angelo82: From the little that I know about FBN shares,majority of the people holding their shares won't sell them and First Registrars knows that........They even complain in one of their articles...... But there are so many offers for the stock. They need not consider that if they really want to repurchase some of their shares. Investors are happy to hear an announcement of share buyback because it will add value to their holdings. |

donmarshia: What is really happening to FBN holdings? Everybody feels this stock is fundamentally undervalued, yet it keeps losing value by the day.
I need an answer! angelo82: I don't know why also because seems to me like the safest stock in Nigeria and the only one that I have made profits in the past and even minimized risk during the crisis time compare to UBA,UBN and some other banking stocks.... So why are they not announcing a share buy-back if they feel the stock is undervalued? Could it be that the coy itself is scared of the NSE? Perhaps, there are better things to do with funds than buying back their own shares. |

angelo82: A lot of people especially some of us outside the country are going through the same problem....And because of not getting my dividend,I stopped my investment in stocks until recently due to the revolution of online stockbroking.....I have been able to get my dividend from UBA covering 8yrs and African Prudential acted swiftly and everything was done via email......My issue is now First Registrars as I have submitted all documents to them through my brother in Nigeria because they asked for hard copies....They confirmed the receipt of the documents and that they will pay but I am expecting that by now my account should be credited but nothing yet....Please do you know why the delay and when they will pay my outstanding dividend?....Thesame goes for ETI Dollars denominated share.... Has it been up to a week since they confirmed receipt? If yes, they may have forgotten about you. You may have to give them a reminder and a phone call to the registrars would be better. Mine was done over the phone. Good luck. |

walcolm: Nah, I can assure you the bank will only give you your 12% less their own service charge and keep the difference for themselves petikal: Depends on the bank, some are more transparent than the other and have integrity to maintain. 12% is minimum bid you specified, not maximum. So, legally, you should get the bank's winning bid (if it's higher) and they're usually not far off from CBN stop rate. If you submit your bid to your bank and gave an instruction that you are bidding at NOT LESS THAN a certain amount, you will get that amount and nothing more. Assuming you asked your bank to bid for you at a rate not less than 10% and you're successful, what you will get is 10% (if your bank actually submitted your bid in the PMA). In the auction market, bids have to be exact. There is nothing like "AT LEAST 10%" otherwise everyone would bid at "at least 1%" and expect to get their bank rate (banks no be maga na). However, if you say to your bank that you want a rate not less than 10% and eventually get more than 10% from them, this simply means they may have sold for you from their successful bid. |
Investment › Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Elai147: 12:30pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
walcolm: so does that mean if you bid 12% for a 91-day bill but CBN accepts 13.5% for the same bill, the bank will book you at 13.5%? petikal: Yes, 13.5% minus the bank service fee. In the PMA, everyone gets their quoted bid rate. You can only get CBN's stop rate when your bid equals the stop rate. Using @Walcom's post above as a case in point, you get 12% since your bid is less than the stop rate. This is how it is done in Naija. Meanwhile, I was told that in some developed countries, everyone gets the CBN's stop rate as long as your bid is not higher than the stop rate (don't know how true though). |

Chibuking81: It is a broad daylight robbery for Oando to sell their right issue above the market price, which I know that no body is ready to buy, unless the company categorically tell the investors that, there will be 1-1 bonus after the right issue base on the stated date for qualification of right issue. I think they already have investors that will buy up these rights. These guys don´t give a fvck about shareholders. |

bigjay01: If FBNH (an indeed others) really believe their shares are selling well below book value, why can't they buy them back at ~N9 and sell back to the market (via rights/PO) after the allowable period? We hardly hear anythng like share-buyback in Naija because even the listed coys don´t trust the NSE otherwise why won´t they buy back their shares if they believe the shares are greatly undervalued? |

MOBBDEEP: Pls, can someone kindly help me with this enquiry. Is the same rate applied for all customers irrespective of their agents/banks? I saw a post above me quoting 9.9% whereas another person posted 10.05-13.4% Why the difference? No. Bids that are equal to or lower than the CBN´s stop rate will be successful. So it actually depends on your bid. |
Investment › Re: Nigerian Stock Exchange Market Pick Alerts by Elai147: 7:35pm On Dec 05, 2014 |
Elai147: I agree with you since it is cheaper to buy on the floor (except there is something else we're missing). However, if the right issue were to be a normal one unlike Oando's own, buying the equivalent units of your right from the floor @market price will not stop the dilution on your previous holding. kotlass: Master, you lost me here. Mathematically, it will. Charlesnerd: Mathematically,it will. Just that you would have to pay more than you would, if you had gone for the rights which normally trades at a discount to the market price. My bad. Mathematically it will. What I really wanted to mention was that you cannot maintain the value of your holding without further expense if the rights were issued at the usual great discount hence, the bold phrase in my post above. Thanks |

petikal: The current rates are still conservative, should be over 14%. CBN can't devalue Naira by over 8%, increase borrowing rate, and not adjust TB rate accordingly. Economically it doesn't make sense. True talk. Very soon the rates will get there. |

walcolm: dilution means your percentage holding will be reduced....for me the only advantage rights issue brings is that it reduces my cost of purchase...unfortunately, Oando has priced this right issue above the current market price which is not a good sign
i will rather buy the no of units i'm entitled to on the floor of the exchange than buy my rights at a higher price I agree with you since it is cheaper to buy on the floor (except there is something else we're missing). However, if the right issue were to be a normal one unlike Oando's own, buying the equivalent units of your right from the floor @market price will not stop the dilution on your previous holding. |

ausdy: brother pls I'm very interested to know more about this very issue as I have few shares with them and I don't think I can buy this offer. Pls can you shed more light on the (dilution) matter? Thanx so much. The dilution means the percentage of your holdings in the company is now reduced. Assuming the company has 1 billion outstanding shares and you own 100 million shares of it, this means your holding in the company is 10%. If the company is issuing 500 million shares in the form of rights, the total outstanding shares will now be 1.5 billion meaning your holding has now reduced to 6.7% (assuming you didn't take up your right). But if you took your right at the given ratio, your holdings will not be diluted because you will still own 10% of the company. Rights are usually issued at a discount to current market price of the stock but I don't know what Oando is doing and cannot categorically tell you why the right is being issued above current market price. This should be a question for either the gods or our ogas in NSEMPA. Please I am not saying you should take up your right or that you may be getting a bargain if you take up the right. I was only trying to describe the rationality behind taking up ones right as asked by Omoxonomy. The decision lies with you as the shareholder after your due diligence. You need to ask yourself why the company has decided to raise money by issuing more shares and diluting your holdings. There must be a reason (financial difficulties or expansion, perhaps) why the company needs money. If the shareholders decide to take up these rights, whether the company will use the money for the purpose it was meant for is another question for the gods. There is also a question of what the ex-right value of your shares will be as the share price is expected to drop after the right issue to reflect the newly issued shares at the "supposed" discount. These are part of the due diligence you do before deciding whether to take, abandon or sell your right. |

FranklinRich: I am not sure I understand what the companies are manipulating. From the little I know, Book value is a function of a company's net assets and outstanding number of shares which are balance sheet items. There are many cases of financial manipulation all over the world market and so many ways of perpetrating it. We should employ extreme caution while conducting our so-called fundamental analysis. Some of us (including me) use this type of analysis to make investment decisions and think we know what we are doing but the truth is far from that when we consider our investment environment. |
Investment › Re: Nigerian Stock Exchange Market Pick Alerts by Elai147: 3:58pm On Dec 04, 2014 |
Omexonomy: please house let us subject this to rational scrutiny. Why will any sane person take up such right issue when the cost of buying it on the floor is 2naira difference? Any reason whether good or bad are wellcome. If you do not buy at all or take up your right, your stake in the company will be diluted. That's the rationality behind it. |

Properties › Re: Build A New House Vs Buy A New House by Elai147: 8:30pm On Nov 25, 2014 |
I think it is better to build instead of buying. Some of my reasons are:
You can build to your taste. If you lack the time and knowledge, you can employ a building contractor to do it for you with proper supervision from a third party as you would do if physically present.
Risk factor. Considering a hypothetical case of buying a house worth N50 million and realising you have been swindled regardless of the due diligence made before purchase. If you were to build within a time frame of say 2 to 5 years and eventually bought from a fraudulent schemer, chances are that before you finish moulding the required blocks for the project or even spending up to N50 million- the hypothetical worth of the project- the real owners will come knocking on your door. This way, you save yourself some money that would have been lost if you had bought the house. In essence, it is riskier buying than building.
Some tend to buy and adjust to their taste at a later stage. However, there are some corrections that are near impossible to make- for example, if the problem starts from the foundation except you are planning to demolish and rebuild which is a waste of money. Buying an uncompleted building has the same risk- you have no idea what foundation the house was built on. Remember, foundation is the most concealed part of a building. |

It varies, depending on CBN's stop rate for that particular auction. The rate you get today for a 91-day Tbill may be different from what you will get in the next auction or after maturity.
