Care4:
ETF has gained attention lately. Just know it's more of pump and dump for now. See that charts.
And liquidity issues as well.

I just finished a T.A on this and realized, Only the price is too expensive at this time for it, however, volume is moderate (NOT HIGH) but seller will exercise a little bit of patience before position sells off.

Dear friends ,

I'm new to Equity investment. Thanks for this forum, which I have read the post from page 1 to date🙏. I started my equity journey with cowrywise from this forum . So far it's been a good experience compared to my money market investment 😜. Some days, it's all smiles with green 💚 other other days it's heart ache🔴🙃. But I love the thrill.

I have both the individual Equity fund and the managed Equity fund investments. But I notice my individual picks are doing better than the managed equity funds . I wonder why 🤔

Moderators of this Equity forum . I appreciate your help 🙏🥰.

Individual stocks is/are the real deal that makes more money because you are essentially betting it would go up then you invest into it. Viola!!!, it eventually goes up by some percent usually greater than the percentage managed fund do.

For managed Funds (Equity mutual funds)— you hedging your bet on derivatives mode, meaning you not sure which stock will do well but f_ck it anyway, I will buy all good stocks to be put together in one basket. That's what managers do when they help you manage your fund, Now here is where it gets crazy — you are to pay that fund manager a fee whether you make gain or loss. Yep, that's right. So when you put all these into consideration. Your individual stock pick will always beat derivatives like equity fund but If you play the long game with derivatives, you will beat the market.

In conclusion: You earn more picking individual stocks than Equity mutual funds but picking the right stock is the challenging part, if it was easy, no one would have to buy equity fund anyways.

US MARKET NOT A BAD ONE TODAY/ LOCAL PLATFORMS NEED A LONG WAY TO GO
Despite the on going FOMC meeting. NASDAQ is up.

With my experience in this Global market, recently I have seen that following the news can be one of our greatest undoing. We would be better if we follow trends, especially if we back it up with sector rotation.

Our local platforms seems not well positioned for Global stock trading. Everything about them is just wrong
In Vest, O can sell a stock, use the proceed grom that selling yo buy another stock all completed with one minute or 2. I tried same on Trove and it became like rocket science. I sold a stock, for the proceed to drop and use it to buy another stock. I had to wait for 5 minutes or more. No wonder for like 3 trading days I have never opened "Trove" platform. Whereas on Vest every trading day is action time. I look forward to each day with enthusiasm.

Conclusion is that " our local platforms needs a lot of improvement or they should leave the 'Global stock trading" for the foreign firms!!! I just saw that " Trove" has bought a Nigerian Stockbroker, good for them, but attracting quality Customers will be the issue. Any Stockbroker that will take my local stock trading transactions away from UCAP and Morgan Capital need to do a lot of hard work!!!

Chief, what is the amount commission fee Vest charges, I'm considering leaving bamboo.

Arizona86:
Thank you Beeron for the insight. What's your projection for the month of April? Will this sluggish movement continue into the month of April or we should expect a positive outcome.

All I can say is hopefully.

Arizona86:
This month should come and be going, we've had enough. What's the problem with banking stocks this period, the performance this month has been very poor.

Not only banking sector, consumer goods sector too.

Do you remember that rally back in February? That institution bull run driven rally right — that was abnormal for a stable market like Nigeria equity space because it's tightly regulated (daily +10 gain -loss)

In a normal free flowing market reality, what should have happened after February rally should been correction to reset the market because most people will have to take profit, but due to how high tightly regulated our stock market is, it's now battling to stay up and moving sluggishly trying to regain momentum instead of correcting.

A correction would have triggered upward momentum quickly.

Nigeria stock market is the safest in the world in my opinion.

ogawisdom:
What is cooking in NAHCO, hmmm may go on full bid today

My prediction

1 for 5 bonus
10 naira dividend

This should take it to 250 easily

NAHCO is overbought already. Expect the inevitable.

EquityM:
The market is on now. I sold the EWY for a higher price today; it is volatile like crypto.

Nice portfolio you have here.

You definitely gonna smile as long as you holding for a long time.

Creditalerts:
no wam you na correct person,one good thing about nairaland even when I block @Iamblessed8888 the local champion 🤣offline I still dey read him post chai. @equitym go still dey read my post offline🤣🤣I no hate am as he bring sword me I carry RPG 🤣🤣 ONE LOVE ALWAYS

This your last line just make me laugh fall 😂.

You too much bros.

EquityM:
Bro, most of the ETS are down for now; only Silver and State Street Energy are doing well, and yesssss, it pays a huge dividend quarterly.

They are all down for a reason. The Equity space is currently unpredictable.

But I just admire your appetite for taking risks. Of course, the higher the risk, the higher the reward.

Me I'm just following the market with the mathematics of market calculations.

EquityM:
Alright, chief. Oil has been skyrocketing for weeks now; I might dive into the oil ETF I told you yesterday to take some profit and head out once the war cools down.

You just can't let it goooo eventhough you are late comer to that ETF (state Street Energy right)?

😂😂😂😂😂

Proceed with caution but keep an eye on the news and oil market after you buy in.

Even if it crashes in the future, you can still be enjoying dividend while holding on to it.

EquityM:
He got pissed because I told a retiree not to dive into equity funds. As rewarding as it might be in the long run, I will never even allow my parents to invest in it except for stocks and MMF; even fixed income is a no-go area. I will keep blocking him until Nairaland ceases to exist.

Boss, abeg, let's squash this.

No throw shots again abeg. Everything happened out of miscalculation and misconstrued thoughts.

No vex my Chief, Dooh

The main and common enemy here is poverty, let's all join hands to keep defeating it.

Chief, my hands in the air for you too as we conclud this chapter.

Thanks bros

Creditalerts:
my brother good day to you,I was being constructive before the low sef esteem equitym started talking from both side of his vocal cavity then I have to put him to his place,he ran away by blocking himself ,🤣I'm not against equity investors but putting it right is what he fails to do,tell people the truth[high risk] mostly new investors I don't care how much u make from it✌🏾

Bros no vex abeg.

Make let peace reign and just focus on each of our investment.

You be boss, EquityM too na boss.

If we come dey measure d!c k-length for public, na paramount disgrace be that.

Abeg boss, no throw shot again abeg. I go still go beg EquityM too make he shelt him sword.

Happy Investing.

My one and only Chief, hands in the air for you.

Creditalerts:
I'm ready why running aways from a constructive and real argument?u feel defeated ? U are arguing with me ur uncle equitym 🤣🤣

My Chief, I greet you?

Who make you vex this morning? abeg make we settle this matter.

Everyone is a legit investor but with different risk appetite.

Chief, you just dey bomb the whole place like US/Isreal dey do Iran now.

Remember say, the common enemy is poverty shey?

Na that poverty gan gan, everybody get beef with, so make we join hands together defeat am.

How you reason am bros?

emmasoft:
@Beeron, I wrote about SFSREIT to buttress my earlier post on alternatives to mainstream investment windows. It's just to show that an alternative does exist to owning a physical property, not investment advice nor advertisement; investors are to always do their due diligence, which agrees with the industry standard.

No issues Chief but always include full disclosure such as the pros and cons because people follow you and rely on you for some key finance information.

I was highly disappointed seeing that post without no full disclosure.

What of UPDCREIT?

UPDCREIT has strong liquity but the market is a currently a blood bath.

Stay away from it too.

Good morning
Pls how does equity work can I loss all my money,the money is for survival of retired woman to be getting something monthly on it.I want to invest the 5m for her but want to know if it worth trying. Note I have been doing MMF and Tbill just want her to earn more as thing s are expensive

The very fact that you seeking information on how Equity work has ruled out why you shouldn't invest a retiree money into Equity because of insufficient knowledge you have about the investment.

That said; Retirees should never come near investment like Equity or stocks no matter the mood or regime of the market. I still have a feeling that pension fund will regret the decision to be allowed to invest part of their fund into stocks.

No matter how you see it; and the experiment has been carried out time and time again; Stocks or crypto investment is a bubble, it will eventually burst at some point and the market will reset itself again and new investors enter the market.

A retiree doesn't have that luxury of time to wait out the market nor do they have that extra cash to do Naira/dollar cost averaging.

Simply put, when the bubble bust at some point and all stocks are down in the Equity fund, what do you want the retiree to do?

Will she not continue to be managing the little income from she gets from fixed income investment like MMF?

The best investment strategy for older folks is compounding in fixed income type investment like MMF and Bond fund, if Equity should be considered, probably 10% of capital they are willing to lose if the bubble burst.

Fine, MMF and Bond fund don't beat inflation sometimes but, retiree are trying preserving wealth not trying to actively accumulate wealth.

If you have 5 million, Invest 4 million into MMF, 1 million into Equity, whatever returns equity brings in a month (don't withdraw) but mentally or on paper, it will be added to the predictable returns from MMF. Now, something like a balanced portfolio. That returns from Equity will then be withdrawn only when she has an emergency to deal with but don't want to touch MMF investment money.

I see SFSREIT being advertised on here, BE VERY CAREFUL to invest in that.

It's isn't about going into the market, Question you should ask yourself is: can you freely exit when you need money?

SFSREIT is not liquid enough.

Be very careful.

EquityM:
I didn't buy gold, bro. I bought silver instead, and it's kind of doing well. Check this oil ETF, is it a good buy, the State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF? "I was the one advising my friend, lol."

This one you wish to get information about looks so overbought, people massively began buying this stock even before the war broke out.

I won't advise you to go in as you will be catching a falling knife if one of the following happens:

1 - oil price crash back to 70 or 80 dollar per barrel.

2 - Trumps reached a truce with Iran.

3 - Trump seek an off-ramp.

4 - Iran open the hormuz straight.


But then again, it could keep going insanely high if the war intensify.

Again, you have the final say. But I would advise you chill and don't make a move now. Just keep circling around it like a lion intimidating its prey.

EquityM:

Congratulations; IRAN war just granted you a discount on this ETF. Just say thank you to IRAN and Trump as you buy this ETF.

Be READY to hold for long and be ready to make oil money too.

EquityM:
How are you, bro? Just discussing ETFs to dive in with my friends.

Your friend is right. Buy oil related ETF if any. But sadly, most stock market globally are trending down.

I laugh when people here on Nairaland say, war is affecting Nigeria stock market.

Nigeria stocks market isn't affected by the middle East war because Nigeria stocks is dominated by local retail investors.

For your foreign portfolio; If you have access to buy Russian oil ETF, that's where the money is now. I wish i have access to a platform to enable me access Russia trading ETFs.

Other than oil; don't buy anything for now.

Wait until Trump fully commits to this war by putting boots on the ground and going into Iran or if he will seek an off-ramp.

The reason is: you can't just be buying anything any how now, the market globally is thrown into turmoil and confusion, wait it out till Brent Crude reaches it's peak. Even precious metals like gold is loosing rapidly, I warned you against it when you first showed me your portfolio but you went ahead to buy into it.

Hold on for now, global market is chaotic now.

Will respond on this much later...my brain isn't booting my favorite discusssion international relations at the moment

Lemme reserve this space

lol it's geo-politics not international relations but it's necessary you stay informed if you want to win in the stock market space long time.

I dabbled into geo-politics since 2019, ever since, it has made the world look like a small place for me to mentally grasp. And it's fun because it makes you understand Game theory, world economies and macros.

Fun fact: one story that still sound crazy to me in all years of listening to goe-politics is the story of how Mao Zadong travelled to Russia to meet Stalin for biletaral talk.

When he arrived at Russia, it took him 3 weeks to finally meet Stalin at Stalin Dacher residence. Crazy because Mao Zadong overthrew and chased away previous China rulers from China to now Taiwan before he took over power, only to be treated like that by Stalin.

welzyj2:
Ok...but this story of Herbert Wigwes properties in UK I feel it can affect Access figures next week

People are connecting plenty dots...just saying

How can a dead man scandal of the past affect the reality of today?

He isn't Michael Jackson who was still raking in Billions after death and went on to be the richest celebrity dead.

Smattrader:
@I desire to learn how to understand, read, and set of candle stock chart like you.

It's simple but you will have to loose a lot of money first in the process of trading to gain first hand experience to be good at it.

That's the sacrifice I paid.

Bluearrow:
US is gradually reaching that point
Right now they have no choice than to put boot on ground. If Iran continue to block strait of homuz, the US & NATO will have no choice than to invade Iran. That will be the only solution with the way things are going. Iran is a stubborn country & will not easily give up, the US & Israel will never allow Iran to continue with their nuclear program, at least not for now. If Iran continue to block strait of homuz, US will be forced to go hard on Iran which seem inevitable at this point.

The mood in Kremlin and in Beijing will be very high and elated once U.S commits to this war and U.S can only commit to the war by calling in tens of thousands of troops, Not mere 5000 assault marines squad.

5000 marines were only sent to seize karga Island or other Island near the strait.

Myself, I can't wait for the U.S to fully commit to the war and truly face a real war since WW2.

Iran doesn't need to win, it just have to survive and if it can do that while pinning down down the U.S in war of attrition.

Trump will get impeached during the mid term election.

All my analysis is based on Game Theory and historical patterns. So myself, Putin and Xi will be looking at it plays out.

welzyj2:
The moment boots on the ground is justifiable by USA that's the beginning of the end for Iran from my perspective.

If I were Iran, would come to the discussion table but with 1 condition- freedom to continue my nuclear program, but will allow monitoring by a 3rd party.

Iran holds better chips now, its just best to play the right cards now before there is a valid reason for full invasion

Boot on the ground is the worst case scenario for the U.S.

You don't win war with mere boots on the ground, you win war with uninterrupted supply lines. This is why the U.S has not committed to putting boots on the ground. Because logistically, it will be nightmare for them. Iran already hit USS Abraham Lincoln with drone, so Aircraft carrier can come close at all and U.S has still not achieved air superiority over Iran air space because my man Vladimir Vladimirmorich Putin quickly sent Iran S400 air defenses system via the Caspian sea 2 weeks ago. Massive shout out and props to Putin

U.S cannot successfully invade Iran which is larger than Europe with mere 5 thousand Marines being sent to the middle East. When U.S invaded Iraq, they went in with 10,000 troops, but Iran is 3 times larger then Iraq. Iran IRGC soldiers are well prepared and over 1 million plus the terrain is in their favor which is why in the battle of Iraq and Iran, the Iraq couldn't capture Iran.

Trump shouldn't has started this war, of course, he was lured into it by Nathanyahu — but that was a massive miscommunication only because they had the perfect opportunity to take out the Ayatollah.

This is a battle of survival for Iran, existential battle. But for Trump, it's a war of choice. And keep in mind;

Do you know Iran isn't Arab?

Iran is Persia, they only changed their name to Iran during the era of first World war.

Go read the history of Persia going to War and go read the history of U.S wars.

U.S has never won a war since the second war, it only go in to topple regime of countries. Vietnam gave them a good fight, they fled. Even that WW2 was won by the Soviet Union because Soviet captured Berlin first.

Much respect to General Zhukov of the Soviet Union, the General who got to Hitler first.

U.S is an Empire if Lies and will do anything to maintain that Empire which was built by petrodollar and moreon Doctrine.

Why does Nato exist?

To fight Russia? Why? Because Russia are Slavics who knows nothing but to fight wars.

In Europe, when it comes to fashion, it's France, when it comes to Food, it's Italy but when it comes to war, it's the Russians.

This is why U.S will ever consider Russia as an event and threat to its hegemony, same with China for their economical dominance.

Nobody loves this U S getting stuck in a long way more than Putin and Xi. Shout out to those wise men trying to challenge the rule base order to create a multipolar world.

Thanks

Fidelity (I can buy easily at 19n but the continuous downward trend since the day of their all time high is my reason for holding on)

UBA as well but I do not align with their 46.60 naira. Tried buying at 45 this week but no luck.

Wanting to tie some cash here before dividend gets declared

Also, there have been rumors or possibilities of another recapitalization threshold any thoughts around this

Both Fidelity and UBA are still weak from the February bull run. Don't waste your time on them for now. However UBA attempted to begin recovery last week but the market lacked volume.

I can guarantee you of one bank stock for next week.

Access holding, accumulate that stock and smile next week.

welzyj2:
It's in everyone's interest for a mutual agreement btw the waring parties. But I still envisage some more bombings by USA & Israel to force Iran to the negotiation table

If bombing won war, Russia would have won Ukraine war, WW2 wouldn't have required the intervention of multiple allies to take on one Hitler.

The war will be won by who holds the most leverage. Iran currently holds the most leverage that's why Trump is mostly making decisions out of frustration because he doesn't have leverage.

welzyj2:
Learning and readjusting. I was on 30+ ROI last week but ended the week 25% as at today

I feel the war has its impact, also the bull season is easing. Companies with strong fundamentals are the best bet for investors till another big bull season starts again

Silver is actually a better option and very stable investment. Many people don't pay attention to silver due to it being seen in the public as the junior to Gold and diamonds

Italians trade silver more. I follow some jewelers on IG. Small thing you hear 'mazalitto'😂😂
