@Arthur2k5. Visit the registrars of Japaul at Knight Frank building: Sterling registrars ltd on campbell street, lagos Island, for a possible replacement of the certificate. Afterwards, open a cscs account and get it converted to avoid such occurrences.
Best Wishes.

how can I benefit in the stock market

Answer: The Nigerian Stock Market is not as complex as developed countries, so this is the best time to get involved. The best way to benefit from the market is making sure you buy low and sell high. If the market is falling, do not wait and hope it will come back especially if it is dropped by almost 5% in one day. Get out and get back in when it starts to rise.

what are the necessary precautions in the stock market
Do your homework. Study the industry, understand the stock market. Read books about Value investing from Warren Buffet. Do not make an emotional decision. Bottom Line research.

what is a broker account

A Brokerage account is an account you open with a Stock Broker of your choice. The broker in turn opens an account with the CSCS on your behalf. Make sure the CSCS account is opened in your name and not the name of the broker. Also make sure your broker is well capitalized. Check to see if they are listed as one of the under capitalized firms in the market.
A broker charges a fee, it most be between 1.25% and 1.75%, DO not get tricked into some special management account where they charge you fees and very little. You are entitled to statements any time you want it.


how can I get the right broker

Go to www.nigerianstockexchange.com or www.cscsnigerialtd.com for a list of approved brokers.

I will also strongly suggest you open an account with www.mongranfinancials.com. This is the best real time financial platform for the Nigerian Market and it will help you protect your investments as well as help you keep your broker honest.

problem with indemnity is that banks dont give it anymore and stockbrokers and insurance companies charge a shitload of money for it, my broker said i had to pay 10k for a signature on an indemnity form while an insurance company told me the minimum charge is 5k or a certain %age of the stockvalue whichever is more

is there any other way to get a cert replaced?
Re: Stock Market: Questions And Answers by 9iceX(m): 9:57am On Feb 14, 2011
Mine is more like a request and advice,
Ok guyz, i have 200k. I dn't realy need this money at the moment so i wanna invest in some things. 2 things came into my mind, i.e, Fixed Deposit and Shares. I need more enlightment from u guys, on which one is more 'profitabu'.

Re: Stock Market: Questions And Answers by david90(m): 4:45pm On Feb 16, 2011
@9iceX, if you really want to invest the 200k, i will suggest that you invest it in shares instead of fixed deposit,

in fixed deposit the highest interest rate you can get cannot be as high as 10% which is small, but in share your investment in the long run for at least 5 years will have increased your initial capital if not to a 300% interest on your initial investment and you will also be benefitting from the dividend which you will be getting every year from the company.

i will advise that you buy in to different company shares through your stock broker.

Bros the first and best thing to do is to contact the registrars, by going to the office, writing letter or emailing yourself and ask them. The registrars are in charge of certs for shareholders so if thats what they require im not sure if theres another way around it. maybe you can get a friend who works in an insurance firm or stock brokers or stock agent to help with the indemnity, thats what I can think of. good luckk

What Next for Suspended Stockbroking Firms?

April 12, 2011, 2119hrs, Saheed KARIBE

At a compliance meeting held by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) with the CEOs of stock broking firms on the 7th of January, 2011; the riot act was read to the brokers with regards to the need to enforce the existing capital requirements.

The management of the Exchange represented that all dealing member firms should ensure that they shore up their capital base to the minimum of N70 million and render their quarterly account regularly or face being barred from the market.

Barely two weeks after the meeting was held, the NSE released names of fifty-seven (57) stockbroking firms with inadequate shareholders fund and immediately suspended such firms from trading on the floor. The exchange later added four (4) more dealing member firms to take the total number of firms affected to sixty-one (61).

Among the companies suspended were: Adamawa Securities Limited, Afrinvest West Africa Limited, BGL Securities Limited, Century Securities Limited, Cowry Asset Management Limited, Diamond Securities Limited, First Inland Securities Limited, FIS Securities Limited, Nigerian Stockbrokers Limited, UBA Stockbrokers Limited, Vision Trust and Investment Limited, Pivot Trust and Investment Company Limited, Sigma Securities Limited and Eurocomm Securities Limited.

Some of these firms responded positively to this development/requirement – noting that arrangements had been underway to comply but for the hiatus created at the exchange – and have since complied.

According to our records at Proshare, twenty (20) dealing member firms have since complied with the directives while forty-one (41) are still classified as having ‘inadequate shareholders funds’ as at 3rd of March, 2011. Follow this link to view the list of affected firms

The question now is this – would the NSE use this situation to send a signal as regards its disposition to rules, supervision and enforcement by

1. Announcing an extension to the time limit which expired on March 31st 2011; or

2. Withdrawing the dealing or/and brokerage licences of these firms; or

3. Setting up an incentive scheme where guidance can and will be provided for firms willing to merge and a support service to help those unable to merge come together under a ‘scheme of merger’; or

4. Announcing a spilt in services between dealing and brokerage services with revised capital requirements; or lastly

5. Adopting any combination of the above.

Whichever decision comes out from the exchange, it is important for the market to know that things will never be the same again.

What is now left to be answered is how soon will these inevitability happen and what guidance will the NSE be providing both the operators, investors and general public on how this process will be managed.

Uncertainty is not what the market needs at this time. It is time we confront this matter and get it over with, within the rules of the market and a dose of common sense.

See here for those firms that have complied and those yet to comply: http://www.proshareng.com/news/singlenews.php?id=13185
