But 30 is not old naa, why d anxiety?

Mankind2024:
Thank you for the kind words. I truly appreciate it. I am also learning daily, and I’m glad the write-ups have been useful to some readers on the NSEMPA thread.

Let me briefly respond to your questions.

1. On the anticipated frontier market transition and the coming elections.

There are fears one cannot fully control in the market:
• government policies,
• inflation,
• deflation,
• tax policies,
• interest rates,
• FX dynamics,
• and other macroeconomic variables.

These factors can dictate market direction temporarily.

As an investor, your duty is not to predict every macro event perfectly. Your responsibility is to invest in fundamentally moated companies and allow time and compounding to do the heavy lifting.

An increasingly efficient NGX may even render the anticipated pre-election downturn partially invalid because information may already be priced in faster than many expect.

What matters most is always having dry powder for “MAY DAY”, those moments when portfolios are bleeding and fear dominates the market.

Historically, those painful periods often create the greatest long-term opportunities.

2. Will people exit the market because of election fears?

The weak hands always do.

Fear, greed, rumors, speculation, and uncertainty are some of the core emotional forces that transfer wealth from the impatient to the patient.

During uncertain periods:
• some investors panic,
• some dump quality assets,
• some move to fixed income,
• while disciplined investors quietly accumulate and stay the course.

That cycle has repeated itself across generations of financial markets.


3. About VFDGROUP PLC.
Personally, I think VFD has successfully shaken off many weak hands. Those guys appear very strategic and very clever.

However, I have also observed certain yellow flags in their modus operandi.

Following the listing of VFD on the NGX, there was a period of illiquidity. That phase was later followed by massive insider dealings. Shortly after, a bonus issue was announced. Within less than 12 months, another bonus issue emerged.

As the share price approached around N20, there appeared to be significant insider dumping, pushing the stock down toward sub-N13 levels. Before investors could fully digest the development, a rights issue was announced.
Your guess is as good as mine.

One possible interpretation is that insiders may have used prior knowledge of the rights issue qualification date to offload shares at elevated prices before re-entering through the rights issue at a discount.

That said, these are observations investors should critically evaluate themselves.

For beginners especially, understanding:
• insider behavior,
• liquidity patterns,
• capital raises,
• dilution

Hot money appears to be positioning ahead of the structural transformation of the NGX.

Settlement cycle improvements like T+1 could further accelerate institutional participation and market efficiency.

And if that transition deepens, the premium board may likely become one of the first destinations of institutional and foreign capital flows.

As for recommending stocks, that is honestly not my area of competence.

I am not a stock picker.
I simply try to invest in fundamentally sound companies and allow time, patience, and compounding to work.

Wow, I am really really grateful.i just hope u will keep this thread alive. I am seriously learning. God bless you

Well done for your good work. Pls can u analyse vfd for me, is it a good buy at d moment?

crownprince2017:
Since I don benefit from questions like this, let try my best to pay back this time.

The reason the price is flat are:

Many people don't understand how to value the holding companies of this nature properly because

Right issue dilution after two previous dilutions

People don't want to trust the management blindly since they are still new to ngx market.

Where is the kill my approach is I go after the subsidiaries to understand what they are doing and the fist that cut my attention was herel play because I was curious about the big inventories.

That aqua point will be delivered this point and it's going to add 20b+ to the bank

Another 10units in lekki will be delivered in q2

Another 18 units will be delivered in q4.

If you research well on the project u will discovered that they are all within the delivery timeframe.

Thanks

megawealth01:
Buy VFD if you get money wey you no dey use for a long time. You go still chop small 0.25k dividends sha. Check if the qualification date is still favourable

Thank u

Good pm, I remember ur write-ups from d nsempa thread and I really appreciate u for always sharing ideas that will help whoever is interested. My questions are numerous. Hope u will find time to answer.
1)Considering the fact that election is fast approaching, do u think d September frontier listing of d ngx can affect d market positively?
Do u think people will exit the market because of election fears thereby causing dip?
2) pls analyse vfd for me as a complete novice. The price is stagnant but I have this feeling that it's a good stock
3)if u are to advice a beginner, what 5_10 fundamentally strong and not so expensive stocks would you recommend?

Good pm my nairaland mentors and mentees. Pls can someone tell me why vfd stock price is stagnant? It has been in that price zone for a long time. Is it good long term? Pls explain it like u will explain to a total Novice.

Thank you, well appreciated

mikeapollo:
Deapcap has restructured and deleveraged its AMCON debt from about N1.5b to about N400m.
They also have plans to do a debt-equity conversion programme and possibly raise additional capital in the market.
These and some other info may be responsible for its recent performance. But I don't know if it will continue the rally or decline or remain stable.

Thanks, I appreciate your quick and insightful response

Gday all, pls can you all analyse Deapcap for me? What is moving it and does it have more room to grow? Help a novice who is still learning.

@Op, I feel your pain. I can relate. Teaching is not for the weak, I resigned from my teaching job Jan this year even though I had nothing on ground cos it got to a point I was battling with my health so I had to leave to live. May God bless you with something better Amen

Good pm nairalanders. Trust you all are doing well? I desire to start a new business but I don't have money to rent a shop now so I was thinking maybe I should look in the direction of what I can do from home.

An idea of processing cassava into dry cassava flakes (abacha) came to me but I don't know how to go about it. Pls, a few questions... Is it a profitable business venture? How do I go about marketing it and ensure growth in the business? Your response will be highly appreciated.

martinosi:
Thank you for the acknowledgement God Bless!

Truthfully, I was a teacher until January this year when I willingly resigned on health grounds. I could cope no more as the workload was too much on me. I was taking three subjects(phe, Agric and Geography) from Jss_SSS. To make matters worse, the pay was too meagre, I was always falling sick, nothing to show for my inputs.

@Guobe, good afternoon. I honestly need this giveaway. I am a family woman with a lot of challenges but top on the list is food. If God lays in your heart to assist me, I will be most grateful.

I cannot interpret the result but my advice to you is this:. Pls stop the everyday consumption of stout and tramadol. You are gradually compromising your health

A step in the right direction

Marriages of nowadays, just recently a man burnt his wife at abagana. Pls do everything in your power to save your sister abeg. Her life matters. I don't think I can endure that kind of abuse oh, I for don pack my children run go my papa house.

This is sad. It's good to have control over our emotions. Even if she is guilty of Infidelity, ending the marriage would have been better than ending a life you didn't create. I feel for the kids. Chai

@Op, you are not wrong to feel somehow, I think to remedy the situation, your wife can approach the seller and plead with him/her to exchange it with another material. It just doesn't make sense for you and her brothers to wear same material. My thoughts!!

Caaz:

Nairalanders pls say a word of prayer for my son. His birthday always remind me of madalla bomb blast because I just finished giving birth to him when the news of the blast filtered in

Celebrate my son's birthday tomorrow 25th as it will give him so much joy. He has been a good and caring son, very hard-working.
