Immediately the suspension was lifted, First Bank shares began to appreciate and at a certain point it crashed from 57naira to 41.54.
What happened? Or was that an artificial growth or something? Honestly am worried. Can any guy feel me?

what was your plan when u invested in the Firstbank shares ? long term or short one ? if long term dont worry much , the fundamentals of the bank have not really changed that much , however if u invested to make money on the short term , then i think you have made a mistake .

@ poster,

when company issues bonus shares, the NSE adjusts the price to account for the new shares. Therefore since FBN declared 1-for-6. The new price = (6/7) x the old price. Therefore the price at closure date was 48.5, the price after closure was (6/7) X 48.5 = 41.57. Now you have 7 shares worth 41.57 each instead of 6 shares worth 48.5 each. Both cases are worth 291.

No winner, no loser. Don't go looking for bonus. It's a mirage.

Many thanks EASIMONI for your reply.

Let me ask again, does the bonus share include those who bought from the just concluded public offer?

I just hope the certicates would bo out before january, 2008 if they really have regard for SEC.

Nevada,
the bonus will not be applied to those who bought the the PO. It was stated in the prospectus that PO buyers would not be eligible for 2006-2007 dividends or bonus issues.

I don't know when the certs will be released. I don't follow the primary market because it's too much stress and uncertainty.

I have some units before the PO and bought some during the PO will i qualify for the dividend and bonus as i was a share holder since last year. last month i bought at 31 and 33 naira. Pls let me know if i will get the divdend and bonus

You are qualified and will recieve bonus and dividend payments for all the units you had prior to the po. so if you had 6000 units before the po and then bought 6000 mo during the po, the dividends and bonus will only be credited to the 6000 shares u had before the po.

Thanks guy for shading the light. But what is happening to the price do u think it will appreciate again b4 the end of the year. Since last two weeks or so its on the downward trend with no sign of going up.

When is Guniness and oando giving their dividend?

Yes i would be surprised if the price did not go down. This is the end of a financial year and beginning of another, bonus and dividend declarations and adjustments have also played their part so its not unexpected. Of course it will rise, but how soon i cannot put a figure on that.
It could take up to 2 years before FBN releases really astronomical results but the wait would have been worth it,

:oTHANK GOD I DID NOT BUY FIRSTBANK

Let not your heart be in trouble FBN just rounded up their finacial year, decleared 1-6, people are selling.

Downward trend is normal in any stock after the finacial year is decleared with positive result.

For FBN, u have nothing to FEAR, let us wait and see and be patience when on buz.

The primary market is public offers, initial public offers, rights issues, private placements and the like. the secondary market is the buying and selling on the floor of the exchange.
