Funny joke!

I am starting to feel that PET bottles will be in high demand soon, so who are the major pet bottle manufacturers and how can we get a bite at them.

How about canning as an option, what of can beers, can coke? What do you guys think?

If i were you, I would manage it myself. If you are in Abuja, deal with an Abuja brokerage firm.

Are we sure Dangote flour is not stealing their market shares already (Flour mills) what was their turnover like to compare last half year?

That NAFDAC policy against bottled drinks, how can it affect bottling companies like NBC and NBL,7up Guinness etc and their operations, can this affect their operations negatively. What of its effects on profitability?

I forgot to add that CPL produces crown corks for the bottled products, I dont know how truthful it is but the source insists that CPL also produces crowns for 7up, Guinness etc.

Does anyone know how truthful that is?

I also heard that they(NBC) owns CPL, crown products limited at Ijebu Ode.

@wanajo, I have enjoyed some quick profits from unity bankn so you can understand my belief, got in at 5.50, got bonus, sold at 8.08 three months later.

As for the chain in NBC, NBC owns a substancial stake in Beta glass, AG Leventis of course owns a majority of NBC shares and so the all attend the same meetings.

@tiwantiwa, my conservative 'guesstimate' is N10 by Q1 2008. This is a bank that has a point to prove. I loved their move of not issuing dividends this yr. It may add to their capital and swell profits for next financial year. And did you see their last result? Impressive I must say.

If AG leventis gets to N5, i will offlloadn, bought at N3.46 and has my eye on unity bank especially now it is heading down.

The only thing I noticed from reading that business day news is that South Africans are trying to form a cartel here, watch it, they are selling part of MTN, an SA company, through another SA bank IBTC, (owned by Stanbic) and advertising it through an SA affiliated newspaper, business day. Is it healthy for our business environment, who can tell? And to think our guys are begging to get there and slave for them, while they raid the companies here for wealth?

Watch the links.

Public offers have been a no go for me since this year, I had shunned all of them, and I now see I am correct to do so. Though there are some very good ones, the thing that annoys me most is the delay; I can get better deals from the secondary market.

I am expecting to see some rise in the shares of IBTC, this is because the changes that will occur in their business operations as a result of their synergy with Stanbic is expected to be in the positive. However it is not all up hill as it may go down a bit before the climb.

Also taking their last result as a basis for analysis, and putting their 18.5 b shares into consideration, the p/e will be around 50 something, looks high to me.

What do the gurus here think before I go ahead and load this one?

@NBA, Roughcut, thanks guys, I actually started here, then had to stay at the other side for long. Much respects to the much respected gurus here. Your incisive analysis cannot pass unnoticed, I will even suggest Yar Adua includes your names in the next MON, OFR, GCFR, ETC ETC awards.

You people are doing too much to lift the ignorance and poverty off our people.

@Pumping, I had to migrate here with you guys, its good to have dual citizenship

NBC climbed by N2.37 today, seems their results will be juicy.

Personally, I don't think this is the right time to buy ashaka stock, with performance dropping and narrow margins, I will wait for a further drop before buying the stock.

@panadol we are reviewing the price of the offer at 16 naira and not 11.74k am in a dillema now as I don't know either to sell my 50 k units or wait, does anyone in da house have reasons to believe this stock will pay me more if I hold on a bit longer without selling my holdings? Response awaited.

Proffesional writer, who is helping to rid our society of bad eggs. His action is commendable.

This may do more harm than good, since the local economy which we have been trying to nurture will now fight for dear life against the cheap cement imported from asia. Short term the prices may crash, while long term the economy will suffer. Now what will outsiders think of us, a people with a lot of polcy inconsistency, which will harm their future business.

Why are we wasting time debating who should be richest man, someone should call Bill or Carlos and beg the two of them to come here and give us power supply, since our PHCN is dead, whoever responds first should be trully installed to be worlds richest!

I don't know if it was luck or the way its supposed to be, but I opened a stockbroking account and was sent a cscs number and a clearing house number to my phone as text. Since then I have been receiving alerts from cscs whenever I buy shares from the secondary market.am enjoying the notifications, kind of helps me confirm purchases. Meanwhile I don't pay any charges.

But can anyone provide answers why the stock suddenly turned and started heading down inspite of this rusal rumour.

If the proponents on the side of access as being a good offer are serious on the N4.42 discount, then what can we say of FBN, a more sound bank with a discount of N 7.40 ?

Good point yr making, but was it really necessary starting another thread on this topic since one is running already ?

Corruption is the dirtiest disease worrying this country, worse than AIDS,leprosy and any other smelly thing you can think of.
Its the reason why we are so poor, and the cycle of poverty cannot be broken unless the perpetrators of these evil acts are brought to book.
I dont care what name you choose to call it, it can be govt. embezzlement, 419, pick pockets, over invoicing, contract scams or even stealing a cube of maggi. They are all bad things that should only be abhorred.

419 is dirty and no matter how the perpetrators want to explain it away by masking the name as reparation, or a means of survival, it will continue to be evil. An armed robber and a prostitute may have their reason for getting into the crime they commit, but that will never make the larger society to view the crime with any less apathy.

For the yahoo boys, continue to ply your trade, there's always the long arm of the law to catch you. But your concience will turn out to be your worst punisher. Ask all other crooks how they feel.

And you even said you wish me a prosperous future? well how about that after your hot words! My post is innocent enough.

I have made hundreds prosperous already so I guess the prosperity you are wishing will go on to bless more of our people. Thanks all the same.

[b]Just learn to tone down your responses and re-read posts before opening fire, all things in this country are just beautiful, we are having the fun of our lives and thats why I can afford to sit here in Nigeria and joke about many things. There's water, good roads, light etc.
Yes let me use simple language for people like pmdabor who cannot understand riddles.[/b]Its a nice country for all serious people. All are invited including - yes YOU.

Pmdabor, I am not bitter in the least, you simply did not understand my style of writing in that post. I was using opposites to ask the guy to come in if he is serious.

On success, things really did work out for me big time and you need to know just how prosperous who you are writing about is. But I think we are digressing.

You are supposed to feel more ashamed because you even sound much more rude and bitter than I did. You sound pissed off about something else?

Like I said earlier, I was using opposites to add humour to the whole write up instead of sounding as if we are begging him to come and help us here.

Just when I think the country is getting better and we wre going to start enjoying life like other countries, due to improved economic conditions, and these Jamaicans and South Africans and Indians, Chinese will start to form a queve to struggle for the opportunity here.

Well I have news for you, I was given a raw deal which left me penniless and frustrated when I tried to live abroad.
So now am here, let all of you guys stay put in your country.

Infact there are no roads here, no water, light goes off every two minutes, I can go on and on and on.

So Jamaican, relax in Jamaica or did you say Uk?

Iam amazed at you guys trying to sing other peoples praises with the preciuos time you should have used to get in the list yourself !

Next time this list is reviewed, I will be in it.

The service you are offering seems good enough, more so as most broking firms lack the time and attention to attend to their clients.

I doubt if there is any stockbroker with enough time to explain the nitty-gritty of investments to new clients. They are only concerned with cashing your cheque and proceeding to the trading floor.

So try to do some research that will draw clients to you since some of the services you listed is already being offered by others for free.
