'Retire Young, Retire Rich', 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad, 'Cashflow Quadrant', all  from Robert Kiyosaki.

Still searching for more to buy, only that they are simply not available around where I live.

@invisible

una dey read gaan o!

knowledge is power abi

cool!

@topgun,
there is this worrying thing the book am reading now is telling me, it says to sell a stock immediately you discover it was a mistake buying it.

also says that you should stick to a -8% sell off rule after you buy, not to watch your money 'evaporate'

Ha, I hate losing money o, to tell me to sell and take a loss go hard o. how you see am?

William O'Neil is also against averaging down a bad buy, he supports averaging up a rising stock instead.

He says it like throwing good money after bad.

@LondonCol,
Thank you for sharing. Which of the bookstores do you suggest I should go in London?

I will make a serach and buy them anyway.

Many thanks.

@topgun,

Do you know anything about tourist company nig. Is it true that it is partly owned by Ikeja hotels.

@ Invisible

Tourist company of Nigeria is a company controlled by the Ibrus, as is Ikeja Hotels.
It owns Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island.
The results have not been as good as Ikeja Hotels but not sure about the shares performance as have not been following it.
