Foreign AffairsRe: Dollar Share Drops In Global Transactions by 4Play(m): 12:55pm On Mar 27, 2022
Mooh247:
I think you are paranoid or have some sort of prejudice

Again let me post what I wrote again in bolds Saudi / Chinese currency oil swap would weaken dollars and please without sentiment

Logically tell me why you replied with all this

I:
Your Chinese Currency (Yuan) has lost its position to the Japanese yen last month, dropping 0.97% and taking 2.23% in global calculations. However, the share of the yen in global settlements also decreased, and now stands at 2.71%.

The drop is global sir!

The rate of hatred I see in this forum against anything called US is alarming! I don't really understand, someone should educate me please
.
I think there are 3 main types of Putin stans:

1.) The first and most important are the bitter/resentful envious anti-Westerner who channels the frustration of being from a sh**hole country outwards and bears animosity toward the West as they represent success.

2.) Some Muslim compatriots who see everything through anti-West lens. Not much needs to be said here other than they are oblivious about how Russia treats its Muslim minority and how it has acted in Chechnya.

3.) Conspiracy bros who are susceptible to conspiracy tales that are proliferated across dubious internet sites/platforms. These ones are cognitively challenged and imagine they are "independent" thinkers as they distrust anything from mainstream media.

Do you also know ruble has gained over 120% in just a month now, you're clowning.
The petrol dollar survival relies on china, Russia, middle east.
As of now Iran, Venezuela has Just signed up to use Russia Mir payment system instead of dollars.
Europe will pay Russia in rubles for gas.if you don't know what that means sit down and watch professionals analyse
Ruble was 73 to $1 in January and is now 103 to $1. It has even lost ground to the Naira! Check any long term time frame, the Ruble is losing value irrespective of what may happen over short 1-month periods.

You saying it's gained in the last month is like saying a team losing 5-0 in a football match but which manages to score 1 and makes it 5-1 is now winning 1-0 since it scored. Spouting brainless Putin troll points can't disguise what is happening to the Russian currency. When are you going to go to your local bank to open domicillary account denominated in Rubles? Do you even know what the currency looks like?

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Accuses Azerbaijan of Violating Ceasefire by 4Play(op): 10:57am On Mar 27, 2022
doctokwus:
Of course Azerbaijan has seen from the Ukrainian invasion that the Russian army is one overated piece of Soviet era weaponry.
They also know that the most reckless invasion by Putin has over stretched the Russian military and now is the opportunity for the Azerbaijani to press home any gains because Putin cannot take the extra risk of trying to deploy more military personnel to Azerbaijan when his army is being penned back and attacked by the Ukrainians in some places.
The Syrian opposition fighting against Assad and Russian mercenaries may soon also start making moves of their own to overrun Russian backed Syrian army.
Putin and useless,demonic dictators like him is in for a rude awakening on how not to miscalculate and go into a battle built on lies,over estimation of one's true abilities and whose main aim is self glory.
The war in Ukraine has undermined Russia's standing in international affairs and this will be long lasting as the long term economic effects will continue to compound negatively for Russia due to renewed efforts to reduce reliance on Russian gas and loss of investor confidence in the economy.

There is a strong need for other forces to counterbalance Western hegemony but Russia has gone about it in counterproductive fashion. They should have taken China's lead: fewer military campaigns and more efforts on turning their national economy into the biggest in Europe.
Foreign AffairsRussia Accuses Azerbaijan of Violating Ceasefire by 4Play(op): 2:01am On Mar 27, 2022
[left][/left]Moscow on Saturday accused Azerbaijan of violating a ceasefire agreement by entering the Russian peacekeeping mission's zone in the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, the first time Russia publicly assigned the blame for violating the 2020 deal.

The Russian defence ministry also accused Azerbaijani troops of using Turkish-made drones to strike Karabakh troops, while the foreign ministry in Moscow expressed "extreme concern" over the spiralling tensions in the region.

Turkish-made drones to strike Karabakh troops, while the foreign ministry in Moscow expressed "extreme concern" over the spiralling tensions in the region.

Incidents between the armed forces of arch enemies Azerbaijan and Armenia have been frequent in recent months but Saturday's announcement was the first time since the end of the hostilities over Karabakh in November, 2020 that Moscow has accused one of the parties of violating the uneasy ceasefire.

Moscow denounced the flare-up on the 31st day of Russia's military campaign in Ukraine, with signs indicating that both sides were digging in for a protracted conflict in the pro-Western country.Turkish-made drones to strike Karabakh troops, while the foreign ministry in Moscow expressed "extreme concern" over the spiralling tensions in the region.

Apc rode to power on the premise that Jonathan was clueless in fighting Boko Haram terrorists.

Today we deal with the following security challenges under Apc government:

1. Boko Haram terrorists operating in the north east
2. ISWAP operaring in the north east
3. Fulani herdsmen operating in the north central and some parts of southwest
4. Bandits opering in the northwest
5. ESN/Unknown gunmen operating in the south east.

All of these operate freely without the federal goverment profering any feasible solution.

If by chance u end up voting for Apc in the next election, just know u are no better than a goat( ewure, akuya or ewu) that doesn't learn from experience.
The only new development is ESN as what you listed from 1 to 4 were all existing during GEJ's era but many Southerners didn't care or pay attention.

And they've done just exactly that.
This is the just word salad using nonsensical talking points widely circulated on the internet. How do you demilitarise a country that because of this war is constantly being replenished with weaponry by outside forces?

How is Donbass region secure? Maybe you should go visit or at least Putin can do a publicity visit as it's secure.

Foreign AffairsRe: Twitter Mocks Russian Missile That Refused To Explode After Lodging In Kitchen by 4Play(m): 9:43am On Mar 21, 2022
princeeze1:
I have no issues with your point of view. It’s a public discuss, everyone must not share same sentiments. Even in the UN where a lot of countries voted under US pressures as revealed by India, pakistan and China, alot still did not play ball and choose to abstain. Everyone cannot say yes to an ideology no matter how appealing or not. The bolded is my grouse with your write up. The broke shaming, ethnic shaming, name calling of people simply for not towing your line of opinion is very wrong. Your are not in people’s pockets to assume they are broke for daring to disagree with your ideology. A lot of people having divergent views does not mean they are ethnic bigots or don’t have it going better for them than you and I. It has nothing to do with envy or are you richer than even FFK? Maturity is what makes accommodation for diverse opinions. We are not in an autocratic forum. It shows you would be worse than most governors that crackdown on the opposition we criticize here. Even in the US/Europe, there are people/politicians who criticize NATO for this crisis, are they also broke, envious, Muslims who are just angry about their state of affairs? By your assumptions, China and India who are among the top five economies are poor and envious for not aligning with the US.
It's not about personal but national success. No matter how personally successful you are, you ultimately see yourself as a Nigerian. As a person from a country associated with failure, your sense of national identity is associated with failure. What do a lot of people who have strong association with failure do? They find it easy to resent those associated with success.

It's not about NATO criticism, I too believe that NATO had no business expanding into Eastern Europe. Where I draw the line is the way Nigerians like you gloat about the killings in a war that has nothing to do with you. Have you not realised that even the Russian government describes the war as a special operation (they don't refer to it as war) and don't take responsibility for the civilian deaths because they think the Russian people won't approve of such deaths? If the Russian government thinks this way, why do Nigerians like you gloat about such deaths?

As for China and India being major economic powers, of course, they have populations in excess of 1bn each but if you combined their economies, it's still smaller than the US which has a fraction of their populations. So of course, people there easily resent Western powers because they view the West as more powerful and successful than them. Maybe you as a black man should relocate from the West to China and India since they are such a success.

Actually your write up is what reeks of frustrations. Kindly go through my posts carefully, you may discover I don’t even live in Nigeria even if my wife and kids are based there. Again, against your assumptions, I am from the SS and not from the Muslim north. Nothing wrong with being a northerner though. Incidentally I live in the west. I do not abhor these countries, I only point out their hypocrisy and double standards. Their lies and deceptions. Fani Kayode wrote a beautiful piece on this war and zelensky, it’s here on NL, I advise you to read it. SM cheers don’t win wars. No matter how much wishful thinking is wished in favour of Ukraine, it will be crushed yet zelensky is busy receiving applause from western assemblies. I noticed a worrying pattern of people trying to broke shame or ethnic shame people on social media due to having divergent views, ogbeni, that’s how you recognize very broke and morally depraved beings with bankrupt manners.
What has Western hypocrisy and double standards to do with the facts that people are being killed in a war of choice and you gloat about these killings like a mindless savage as if you have a personal stake in the dispute?

You abhor the Western world you reside in and applaud Russia, have you ever considered moving to Russia where they obviously don't exhibit any of the hypocrisy or double standards you so gleefully denounce?

This idea that Zelensky is to be condemned for resisting the invasion of his country or that it is even entirely up to him as to whether Ukraine should resist Russian invasion is absurd. Do you seriously think that if he died today Ukrainians will immediately surrender?

Also, who takes a morally degenerate wife beater like Fani Kayode seriously apart from Nigerians? As a government minister, he was a corrupt failure. In the West where you live, do people like him still have public platform to opine on things? You don't care for an international relations professional like Geoffrey Onyeama's view but it's Fani Kayode who you listen to. FFK is an idiot's idea of an intellectual and the fact you take him seriously speaks volumes of your limited intellect.

In my view, the popularity of anti-West diatribes amongst Nigerians is fueled by resentment/envy about how much better off they are compared to us. This is even more pronounced amongst people who live in Nigeria (not all) and is amplified amongst our Muslim fellow Nigerians who absorb a lot of anti-West hate mongering. Generally speaking, in any walk of life, people associated with failure envy/resent people associated with success. Nigerians are more likely to jump on the anti-West bandwagon as our country is a woeful failure.

Why is Nigeria a failure? Because it is full of people like you who do not value human life and accord charlatans like FFK respect and elevate him to positions of authority.

It took the US a few weeks to defeat and remove the Iraqi and Afghan governments. After this, the next phase is military occupation which takes years and proved failures.

Russia is yet to succeed in the first phase of the removal of the Ukrainian government. The chances of them being able to successfully occupy Ukraine in the next phase is very slim.

If Putin banned 11 opposition parties under the pretext of war, just as Zelensky has done today, Western media would be likening it to a Stalinesque purge.

Very fake!!! The ceiling puncture is much smaller than the size of the missile. Even if a missile that size did not explode, passing through that ceiling would have totally brought down the ceiling by sheer kinetic energy.

No amount of social media mockery or Ukrainian media victory will change the dynamics on ground. Ukraine is being destroyed and decimated in reality, even the lying bbc could not hide the fact mauripol has been totally destroyed, but on the media, we know Russian weapons are so bad that Ukraine has killed 12000 soldiers.
Seeing these kind of bitter anti-west posts, I have a theory. A lot of Nigerians gloating in the slaughter of women and children in Ukraine like the stereotypical "African savage" are often based in Nigeria. This must be the frustration of living in a hellish country, whilst you think the West is a success story to be resented. Because you are confronted by the failure of the country you are from, you respond with bitterness to those parts of the world that you think represent success.

That's the only explanation I can see as apart from Naija Muslims who automatically hate the West because the Arab world told them to, other Nigerians' bitterness stems from resentment when they compare status to the Western world.

The sort of ignorance it takes to link this to Ukraine is baffling. Inflation has been heating up since covid and the US had committed to interest rate increases late last year:

Americans who have been to the grocery store lately or started their holiday shopping may have noticed that consumer prices have spiked. The annual rate of inflation in the United States hit 6.2% in October 2021, the highest in more than three decades, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Other inflation metrics also have shown significant increases in recent months, though not to the same extent as the CPI.

I also think many "protesters" from that era have been so completely disproven in their arguments that they see no reason to rally themselves for any new protests.

The main reason is the displacement of Shekau's Boko Haram by Islamic State (ISIS). Boko Haram's modus operandi was mass slaughter of civilians which didn't go down well with other jihadists.

That the operation against Shekau was launched on the direct orders of the leadership of Isis in the Middle East, which is concerned by Boko Haram’s indiscriminate targeting of “believers”, underlines the continuing global reach of the group through its affiliates and the possibility of further expansion in Africa.

South Africa are ruled by black people but those does it change that same black People are been oppressed in their own land by white and South Africans is same level like in Germany
I bet you have never been to South Africa before or meets South Africans
So on what basis are you equating racism blacks experience in Russia to that experienced in the West?

Why aren't our people working there in Russia, in positions of authority and in good jobs as you have in places like the UK and Ireland. The problem is that you are familiar with the West because a lot of our people are there working and studying. You are less familiar with Eastern Europe and Russia in particular as blacks are relatively scarce in these parts. But blacks are scarce for good reason, it's a hostile environment and it's more difficult (compared to the West) to settle there as a non-white person coming from a place like Africa.

There is racism in Ireland and the UK but it's false to claim it's same level as being non-white in Russia. Ireland even had a non-white PM and for all the pro-Russia noisemaking, I don't see us lining up to go work and live in Russia

I totally agree with you, I mean any serious long term investor will always look to get MSFT, GOOG, and FB at great prices, but then my present concerns with large cap tech companies is that they are all currently trading at outrageous earnings multiples. In short they have all risen too much, and too fast. Got in on AMZN recently though, and I am looking to add FB, MSFT, and more of NVDA soon, but not yet grin.

Was invested in ETSY up until the first trading days of the year, but then the moment it broke through the 200MA on the daily chart I sold off the shares, and I am glad I did. Looking to get back in soon though as it's a company I see myself holding for the long term.
Big cap tech - MSFT, FB, APPLE, NVDA, GOOG - are all relatively reliable and their valuations aren't excessive judged by price to earnings ratios. AMZN is also good but I feel like it got a pandemic boost due to online shopping. Their cloud division remains a strong long-term growth driver but I feel MSFT's Azure cloud offers strong competition too

The other names I mentioned - Pinterest, Etsy, Gentherm, Finwise - are all very high risk so won't recommend them to anyone. That being said, I think Etsy has good long term prospects due to "network effects." More buyers on the platform attract more sellers which in turn attracts more buyers....Its valuation is now more reasonable in the $140 area compared to when it was +$300.

I am already looking to sell my Pinterest Holdings due to reports yesterday that 7 senior executives left the company in the last few weeks!

1. Disney, DIS
2. Mercadolibre, MELI
3. PayPal, PYPL
4. Corsair Gaming, CRSR
5. Alibaba, BABA

Remember, time spent in the market always beats time spent timing the market. So if you are in for long term, the above listed stocks are trading at great prices.

NB: The above is my personal opinion, not investment advice.
Stocks are much more investable than they were last year as the prices have come down. Worth taking a look at the major names: Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG), and Meta/Facebook (FB).

I added Gentherm (THRM) and Pinterest (PINS) to my stock portfolio (my main funds remain in indexes). I also intend to add to Xpel and Lam Research (LRCX). Still eyeing Finwise Bancorp (FINW) and Etsy.

No idea where these are going in the next few months. With geo-political tensions, interest rate being increased and liquidity being drained by the Federal Reserves, and this being an election year, stocks can go down further. But I think they are reasonably priced for the next few years.

Thanks for your post.

Am still trying to wrap my head around dividend stocks.

For example for GIS which yield is about 3percent. Does that mean if i invest 1000 dollars, i will get around 30 dollars as dividend for a whole year cry ?

Yok wrote a beautiful post about REITs which includes Orchid capital with an excellent yield of 15% but my fear like most dividend stock is that the stock price has gradually fallen from about 15 dollars to 4.64.

Please why do people invest in dividend stocks when the yields are either small or the stock price gradually reduce to cause investors a loss rather than profit?
I wrote a long reply to this but got banned by the spambot.

In a nutshell, you will get $30 in a year for your $1,000.00 if the yield is 3%. The reason for investing is for the cashflow given how difficult it is to find suitable alternatives and low interest/savings rates you get in the Western world. But it's more suitable if you have large capital in the first place.

The higher the yield, the more likely it's unsustainable as the dividend will be cut. If you are looking for a short-term play with high yields, try Zim Integrated Shipping Services (Zim) where the yield for this year will be +20% if you include special dividend.

PS: When I initially typed this reply before the spambot got in the way Zim's share price was lower.
