Your are urging people to do insurance but na only 3billion you put.jokers

ghm:
Fair point. If you bought at the peak, selling now may lock in a loss or a smaller gain—that changes the calculation.

But here's the thing: if you're holding a stock that's up 185% YTD and you need cash, the question isn't "did I buy at the top?" It's "what is my entry price and what is my current return?"

If you're still in profit, selling a few units to meet your needs is rational. If you're at a loss, then the dividend question becomes more relevant—but you should also ask whether the stock still deserves your capital at all.

And let's be clear: dividends are not sacrosanct these days. First HoldCo itself only issued its first positive ordinary dividend in three years after completing a capital raise in Q4 2025 . Even blue-chip names like GTCO cut their interim dividend to N1 per share this year . Dividend policies change with capital requirements and earnings. Don't hold a stock only for a dividend that may or may not come.

The dividend obsession only makes sense if you're holding for income. If you're holding for capital appreciation and you need cash, selling is always an option—regardless of where you bought.

nice one,thanks

ghm:
Why are you so fixated on dividends?

First HoldCo is up approximately 185% year-to-date as of early August 2026 . The stock has nearly tripled this year alone.

You can simply sell a few units (any % you want) and use the cash to meet your needs. That's the point of holding liquid stocks—you don't have to wait for a dividend to access value.

do you know if I bought at the 185th percentage gain?selling will then not make sense.

Ok

From Dr Toks on Twitter


“Tinubu's reforms ensured Dangote survived. Dangote himself has said it severally so who are you to speak otherwise?

Without the FX reforms, where would Dangote source FX easily to import crude weekly? How would he price his product with 4 different exchange rates? In what currency would he sell? Naira or FX? If he sells in FX, how would marketers source FX in a country with $3bn net reserves?

Without the removal of subsidy, the refinery wasn't going to start. At best, he would refine and export without participating in the local market. Today, Dangote can adjust his price according to crude oil rates without waiting for directives from the FG. This is the lifeline of the business. Take this away and the refinery will crumble.

What about Naira-for-crude, which has eliminated dollar sourcing pressure on the refinery?

Mind you, our non-oil exports also reached a record high. The FX reforms alone made our exports competitive and made repatriation easier for our exporters. A stable Naira also means our exporters can issue invoices without the fear of FX instability eroding their margins. In 2026, we are at $9.32bn = N13trn. In 2022, our non-oil exports were $4.8bn = N2trn. Exporters have hit a jackpot across the country.

You can only exhibit your political bias to a certain point. Economics will break it. Now you want to run away from politics. You have become a fan of PBAT, but you are afraid to come out openly. I can bet that you will vote for him, just like other financial, investment, and wealth managers and other sensible Nigerians who are reasonable enough to set aside their political and ethnic bias.”

I urge everybody to report people posting off-topic. Click report under their posts so they get banned.

Anyone that wants to post sports or politics should go to the appropriate section or Twitter. One post of politics may have been manageable, but 5 days now of the rubbish is almost derailing the thread.

We prefer zero activity to off-topic posts. We don’t need useless posts to keep this place active.

this is the way to go!nice one.it is better we do not have any post,than having pages of tinubuobi nonesense.natayahuiran garbage!
