easimoni:The idea about the monday sell-off day is based on the weekend break that allows peeps in the market to react to the trend of thursdays and fridays.When there is a rally most investors get taken over by the euphoria until the profit takers descend. The real real profit takers are the institutional traders and big money peeps.For instance , NEM opened today @4.51 , the smart money moved in about 11.00 to take profits and push it to max 5% loss for the daytrade. TRADING FOR A LIVING by ALEXANDER ELDER. A must for any trader. |
pumping777:Got it right . Received my oceanic certs today,and you know whats next , |
yodiyokun:this is CRUCIAL especially to newbies, you must LEARN , the EXPERIENCE of the gurus will help fastrack your knowledge bank . A few weeks ago , nairaland was off air ,then the danger of gurudependency was highlighted.There is just no way forward other than to Learn. I have made progress and money and da FAULT belongs to peeps like EASI , FATHER OF 2, PUMPING ,WW ETC I cant thank all of you enough but the newbies goota understand you ave to do your own smart and hardwork. |
easimoni:With due respect to Father of 2 , you can add MONDAYS as sell-off days too , got this from a book, Trading for a Living . The Thursday - friday is also written there and explained. |
pumping777:@ Pumping you have a way of posting my thoughts. One more reason apart from your selflessness why i read your posts many times over. You and some guys i have mentioned repeatedly here are responsible for me being much better than a year ago . Thanx a mil. |
[quote author=yodiyokun link=topic=31554.msg1817941#msg1817941 date=119939 I doubt it as well that the insurance will make it past next week - Niger insurance already started losing above 4% yesterday and also lost today - so the loosing has already start. [/quote]Niger ins case is a bit different, the firm result was no good , 16% change in PAT over same period in 06 don't look good considering the industry results. Though inevitably profit-takers must descend. |
grabdaloot:I share your view on this. In fact i alluded to this in two of my last posts as regards the DEMAND that is pushing stock prices north. I compared the last year's trend with this year and definitely bull run has taken off earlier and i believe it will be sustained because TOO MUCH MONEY are chasing the limited listed firms.Though there will be occasional profit -taking but there will be more abnormal profits to make. Futher i noticed a trend in the last 6 weeks , every week there is a feature or analysis in Business Day about 1 or 2 listed firms and guess what , the share price rallies heavily afterwards it was the case for NEIMETH , OANDO , C I LEASING and this week FCMB .I think most participants help the bull run to become a self-fulfilling prophecy as every player tries to take position ahead of the next man,maybe we all read the same information. Bottomline, the demand will continue to push price up and the trend will last as suggested by easimoni. methinks this is going to be a watershed year and we should restrategize for the changing NSE. |
ololufemi:am with u on this. I have made a decision to withdraw my P.O applications except the ones i find truly promising.The opportunities lost to PO s is becoming greater as the excess-demand(oversubscription) for P.Os are almost a certainty.The secondary market is not spared either as the DEMAND for most stocks is pushing prices north .The market seems to be changing fast. i undertand better why some peeps dont do P.Os. |
@ALL Happy new year and i wish everyone here success @lowee 231 will register by month end. The mean pass rate worldwide is 40%. COMPLIMENTS |
@ all attached is Dealer's perspective for 020108 from Afrinvest. |
steeviee:dont have much info except this below which i got from Bizday : The firm is the leading producer of livestock feeds in Nigeria. Plans to reopen Kaduna mill to boost production capacity and improve market share and accesssibility. Plans to icrease production from the present average of 4.5 metric tonnes per hour@ three key operating mills. Apparently the firm is expanding but i dont have projections as to when the expansion will impact the Topline and bottom line. |
FatherOF2:good insight . compliments ! |
@ all It appears the insurance bull is holding steady as 11 firms in the sector did max price limit. Fcmb , Oceanic,Gtb,Access inching higher . Positioning should be done ASAP as it appears the big money movers have started positioning for the 1st half of next year. A.g leventis did max.Betaglass ,Nampak did max points. AP, OandO ,Conoil and Afroil closed @max point. On your marks , delay is EXPENSIVE ! Happy 2008 to all @ aktopgun happy 2008 to you and yours , the weather is lovely .Wish 2008 is as lovely for us all .cheers ! |
aktopgun:the market is open. compliments ! |
@easimoni i notice you have been ignoring my posts . IF i offend you , no vex. no offence intended. |
@ easimoni thanks for the info above. E be like say i go hire you to run my folio !! Still scowering for info on National sports lottery ,only thing i found is they have a licence for 30yrs. None of the reseachers have the firms financial .Have you got any info ? I have a gut feeling the company will do well ,you know,lottery easily becomes an habit and most business like that succeed.Looking to have reasonable basis before i dive in . Please share any info . |
IykeD:You can make a success of it even if you have a B.sc in Hausa language. What matters is your dedication and hardwork . The financial maths should be a piece of cake for you , but the difficulty of the exam lies in the VOLUME OF THE MATERIALS.for the Level 1 exam , there isnt much quatitative analysis.If you Love money , you will enjoy the notes despite the stress. Go for it , there is an analyst in you. Goodluck. |
@easimoni compliments ! i dey expect my e-gift ! |
@lynxnoon You can buy it from cashcraft or any other receiving agent.Operating an account is not a requirement to buy public offers, though the sum you invest in the p.o may be used to meet the initial account requirement. Felices Fiesta. Que tenga suerte !! |
lynxnoon:AIICO is a good buy based on the pricing and the growth prospects in the insurance sector. The last 5 years financials does not provide any extra incentive to buy, however the company will do well going forward as it will leverage on the local content policy that keeps substantial risk retention in the country while it will be able to expand its risk capacity with the recently signed contract. The P/E @ offer price is 10.48x. |
invisible!:made precisely the same move in october and its been a good decision ,though i don't mind paying a limited premium for oceanic for the long term ,however there are better and more profitable short term options . The risk-return is not the same for different timeframes but you have a higher probability of good returns in the long run than in the short term. Finally the cost of the extra profits you made by realigning your portfolio is the premium you pay to reenter oceanic. You can't win them all ! |

@all Anyone watching Neimeth Plc ? The share price has surged lately and here is the story i found .Two subsidiaries has been created 1. NISL - Neimeth Intergrated Services Limited 2.WHL-Worldwide Healthcare Limited Objective- To boost turnover and increase return on investment NISL vision - To generate unprecedented value for stakeholders BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES created by MARKET REFORMS. In order to achieve this the firm intends to engage in the following services - Fast consumer health products such as Health and Energy drinks Skin Care products Digital Self -Diagnostic instruments and Devices AND investment activities. PROJECTIONS TURNOVER PBT 2008 1.5BN 0.36BN 2009 3.0BN 0.81BN 2010 4.5BN 1.2BN The other subsidiary WHL will engage in Helthcare provisioning with emphasis on deworming , rollback malaria ,safe motherhood and sickle cell support programmes. Health Systems Management, public private sector partnership and Project Consultancy -reactivation and upgrading of health services. Contract Manufacturing Guaranteed revolving credit scheme MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING with focus on natural products. WHL PROJECTIONS TURNOVER 2007 300MN 2008 500MN 2009 700MN 2010 1BN The best part of the story is the Neimeth CEO statement THAT THE IMPACT OF THE INVESTMENT IN THE SUBSIDIARIES WILL BEGIN TO MANIFEST IN 3 MONTHS. I think this is worth a look in as the firm is growing and has good fundamentals though the industry is not a high margin sector comparatively. |
texas543:Thanx man. For me #8 is the best and vital part. |
@Father of 2 well said. Whoever needs money should give it first. 11TH commandment !!! @Ololufemi , as per fcmb , no worries .If it was good @17.45 , its even BETTER NOW ! |

lowee231:You can pay through your credit card or call schweser to ask for alternative payment method. You may sign up for the Online class. The instructor is very good. |
EMMAACHILE:@Emmachile Trade ALERT- yes , i get my trade alerts in spain Online mandate- in my case no , the website is going thru changes. I prefer to mail and confirm by phone , dont leave nothing to chance . Commission - you may be able to adjust based on volumes, methinks this is on a case-by case basis. Prompt Execution - Same day ,90% of the time. This is their stongest selling point . Weekly Picks - Afrinvest weekly picks include short term trade recommendations. Research - they are good , but I THINK fsdh is best of the lot on research. |
hispy99:@ all i don't want to exagerrate the difficulty but niether do i want to understimate the task. yOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A GENIUS , BUT THE MARGIN OF ERROR is reduced because the pass mark is 70% and you can't fail ethics. Also we are different in our comprehesion and Retention capacities. Hence ,i may need 3hrs to understand what others will probably understand in 2hrs or less. My point , the earlier you start studying the better , the more you study and take REPEATED TESTS , the higher your CONFIDENCE LEVEL. It IS ABSOLULETLY ESSENTIAL YOU CONTINUALLY TEST YOURSELF YOURSELF so you do not HAVE A false sense of security. REMEMBER , THE AVERAGE HUMAN BRAIN WILL FILE AWAY ANY INFORMATION AFTER 3 WEEKS IF YOU DO NOT REPEATEDLY ASK THE BRAIN FOR IT. Not trying to raise alarm , but anyone can make a succes of it , if you apply yourself to the task. goodluck |
lowee231:You can definitely rely on the schweser notes . That was my study provider for level 1 . Do you have the SECRET SAUCE ? If you don't try get it ,because it helps you focus on the important points . I hope you are using the 2008 notes because the 100 LOS have been adjusted ,while 40% new materials have been introduced for the 2008 curriculum. Youcan definitely rely on schweser . By the time you go over the practise section , you will be good to go . Make sure you stay on of ETHICS and GIPS. Thats 15% of the exam . Goodluck. |
@toyibanj compliments , i recognize o. how your side , must be 'sunny' over there ! |
RoughCut:u don talk am finish , na repositioning i dey now ! |



You need to dedicate time for studying though as there is a lot of material to cover, especially in level 2. I used Schweser books and they were good enough.
