Last week I created a thread talking about how my japa plans have been crushed due to the increase in dollar.

Many adviced me to invest in dollar, this was the advice they gave me months ago but I did follow through because I wasn't sure.
My last thread hit front page and 90% of the comments were advising me to invest in dollars, one even quoted that in the past 10 years, the dollar haven't fallen but it increases every year.

One even called me a weak minded person and I am scared to take risks.
After everything I thought to myself, since so many people felt this dollar will keep on rising, maybe I should invest afterall life is all about risks.

Well guess what, dollar have decreased, I invested 3M in buying dollars and now in today exchange rate. I have 2.6M now and I either cash out now or hope it will increase.

Right now, I am very angry.
Those giving me advice should come and contribute the 400k for me o

Another thing, do you think the dollar will increase or should I just cut my loses.
I am so tired 😫

You should have just held on to it.

Naira would eventually strengthen, so you did the right thing. It's only increasing back because CBN halted their backlog payments which they did on Thursday and Friday.

By the time the CBN receives the 7Bn dollars they are expecting (most likely before December), they would clear that backlog totally and allow regular inflows again.

The problem the CBN has now are forward contracts of crude oil that have been made over the years which prevented them from fulfilling their FOREX obligations since around 2020.

The foreign inflows by foreign Banks and investors in Nigeria have continued to decrease heavily since 2020 because of that and the exchange rate have moved from 360 naira in 2019 to 1130 naira in 2023.

If CBN and Federal Government can do all they can to allow those foreign inflows again and they solve the crude oil problem, then exchange rate would no longer be unstable. It wasn't this unstable from 1999 to 2020 compared to from 2021 to 2023. The reason is COVID and increased crude oil problems from that.

Exactly! I was surprised that people advised her to invest in dollars at this point. It surely would have made more sense around that August that she was initially advised. Buying at that time and selling when it peaked would have gotten her huge profits. But that's crying over spilt milk. If OP get mind sha she fit invest like 500k into local rice as I can't see it crashing during festive season; maybe after though.

@OP
There are those who are cashing out when they get very good rice to sell. Don't just buy from anyone if you are interested. And don't buy because it is "cheap".
Wouldn't mention who you shouldn't buy from but I can recommend who you can buy from if you are interested. There are also a host of businesses to invest in that are not as volatile as this Forex market. You can contact @maryam1234 if you want to test it out (even with a very small amount).

You are a very wise man

I invested #200k into aggressive supplies of local rice here in Edo state 2 months ago. By God's Grace I have accumulated nearly 20% in pure profit in just 2 months

There are lots of good businesses with low risk here In Nigeria especially in the agro commodity sector. If you are resilient and focused. You will succeed

I clearly understand, especially when the money is not disposable. My advise is to always save in $ or just buy gold to keep because a lot of people do not understand that keeping your savings in $ now in Naija is not an investment but only helping you to preserve the value. 1 million naira of last year is not 1 million naira of today. Its just a pity for the average Nigerian as a bag of rice is steadily creeping towards 100k.

It is meant to shake off weak hands...

Wait till March next year when there will likely be a bull run in the financial markets, and you will see the demand for dollars out of FOMO.

If the person in the thread above had waited instead of crying like you now...he will be in massive profits if he sold around 1300...the next level is 1500 after this correction

Bros, I dey hail una ó... grin grin wink wink
Swiftgrp:

From that NL web link of 2022... The economic variables and fundamentals of November 2022 and above from November 2023 are different.

Majorly those refineries are about to commence near-capacity fuel production from Dangote at the end of November 2023 and the other in refinery in PH from the first quarter of 2024. This would lower the demand for fuel imports while boosting USD reserves to the tune of $10 billion per annum. The CBN would also readily get FX from the refineries' fuel export operations.

Whatever "next level" that may occur on those P2P price charts would be one fueled by greed and fear. In any event, a lot of folks who are not experienced in legit arbitraging will lose their hard-earned money in USD due to poorly thought out speculations.

You have to know when to EXIT any asset by gathering functional knowledge through self-research and/or paid research.
