It simple capex and opex.

If you manage a huge company, you will know what that means.

In in a relationship, you price in opex most times, when you do that, you can't grow.

But after breakup.

Opex becomes easy to manage and have enough resources (time and money) for capex, then growth will happen.


Like i said, it you don't manage a company or in the finance world, you won't understand this.

Just copy this to your ai chat bot and tell it to explain to you further.

Talking stage leading up to the date, telling me things your ex can do more than me or what your ex have more than me.

That's a NO - NO, you clearly not over your ex and will likely go back to him when given the chance and opportunity. Or worst case scenario, I risk fathering your ex child when you eventually cheat on me with him and pin the pregnancy on me.

Hear me out son.

If you force yourself to live the life of a minimalist and throwing all the money saved from being a minimalist into a money mutual fund account.

Your 30s will be a lot easier and that will enable you take more risk into other investments like stocks or Equity mutual funds.

If you can be disciplined in compounding your savings in mmf and taking some MMF interest to trade stocks while keeping your regular job. Life wouldn't be so challenging what you get married and taking on more responsibilities because — you will now be beating Nigeria inflation on the steady meaning your salary (no matter how small it is) will not be under pressure.

In your 40s, being a minimalist and a serial investor and taking on your family responsibilities, trust me, if you stumble onto a sudden wealth of lump sum, you won't think to japa, because you have a strategy to survive in Nigeria already. (Yes, I know some rich folks japa for security reasons too)

However, then in your 50s and 60s, look into building a fixed assets from what you have accumulated so far only if you can afford to. If you can't build but the money stays invested, it's still a win - win situation because you not struggling in life either and can afford to see your kids through school. And still have back up money for retirement.


Everything was possible just because you decided to be a minimalist from your 20s. That one decision will change your life direction for financial stability regardless of how much you earn presently.

How the NGX traded today.

sakaida1125:
spot on about that AI infra shift mate. when US tech starts taking a breather, rotating into the underlying plumbing like chips, grid power and data centres is way safer for the long term. u can literally see the exact same sector rotation playing out on the NGX between big banks and telecom heavyweights. catching how smart money rotates during volatility beats getting chopped up in the daily noise any day. solid breakdown as always.

Good analysis you made here. You sound like an analyst and one who is experienced.

Good to have you here partner.

How the NGX traded today.

It will be quite unfortunate and sad seeing an innocent beginner investor rushing to buy Firstholdco not knowing that they are buying the top.

It's a brand new trading week. Let me drop this tip. You will need it.


It an unwritten rule for the stock market:

1. If the price drops 10%, just hold.
2. If the price drops 20%, add 10%.
3. If the price drops 30%, add 30%.
4. If the price drops 40%, add 30%.
5. If the price drops 50%, add 50%.
6. If the price rises 10%, just hold.
7. If the price rises 20%, still hold.
8. If the price rises 30%, sell 10%.
9. If the price rises 40%, sell 20%.
10. If the price rises 50%, sell 30%.
11. If the price rises 60%, sell 40%.
12. If the price rises 100%, sell everything.

Save it, because trust me, you will need it.

NIGERIA STOCK MARKET REPORT & THIS NEW WEEK UPDATE



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OhD5XYFSmk

So from the look of things, AI has created a new investment battle: The winners may NOT only be companies building AI, naah.

The winners may be companies providing:
chips,
electricity,
data centres,
cloud services.

So why is this important; If you investing in the U.S stocks, these are the sectors you should be investing in.

Oppsss I forgot to add; Cyber security and software infrastructure.

Even though there are some truths here but this amount of distrust for the Nigeria market is bad for potential foreign investors, atleast we now know the mindset of some foreign investors.

Okay so this is a funny one?

Google has been in profit since the Q3 of 2025 yet, it's succumbing to the pressure of Nasdaq correction. The big question is why?

The answer is simple FEAR.

At the beginning of July i noticed a new rally forming on Amazon, I was hesitant and gave it time, then proceeded to run the numbers and figured it was a bull trap forming. Now Even though Amazon fundamental was good for April, i just couldn't rule out the fact that Nasdaq was about to correct. Thank goodness, i didn't recommend Amazon in my group.

popoolaRofiat:
Next week will change positively.

I can't even doubt this one bit. Especially if MTN, GTCO or ZENITH pull some weight, even one of them is enough to energize strength into the market next week.

This concluded week, i noticed Insurance sector showed selective strength; CUSTODIAN +10%, NEM +10%

About ASI.

From what I am seeing... There is still a tug of war between sellers and buyers in the NGX market, on some days buyer will win in some selected sectors and in some other days seller will win in some other sectors.


Firstholdco, access, UBA, these banking stocks has all been responsible for putting up a good fight to lift the ASI.


By next next week. We need the intervention of MTN, Zenith and GTCO.

If those 3 can assist by next week, real bullish momentum will be confirmed in the NGX.

This was how the week finished yesterday 24/July.

Now I didn't see it coming that presco would sell off that much yesterday. It has been on consolidation for so long that most people were buying. From all indications, an hedge fund did the sell off of yesterday.

a follow up to my analysis.

With the few activities of recent days, rapid Volume gain and loss, tells us one story. Accumulation is on going. And this could be done by whales and institutional buyers. They doing it in such a way that it won't move price much and at the same time defend the price from dropping further.

If more whales/institutional funds continues like this, confidence could quickly be restored in the market. Regardless there is still fear fever in the market.

A follow up to my analysis.

The bull is still not yet confirmed. What is on going is accumulation, it's unknown who are accumulating right now (retail, institutions, whales, governments , hedge fund etc)

What if these guys suddenly stop and more people don't buy into the speculative hype then you will be bull trapped and btc might pull back again.

Price action isn't everything there is to trading. Trading is psychology.

Patience is key to really confirm the real direction.

This guy sef, must you get involved in every disagreement?

A follow up to my BTC update.

I still maintain that this is a cautious optimism market. We need sustainable volume to move the market but what I have seen so far in the past days is volume swing in for a quick pump and dump and move out. Overall the market is still fearful and scared money don't make no money.

If it remains this way — a painful consolidation or a pull back is likely.

Update!

Cautious optimism still on going but sadly, volume is dropping.

Since volume precedes price, it's really not a good new.

Hey bro, in your free time, kindly look at these stocks; they are crazier and give better returns than KORU. CSOP is my recommendation for quick profit, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics is good to hold for a longer period.

CSOP happens to be an asset management firm that came up with an Equity mutual fund that only picks only semiconductors stocks.

They only started last year 2025 and if you go back in time, you will realize that the AI/semiconductors bubble began to gain serious traction last year.


What's even more worrying for me is that; since this guys listed; their stock has never corrected because the AI bubble is still ongoing.

It's a gamble entering such a stock for me. Massive gamble because you will be the one giving early investors profit and buying a weak position.

This woman just exposed my trade strategy.

Understand the basics.
Don’t chase a moving train.
Whatever that goes up must surely come down.

Who can give me idea how to convert my crypto holdings to my bank account. I dont trust p2p. The money is much. I am liquadating everthing from binance and other exchange. I am tired of crypto. I no do again.

Why not try investing in stocks instead, since you have the risk appetite for crypto, investing in stocks is not as volitile as crypto.

Give it a shot — Try large cap Nigeria stocks for compounding purpose and try U.S stocks for fast returns purpose.

megawealth01:
There will be a serious bear soon

seeing that volume is dropping. Pull back is likely or pain staking consolidation at this level except volume comes back quickly, if it doesn't come, we are likely to see either of that two happen.
