This should be very easy to answer since it was on the news then.

Who can tell me the prominent world leader that visited President Yar Adua at Aso rock on the 30th of February 2008?

@EASIMONI, I AM BEGINNING TO SUSPECT THAT MOST OF THESE COYS ARE RELEASING THEIR RESULTS TO COINCIDE WITH THE IMPENDING BULL RUN.

CCNN RELEASED THEIRS EARLY.

@PUMPING I AGREE WITH YOU BUT WITH THE BULL RUN PLUS D FACT DAT CCNN HAS D MOST CHEERING NEWS(SOME PROFIT) I EXPECT IT TO BE ON D UPWARD TREND.

I dont want to sound like a doubting Thomas but I think the bears are not finished yet. That stampede effect may likely continue untill all those that has made 'amu robber' profits will finsh their game. Nobody wants to see his or her spreadsheet profits varnish.

So the bulls may still wait untill I finish loading my trailer, then we can proceed to lake Chad.

But who should give the call for a suspension, SEC or NSE? If as I think it is SEC, then NSE has got on a collision course with their masters.

We neen conflicts like this to reassert authority flows and who should do what.

As unilever declared a 'little' dividend, which could be interpreted as not too good I was waiting for the stock to start moving up 5% everyday (since its the latest trend in the market) let us go out tomorrow and buy Unilever as this will make a very good candidate for CICO or REVERSE CICO as the case may be

Watch out for many many caveats on this one!

It seems selling UBA now makes some sense, since the banks that are supposed to declare results in feb, march are losing steam(GTB, FBN, Inter) how much more those that will declare results later in the year(UBA, Oceanic).

But later in the year banks will be pure 'cocaine' as most of them may pay fat dividends, think about N2.00 per share for grabs in some banks!   the thought is simply mouth watering.

The only thing that is still baffling me about MR Kola Karim is that he is still under 40! can you imagine how many companies he will be owning when he is 70. chei! . If I were him, I will build a large hall in my compound and be using it for board meetings! the guy fit dey hold two board meetings same day!

loma:
The guy also owns 40% stake in Premier Paints.

@Windy Wendy- Where is Kola going next No tell me say you no get crystal ball o! Just dig like you always do maam!

The crystal ball says Kola is aiming for a majority stake in Union homes, UAC properties (since na only building affiliations the guy dey buy) just kidding sha

@windy, no just try to frighten me about transcorp o. I loaded that one for a quick CICO, as you come dey suggest they should be suspended made me abandon my dinner

Abeg no let me sell in a hurry, chei! to make money no easi at all, except for Easimoni

@beginner, you dont change tactics this easy in this business. Before changing strategies, try to test the ropes with small portions of your folio. All the same this will serve to educate you the more and lets hope the impact of this will be as minimal as possible.

Hi great house member, am the greenest horn in this house so i really just read the post , try and learn from the elders (iba yin o!) and keep a low profile. How ever i need HELP!

I bought around 15k units of dangote flour and 9k units of Nacho through my broker Alliance Capital Management Company Ltd, however even though i have received the ridiculous allotment share certifiate for 945 units of Nacho my brokers keep on telling me they are yet to get my refund! Abeg am getting frustrated and really pissed, what can i do.

Also can anyone recommend a really great broker who handles both CICO and long term?

Thanks everyone, classes have been great!

most brokers who handl long time also handle cico, it only depends on the speed and expertise of the broker. also remember that all your success will depend on your own stock picking ability, as most brokers are only there to handle your buy/sell orders, not advice you on stocks to buy.

anyone else with me on the Ikeja hotels flight, it still seems this one has a long way to go. The stock seems headed to N15.

MTN Profit Little Changed; Subscribers Increase 53% (Update3)

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601116&sid=aXEvSrcOnOQc&refer=africa

March 19 (Bloomberg) -- MTN Group Ltd., Africa's largest mobile-phone company, said annual profit was almost unchanged as the end of a tax holiday in Nigeria eroded the benefit of a 53 percent increase in subscriber numbers.

Net income was 10.61 billion rand ($1.3 billion), or 5.59 rand a share, in the year ended Dec. 31, from 10.61 billion rand, or 5.89 rand, a year earlier, the Johannesburg-based company said in a statement to the city's stock exchange today. The tax rate increased to 39.5 percent from 17.6 percent as a five-year tax holiday in Nigeria ended.

I know it! MTN will try to reduce their profits and claim it was because tax is being collected from them in Nigeria. Asif they are not paying taxes in all the other countries they operate. If they dont want to pay the Nigerian government, they should walk out and allow VODACOM to come and run things here.

Even with the epileptic services they offer, their service is getting worse than NEPA own. Please let Vodacom com in and pay to Transcorp to run things here, at least Transcorp will also join to pay taxes to the federal govt.

SavvyLanre:
Na the second time wey that thing go happen be that o, it is either someone is playing mago mago at NSE, or someone wants people to sell so that there would be more on the floor. Me i dey hold kampe, for now.

@Aktopgun - abeg my brother, how do i upload pictures - i tire o, i thot i was savvy

As per the bid positions, authentic 'rumour' has it that the peeps working at it left for public holidays, UBA watch it!

aktopgun:
invisible man, u no need candles for that one na.   . na Ndidi dey control am!! it doesn't obey any technicals jare.

but sha, looking at the chart it has now risen above the price it was at pre TS and it has been doing 4-price doji for the last few days meaning the open, close,high and low prices are the same or virtually the same. normally, and i say normally because transcorp isnt normal, doji imply indecisiveness in the market and usually signify a change in trend from the trend occuring before the doji happened. however in transcorps case, only God knows because for all u know, it cold do doji for the next 2 weeks!!!

i am a bit skeptical about it as i am sure u can tell in my tone.

i will hand u over to the chairman of transcorp, Samstone  

Good man topgun, na only God will bless you.

samstone4:
@ AKT

You missed the inverted dragonfly, bruce lee, hirohito doji of Transcorp. Very careless and CHEEKY!

As I posted in response to Invisible, I think Transcorp is rising because of the imminent resolution of Nitel wahala. Likely to be on terms favourable to Transcorp.
Just my assessment not any special inside information. I do know of one other major Telecoms company that is positioning to contest Nitel with Vodacom. May be a factor in the price movement.

Samstone4

All hail the chairman himself, Samstone! You must be sitting on a lot of loot now after your company has been representing, just watch out for Grabdaloot, so he wont touch your Transcorp loot o.

For all these bible wey Loma dey quote so? Abi the guy na pastor?

@aktopgun, pumice, shine the candle for Transcorp, abeg.

@NBA, Naijadr, what of the bid positions?

I even thought Loma would have used a cartoon to illustrate his last quote

@topgun, please help me look at the chart patterns for Transcorp, and do you think the stock will show some weakness soon based on its candle formations.

Lets see if this one na pink Maribozu sister[color=#990000][/color] e get

RoughCut:
Yeah they are still struggling with how to deal with that issue over there. Remembered a few years back when there was a massive row over refugees that were stuck in australian high seas for some weeks.

It caused a big ruckus that led to all sorts of diplomatic incidents when australia refused the ship carrying refugees entry into her territorial waters and the poor souls were stranded on the seas for some weeks can you imagine?

Racism! I better stay put in this country sha, not to be looked down upon just because of my skin colour. Will only go on holiday overseas, if I like!

@all, am enjoying a book here, very sound strategies freely discussed in this book. Go out and grab yourself a copy of 'how to make money in stocks' by William J O'neil.

Good book, latest edition.

So, Greentree, which stock recommendation are you giving after your long sermon?

ikeja hotels is a sound stok with nice fundamentals, my only fear for you trying to enter now is that a lot of ppl bought at prices below N7, so N10 will be a nice exit point, but it may still break trough N12 or above.

Disclosure, am neck deep in this one.

Does anyone know anything about Premier breweries at Onitsha? The stock has been frozen and the factory deserted, (also under lock and key) Two years ago, the Anambra state govt were talking about resourcitating the company.

What of Nigercem at Nkalagu, hey that one na serious obsolete company TKD. (totally knocked down)

@krrush, you sabi say as they talk small profits, na im my hand typed millions well done my man.

Yes, as the gurus don tire to analyse today, let the floor open to the non gurus to air their own views about the market direction

The bears are expected to still terrorize the market for the remainder of the week since most players will be preparing for holidays, so buying 'dirt cheap' stocks will last till middle of next week if not ending of next week (the friday factor)

Dangote sugar will do a reversal tomorrow wait until those ppl wey no get telly for their house go hear the bonus rumous this night for beer palors buy orders will be flying in anyhow.

Afprint and vono wey dey fall like rock go catch themselves, stagnate small. (somebody go dash them temporal fundamentals for their 'cheapness'

I was supposed to direct the above question at Samstone, chaiman of the board. But since he has gone to sleep, can anyone help him out. by the way, who are the last men standing with Transcorp in this forum?

Abi everybody don vex for Ndi and co and dump the shares run away?

I still have not heard that anything has changed at Transcorp, but the shares continue to push up, any clues as to who is warehousing these shares/ any gists/rumours?

its expected that 1.5 bil could have gotten poly products some reasonable profits, but since they made only a paltry 13 mil, we should have cause to suspect something else.

Its correct, the bonus has been factored into the stock price by insiders rushing in last week, I heard it was a 1 for 4 last week.

Still no market situation report, nobody peeping at the floor?

Ope, abi you no like money, empty ya account for my own na!

Redstar has been sliding beutifully for a quick one two, but the fundamentals of the company is very much in question.

I better wait for First bank to drop a little further.

Nearly did a thanksgiving ceremony today about the rumour of Beta glass bonus. But as I was on my way to the alter, I remembered that the rumour is still unconfirmed, so I went back and sat down.

Could anybody confirm this rumour.

has this car been used in Naija, as e carry plate number so?
