When you open NSE website, and you click on "Top 5 Trades", and you see only Banks (including heavy weight banks with heavy volumes), and you look to the left and see -1.30%, you don't feel good . Unless you're not in the market.It seems the heavy weights (Dangote Cement, Guaranty, Zenith) are just about to start their own fall. We need a magic tomorrow o, otherwise we have to wait a bit more for this bull. |
currentprice:Market lost about 1% yesterday, and currently losing less than 1% |
Today's market is key. Let's see how it closes. |
pluto09:Unfortunately, I don't have the data for these periods. |
Calebbold:Yes, we still have till July to make some money. I wish all my holdings will be in positive by that time, so that I can exit and be a spectator for a while. Even between July and December, JIJO gurus will still make money, but I don't have the strength ![]() |
musty00:Actually, there are two main reasons why I shared this information: 1. There were a couple of low points in 2014 when people thought the bears were done, particularly in October, people rushed in, there was a fake mini bull, only for the heavy down trend to continue. The final lows showed up in December, quite close to the elections. It's better to target entry towards this period. There's need to continue monitoring the trend though as different news unfold. 2. Note that heavy weights like Dangcem, Guaranty, Zenith, etc lost close to 40%. Just to point out that we have not seen any bears yet. It will probably start from August. The only catalyst left this year is Q2 results. After that, we should expect bears/sideways. JIJO opportunities will be showing here and there. But if you have hip pain like Oracle and you cannot struggle at the exit door, it's better to stay clear. Everyone with his own strategy though. Irrespective of what happens, I am not selling any of my stocks at a loss. I am ready to wait it out (Na my own strategy o). |
Here's how some selected stocks were battered in 2014 before election. The highs and lows are closing prices. Most of the lows here were attained in December 2014.

This one was a global meltdown rationalmind: |
Even if the months closed negative, it doesn't mean there were no small small bulls at all in between. In 2014, the index closed green for 6 consecutive days from November 10 - 17, then 7 consecutive days from December 18 - 30 BullBearMkt: |
The strategy to use now depends on the source of the money one has tied down in the market (for those of us trapped in the market) If you're playing with a loan, or your personal funds that you cannot tie down in the market for a while, you'll definitely be looking to bail out at any opportunity that presents itself, even at some loss, before the grand papa of bears come later in the year. For me, after learning my lessons, I only put money that I can tie down in the market. If I get an opportunity to sell my stocks without any loss, before the election bears, I will. Otherwise, I'm not selling. I'd rather bring in fresh funds when the time is right, to join the mattress gang. History will still repeat itself, by bringing the prices of fundamentally sound stocks back to where they belong after elections (8 months from now). |
Index shouldn't have been that bad today if not for Dangote Cement. Agbalowomeri: |
This is no bull yet. Today is just a slow down of the bears. Tomorrow will tell. aremso: |
Also waiting for Zenith around this junction. Playing the same strategy here. I've chopped the dividend. I need to average down and bail out before election bears. But I won't sell at a loss. If need be, na carry over till february. locodemy: |
There will definitely be bulls here and there before election. In 2014, build up to the 2015 elections, between May and December, there were 3 mini bulls. The major devastating bears in 2014 took charge between October 2 - December 17. There was even a bull from December 18 - December 30. If we witness 3 consecutive bear next week (with index losing 400 points like friday - excluding dangcem), bull may surface. It's just the Tuesday public holiday that may distort the flow. If the bears slow down early next week, we might just be seeing sideways trading until around Q2 before the bull will show. Just my opinion, not a buy or sell recommendation. |
You're absolutely right! With the election uncertainties that will unfold. I believe there may still be a mini bull before half year results. But I think interim dividend paying stocks will be majorly favoured. This mini bull might just present the final opportunity for those who want to bail out before the main bear comes. However, if many stocks start to lose 10% daily next week, this bull might come sooner than expected. Just my opinion.... Agbalowomeri: |
As the bears are hammering, some attractive dividend yields will start to show. Just observing.... These caught my eyes as at today's close: ucap - 11.67% dangsugar - 10.61% zenith - 10.13% afriprud - 10.00% This will only interest dividend hunters/long termers though |
Thanks for the update. hyness: |
I tire o. I never hear anybody say "fidelity just land" since morning. I think say na the bear make people forget dividend. Abi no be today be payment day? At least we go chop the tasere dividend as consolation.Double wahala. some buy because of dividend and now they no see. some buy just for capital appreciation,reverse is now the case.[/quote] |
House, I salute! Anybody received Fidelity dividend yet? |
. Unless you're not in the market.
