Niiade: I have a new one in stock, Holla 08025140064

Xyge: Hello Bro, where do i get the stocks from? I mean the Okomu Oil and the latter? Where and how do i go about buying these stocks.. Thanks.

2ndOGA: Which Stock Broker has a better online platform between Meritrade, Investment One and BGL? I'm looking at going for one of these

I'm also looking to purchase Bonds, can anyone shed some light on the procedure?

edwill: Oh thanks so much for ur response. I did not lodge the certificate with cscs. & both the certificate and the account has not been used for transactions. it was a friend I gave money to buy the shares for me but he relocated after getting the certificate for me. then a broker met me and told me of the need to get a cscs account I accepted and he opened it but when stocks dropped, I think he left the business & relocated. but I am trying to contact him through facebook. The address I see on the certificate is that of afribank registrars. pls is the ”account number“ I see on the certificate same as cscs account? Once again, thanks.

edwill: thanks a million for ur explanation which I find very interesting, how I wish I had known this all along. I bought a thousand units of transcorp in 2007 & have left it at that till date. (it pain me that I did not buy more when it dropped to 0.50k). I got the certificate later and get someone to open a cscs account. he did and sent me the account number but I lost it and all efforts to contact him failed. is there any other way I can get the number and continue to invest? thanks

ugo41babe: Pls how does one withdraw his money or profit from meritrade?

bintalabi: Civilserva you are such a wonderful person, thanks

You are welcomed.

Risk in investing on shares and dealing with stockbroker
Is it possible for a stockbroker to sell my shares without informing me?and what will I do

Well every business has its own risk, making a well informed decision on share purchase will minimize the risk. That's exactly what this thread will address. A broker selling your share without telling you means he is engaging in fraudulent activity. Whenever the illegal transaction is detected, tell the broker to reverse the transaction within 24 hours or you take it up with the NSE and SEC. He will be punished and blacklisted. Above all, don't have any fear of loosing your investment through illegal transaction, the law is there to protect you.

Thanks

emmanuel ewumi: You are on your own, BGL is the issuing house to the right offer of Transcorp. Tony once worked at BGL, before he was seconded to Crystal bank that later turned to standard trust bank, which later merge with UBA. Tony is a shareholder in BGL, BGL can not give you an unbiased analysis about Transcorp

bintalabi: list the good ones that are present in Ibadan that I will appear physically

I don't really know brokers in Ibadan as i live in Lagos, why not ask friends in Ibadan

Will the 2% of the amount be deducted on every investment with the same stockbroker and company as you said one can buy even with 1k after opening the cscs account?

Yes, any number of times you buy or sell shares, you must pay commission. [/b]

Will the 2% be deducted again when I want to sell the shares?

[b]Whether you buy or sell shares, you pay commission, do not be scared about the commission you pay which is insignificant compared the amount of money you are likely to make from your investment. The hidden truth is that this commission can not sustain any stockbroking firm financially, that is why they also buy and sell shares for themselves.


How will I know if my stockbroker is carrying out fraudulent transaction on my share?

Once an account is opened for you, you'll receive CSCS account number through which you'll be alerted via SMS of every transaction that occurs in your account. Your stock broker has no control of SMS you recieve from CSCS. Whenever you receive alert of any transaction you never authorized, quickly ask him to reverse the transaction or else...

Pls let me know the likely risk I will bear


Throw more light, risk in investing on shares or dealing with Stockbrokers?

bintalabi: I want to invest the little money am earning before I graduate next year
Where and how do I buy shares?

You can buy through a registered stockbroker. Stockbrokers can be found in any state of the Federation. There are some with Online Trading platform where you carryout all your transactions without being physically present.

Stockbrokers help to buy and sell shares, how do they make profit for themselves?

Stockbrokers make money by charging you commission called brokerage for every transaction. You also pay commission to SEC and CSCS, the total commission is about 2% of the investing amount.

What is cscs account as u stated above and how does it works?

Central Securities Clearing System Ltd. (CSCS) is the clearing house for the Nigerian stock Exchange market. CSCS is an integrated central securities depository (CSD), a clearing (transfer of shares from seller to buyer) and settlement (payment for bought securities) service provider for all stock market transactions. All securities listed on the NSE’s must have their certificates deposited (electronically or physically) with CSCS before they can be bought or sold. It is the duty of your stock broker to register you with the CSCS and you will be given investors number and Clearing House Number that uniquely identifies you. With CSCS, your broker is not the custodian of your share as you can move your shares from one broker to the other.

Too much questions? Sorry, More to come

Help me with these ones first

bintalabi: My level of amateur is far less to what I'm seeing here
Where do I start self
Too much questions to ask

ihedioramma: WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT JAPAUL POST? IS IT IN YOUR PORTFO?

Dumexoga: Good morning my fellow nairalanders, it's good to be here. I strongly advice everyone here to consider japaul oil. That stock will shock people soon. At this current price, it's good for a discerning investor to take position. If you have been on this game for long, you will understand what I mean. Transcorp was at this same price some time ago, but check the difference today. I have already aquired millions of units, because I really made so much profit from transcorp.

Curious_city: Thanks a bunch. I will start getting requirements for maritrade and give them a trial.

SWG 1: don't u think ABC has a better liquidity and greater dividend yield than the rest @ it's current price

Heanry :
But since their is decrease in price of palm oil at the international market, don't you think the prices of these two stocks might still go down. I already have some units of okomu for long term.

phemmie06: Have you seen the recent result of okomu, the fundamental might be strong, but I guess the price will fall

Creamychic: Thanks a lot for this thread.

Happy Sunday!
