saintneo: Thanks a lot for your response. Your response is inline with one of my questions as quoted below.http://www.nse.com.ng/Financial_NewsDocs/OKOMU%20OIL%20CORPORATE%20ACTION.pdf

^^^ The reason for this price adjustment is because Okomu Oil declared a bonus of 1 for 1 meaning that a shareholder will get one share for each share held by him or her. For example, if someone is holding 10 shares, he will get 10 more (20 in total). The shareholders do not pay anything for these shares. Usually, after the bonus issue, the share price of the company gets adjusted according to the bonus ratio. Since the price before the bonus issue was about N100 and Okomu Oil issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1, the post-bonus share price will be N50, which means that the total market value (2 x N50 = N100) remains the same. |
Born 2be Rich: Yeah i know why i wrote sentiments because from their reported first quarter Q1 results for 2013 their Profit after tax declined by 65% to N 491 million, Net margin also reduced to 27%, top line revenue declined by 35% to N 1.83 billion in 2013 from N 2.82 billion in Q1 of 2012, while their cost of sales rose to N 638 million...Thanks |
Born 2be Rich: Yes, it is okay to enter as sentiments might push the price northward...What about the fundamentals? Are they sound? |
^^^It will still be yours except the 2% or so that will go for their commission and transaction fee with CSCS. |
OP, you can try ARM, formally owned by GTB. Their services are superb and they also have great team of securities analysts that carry out analyses of most Public coys and recommendations which you can compare with yours before making any investment decision. The minimum amount required to open a stockbroking account with them is 50K as earlier mentioned, subsequently you can invest with any amount. They have other investment services as well, like the ARM Mutual fund, Aggressive Growth Fund just to mention a few. Great online portal where you can monitor your portfolio as well as carryout transactions on your portfolio. Ever since I opened an account with ARM I have never been disappointed. You get them here www.armsecurities.com.ng/ Gosh! Have I been doing some PR for ARM? Anyways that's the result you derive when you offer a quality service to your customers. Goodluck! |
At first thought the answer looks very simple not until you actually sit down and put pen to paper to answer the question then you realize its not as easy as you may think. According to the legendary Benjamin Graham, along with David Dodd, attempted a precise definition of investing and speculation in their seminal work Security Analysis (1934). “An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and a satisfactory return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative.” There are always two games going on in the market at any time: a game of skill and a game of strategy. Games of skill are speculating; and games of strategy are investing. The best way to understand this is to look at the definitions. Investors, like Warren Buffett, want to find the underlying value of a company. The time horizon is the same time horizon it takes to work out the company’s strategic plan, usually years and decades. The speculator doesn’t care about the underlying value of the company. He cares about the underlying demand of buyers and sellers in the stock. He is looking at the beauty-contest aspect: will people like the stock and bid it up or not. So, let’s begin. What is the definition of investing? What is the definition of speculation? |
olly pass: @ yogun:ok will check it and get back @ ya...dont u tink u need to give laz inc accusation a more serious response than that?A more serious response? I'm laughing in Russian!! I saw the link that was posted earlier on this thread before it was hidden, thanks to the MOD. First how would a normal human wants to put his/her hard earned money into something he or she doesn't understands? Can't even read? That scam site was in russian language for goodness sake. Its all about the MLM scams that we see and hear every now and then. What are you guys marking for God sake? You had better go and get something better for yourselves and stop decieving yourselves and the innocent public please. There are no quick and fast ways in making money, just work hard and be street smart, you will sure get there slow and steady. Please be guided!! My 2cents! I'm out |
valacious: FBNH result out, N2 dividend!Source please? |

Seun: How to determine the value of a business? Well, let's imagine that you want to buy a small business in your area. You'll probably start by inspecting all available financial records for the business to figure out how well the business is doing. You'll learn everything there is to know about the business - value of assets, salary cost, rent, cost of training employees, level of patronage and sales, competitive situation, etc. You will use this information to predict the future profits of the business, and you will not pay more than an amount that guarantees that the future profits of the business after tax will exceed the amount you paid for the business in a reasonable period of time.[/b] That's exactly what I'm doing in the stock market "Extreme Diversification" Looking out for companies that have durable competitive advantage like those you mentioned above with some other ratios (Profitability, liquidity, market and some special ratios) then carry out screening using the Ben Graham stock screening and Piotroski F - Score screening before making investment decisions. I invest in the stock market for the long term, with the slight ROI I'm getting so far, I still feel there's alot to be done. I really want a situation where I can actually value a company, get the real worth of that company (Intrinsic value), then see if the shares of such company is actually trading at a discount with my margin of safety in place before I invest my money into it. The reason for this is because I'm looking into creating an investment arm of my company that will be dealing on stock investment. At the moment, I'm trying to learn more on value investing. With the help of Bloomberg and Reuters where I get financial data of Nigerian public companies for the past five years to present, I'm learning how to use the DCF and DDM valuation methods and other qualities you listed above to know exactly the true worth of a company. I want to believe I'm in the right track! Thanks |
oduz: Attend Trade Groups & market to their membersWow! Nice ideas, thank you so much. Looking forward to start implementing some of these great ideas. |

Hello nairalanders, I have an opportunity that was given to me by a licensed distributor of Bagco products that is based in Lagos to be a sub-distributor of the products here in Rivers states and its environs since I'm based in Port Harcourt. I really want to engage in this business because I have a strong passion for sales and marketing but the challenge I have now is getting dealers and retailers of this products here. Please I need advice on how to go about it. How do I locate dealers and retailers of these products in Port Harcourt since I want to run the business as an wholesale type because of my job for now till I eventually grow it to the level where I can take it full time? Please I need your kind suggestions and advice.

Seun: 1. Determine how much you would reasonably pay for the entire company if you had enough money to buy it.Bros Seun, it is easier said than done. If this was the case, there should be loads of billionaires all over. What are the bases you take into consideration when doing the "bolded" above? |
stockbull: i seldom recommend this first bank stock. It's a pity the time they are known to be mr div and bonus is turning to history.so many stock brokers as agents deceiving investors in the part. The stock is similar to google and apple stocks in america. Endure moreOga Stockbull, I respect your sound analysis but I beg to disagree with you on this. FBN still has very strong fundamentals and excellent economic moat when compare to it pairs. You may just be surprise when their result is release. |
Symphony007: look at this kid! Which state in this country that is'nt having problems with exam malpractise? But which state has fought exam malpractise more than rivers state? The state government personally sends para-military forces to supervise exams and anyone caught is jailed. The governour and commisioner of education visit exam centers, where is that done? The government has fought so had and wace keeps telling them not to interfere with their organisation. So what do you expect them to do? You dare open your mouth to attack educationally the only state in the federation that jails parents who don't send their kids to school, and has the most sorphisticated schools where fees,uniform,sandals,books and even lunch is free. Better think twice before talking!!Look at this fat cow o,its no longer news that rivers has d highest rate of exams malpractices, why do you think that most students from the east that couldn't passed waec in their various states found rivers as their safe haven to passed this same exams they couldn't passed back in their own states, its simply because of the rate of malpractices that goes on in rivers state. Take UST for example, that's the HQ of exam malpractice and cultism in the state. Stop being sentimental and get your facts right before coming here to fool yourself. Arrant nonsense mtscheew |
Symphony007: no good roads? You must be high, which south-south or south eastern city can compare with port harcourt for road networks? Stadium road,aba road, new airport road, peter odili road, mile 3 roads and mega fly over and many more! For your information rivers state is the only state in nigeria that has enough power to feed the whole state, it's has just been given the power by the feds to distribute and it is on a fast track! No solid infastructure? Apparently you're ignorant to the fact that the three tallest buildings in the entire south south and south east is located in port harcourt. You don't know about the monorail project whoes first phase in nearing completion. All the schools and health care centers jam packed in the state that you see one of them anywhere you turn! Please don't say ignorant things.Road networks in portharcourt? I think you just displayed your stupidity at the highest level here. By good road I mean quality roads not all those I see in portharcourt being carried out by rubbish contractors like the mile 3 flyover (I laugh in swaili) you just foolishly mentioned. Other rubbish contractors like hommer n the rest keep doing shaddy roads all over the city that couldn't stand the taste of time. Portharcourt only has aba road that is always full of traffic and you said there are road networks. Stop deceiving yourself and take a visit to Akwa Ibom state you will know that portharcourt is no where cclose to it in terms of road infrastructures. Where I work in Akwa Ibom, Ikot Abasi there is 24/7 steady electricity because there's a state power plant there. The only place you can get that in rivers is in bonny island that's provided by nlng. |
scribble: u guys are clowns, all you have even in Uyo is nice roads and flyovers. then you have nice soups and drinking joints all over the place.Ode, olodo! I presume you don't know what you're talking about. Have you gone through the section of the eastwest road that links Rivers and Akwa Ibom state lately? That road is been constructed by Akwa Ibom state govt.the E-library and the Ibom Tropicana you mentioned are real, I have been there and I must tell you they are world class. |
musiwa23: uyo city is base on scam run by ngozi iweala ministry on oil allocation in nigeria.. there are not 70 oil platform in akwa ibom state as claim by the Supreme court of Nigeria..I'm tempted to say that you're a complete illiterate. Go and get your facts right. Besides those wells you mentioned, most of the major deep offshores fields like USAN project operated by Total and the rest are located off the coast of Akwa Ibom state. Rubbish |
mmmustapha: Dis city is a village compare with port hercourt or kadunaCompare with Port Harcourt? Port Harcourt is one of the worst cities in terms of development, no good roads, no electricity and no solid infrastructures. |

Born 2be Rich: Nigeria stock Exchange:Please what is your take on Lafarge Wapco and First Bank Holdings (FBH) for someone who is going long? Their fundamentals looks great and the future prospect as well. Thanks |
stockbull: this is the appropriate period for investors to position for the yearly profits. The market may go a little bit far in the second quarterPlease what is your take on someone entering the market now that everyone is waiting for companies to start pouring their 2012 annual reports? Should one wait for these results to come out first before one invest or invest now before these results come out after doing your analysis on the companies you choose to invest in? Also, if one buys a company shares immediately after the result is released and the company posted a good result and also declares dividend, will that person after buying the shares also take part in the dividend before the dividend payout date? Thanks |
Seun: I know the basic principles of stock valuation. I have a copy of Ben Graham's stock aalysis book, The Intelligent Investor, and another one on company valuation. But I find financial statements to be extremely boring, so I have never actually completed the process of analyzing any stock. Ben Graham used to analyze stocks with his students during class, and many of them made a lot of money by investing on the basis of his analysis. I wish a good stock analyst would create a stock analysis thread here on Nairaland so we can learn & practice it together.On the bolded, that was actually what attracted me to this thread but I can see that the main aim is defeated because you guys have derailed this thread. I have been investing in the market for quite some time but I cant call myself an investor, maybe I'm still speculating because "An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and a satisfactory return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative" - Graham. I have been doing my analysis on companies, despite the fact that getting financial data on Nigeria companies are somehow challenging compared to other developed markets around the world. I want to see a situation, where some of us can take up companies, analyze these companies, determine the real worth of these companies - The intrinsic value, because having an intrinsic value estimate keeps one focused on the value of the business, rather than a piece of the stock - and that's what we want because, as an investor, you are buying a small piece of a business. This gives us strong basis in making investment decisions. I will like the boss Seun and other investment gurus to keep this thread alive. |
feelamong: Am a trader in the market (ASPANDA)however I have early banking experience and had self tutoring the workings of the stock market!On the bolded*, how do you go about that? |
PTDF OVERSEA SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) is a parastatal of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources established by Decree 25 of 1973 for the purpose of developing and promoting petroleum technology and for creating the manpower needs of the oil and gas industry through research and training of Nigerians. Our mission therefore is to train Nigerians to qualify as graduates, professionals, technicians and craftsmen in the field of engineering, geology, science and management in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria or abroad. We have a vision to serve not only as a vessel for the development of indigenous manpower and technology transfer/acquisition in the petroleum industry but also to make Nigeria a human resource centre for the West African sub-region.
