Money will keep on passing you with this your analysis that hasn't yielded fruits for once.
I made money in Dangote Sugar, from 17 to 60 and something. It's not easy. Most of my investments were made in 2020 at bargain prices. Some of them, like UCAP, have done more than 5 baggers, though I haven't sold yet.

This year, I played Accesscorp and GTCO, and both gave me over 50%. I am currently in BUA Cement, with already more than 10%. I don't need to be shouting all the time. wink

Nestle is not a volatile or liquid stock.
While we agree the price will fall more , it may take up to six months to get nestle at bargain price.He has his money at hand now.why wait for Nestle when there are many stocks to give him instant returns......huh??
Haba, it is not volatile as price doesn't move much, but it is liquid. It is more liquid than JapaulGold and Chams.

Here is a simple liquidity test that I do:

*Sum the total value in the last 183 days (or six months).
*Calculate the average.
*5% of that average should give you a good idea of the daily liquidity that you can comfortably buy or sell.

Using my test, I should not invest more than 590k on Japaul Gold, 400k on Chams, and 5.9 million on Nestle as a trader.

Edit: Value traded not Volume

Nestle is relatively low these days, is this a good time to buy it?
First, most of the volume was traded above 1070 from 2020 to date, with only 18.6% traded at a price below that. I think this will give the stock a strong cushion, as selling pressure will be low. Many who bought the stock after 2020 would sell at a loss if they sold now.

I see volumes at 1200 and 1400, as these are the prices where some of these investors may choose to exit if need be. The huge loss, similar to Dangsugar's, is mostly due to exchange problems and not to the company's core activities. Astute investors should be able to see through this.

In my opinion, around 1000 is a good price to buy, current price is also ok. I mentioned 1000 because there is strong support at that level. If the stock plunges below 1000, you should consider selling. cheesy

Deadlytruth:
Concentration is defined as the relative quantity of solute present in a fixed or standard quantity of solute. So concentration is normally used in reference to solvent.
Lol, if that is the case, why are you arguing again? Seriously, concentration is not normally used in reference to solvent. Instead, it is used in reference to the solution as a whole. However, "high concentration" is used to describe a solution that has a large amount of solute. In that sense, saying that water moves from low concentration to high concentration is correct. You were right. wink

I was looking at it from the perspective of solvent concentration. Solvent moves from where its concentration (solvent with respect to solute) is higher to where it is lower. cheesy

Random walk, fluctuations, probability, stochastic model and deterministic model in Physics can all be applied to the Stock market more than Osmosis. Yet they have wasted almost 2 pages trying to get the correct definition of Osmosis. Talk of derailment!
Osmosis can also be used to describe the movement of capital within a stock market from one sector to another. For example, if investors believe that the technology sector is undervalued relative to the energy sector, they may sell their energy stocks and buy technology stocks. This flow of capital from the energy sector to the technology sector would be an example of osmosis within a stock market.

Capital flows from Overvalued sectors to Undervalued sectors or stocks. wink

Cat fish is found in fresh water habit, If you take catfish and put it in a lagoon the catfish will die. The concentration of the catfish body fluid is lower than that of the lagoon. Water will move out of the catfish cells into the environment that is the lagoon, this will cause plasmolysis of the catfish cell and the death of the animal.


If you take a mackerel fish found in the ocean and put it into a fresh water habitat. The concentration of the fresh water habitat is lower than the concentration of the mackerel body fluid. Water will move from the environment ie the fresh water that has a lower concentration into the cells of the mackerel fish that has a higher concentration. The water movement into the animal will make its cells to become turgid, the cell membrane will burst leading to the death of the fish


I was surprised you did not do that practical described by Deadlytruth in your Biology classes in high school
"the presence of salt reduces water potential. Water potential is the measure of the free energy of water. It is affected by the concentration of solutes in the water. Salt is a solute, so when it is added to water, it lowers the water potential.

This is because salt ions attract water molecules. The more salt ions there are in the water, the more water molecules are attracted to them. This reduces the number of water molecules that are free to move around, which lowers the water potential."

Will need to read up on osmosis to refresh its exact meaning as it is more under biology i guess.
But looking at hygroscopic or capillary forces. They cause water to flow against gravity. They are due to net imbalances in other forces at the atomic level. And there are so many forces at the atomic level which physicists say are far greater in value than the gravitational one we see and can easily relate with. That's why a nuclear bomb is possible. Where massive amount of energy (force x distance) is released by a change from one atom to another under the right conditions that are possible.

Aha! I see the confusion. To clarify, osmosis is from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration, which is the same as higher solvent concentration to lower solvent concentration.

Case closed cool
You agree that it is the solvent that crosses the membrane and not the solute. This reinforces what I have been saying. grin

ggoldmine:
Please, enough of this derail. They're both correct with the definition of osmosis. You've been describing reverse osmosis, so you're wrong. Accept that and move on.
My brother I would have given up on this, but I don't give when I am right. Below is a passage from a book, do with it what you like, iam done:

Osmosis is a process by which solvent molecules move from an area of high solvet concentration to an area of low solvent concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Semi-permeable membranes allow solvent molecules to pass through but not solute molecules. The rate of osmosis is proportional to the difference in solvent concentration between the two areas.

A good example of osmosis is what happens when you put a fresh water fish in saltwater. The fish's body cells contain more water molecules than the saltwater outside of its body. Therefore, water molecules will move out of the fish's cells and into the saltwater by osmosis. This can cause the fish's cells to shrink and die.

Osmosis is also an important process in plants. Plant roots absorb water from the soil by osmosis. The water molecules in the soil move into the plant's roots because the plant cells contain more solutes than the soil. This water helps to keep the plant's cells turgid, which gives the plant its structure.

Osmosis is also an important process in the human body. For example, osmosis helps to regulate the blood volume. The blood contains more solutes than the cells in the body. Therefore, water molecules will move out of the cells and into the blood by osmosis. This helps to maintain the blood volume and prevents the cells from dehydrating.

Osmosis is a fundamental process in biology. It plays an important role in many different organisms, including plants, animals, and humans.

Here are some other examples of osmosis:

* When you put a raisin in water, the raisin swells up as the water molecules move into the raisin by osmosis.
* When you sweat, your body is trying to cool down by evaporating water molecules. The water molecules move out of your sweat glands by osmosis.
* When you eat salty foods, you may feel thirsty. This is because the salt in the food increases the solute concentration in your blood. The water molecules in your cells will move into your blood by osmosis to try to balance the solute concentration.

Osmosis is a simple but powerful process that plays an important role in many different areas of science. I hope this explanation was helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

BabsO2:
Remember also hygroscopic pressure.

Apart from gravitational induced pressure (force) there are other causes of force (pressure) which may work against gravity or any other force as long as it is of a greater value. I can take the fundamental physics component of this BA grin
I've already made it clear that if you're going against gravity, you'll need an external force.

For example, if you want to lift a rocket, you need fuel. At 200 meters, the potential energy is higher than at ground level. This same principle applies to osmosis: it has to move from higher concentration to lower concentration. However, unlike a rocket, osmosis is a spontaneous process that occurs naturally.

If you want water to move from lower concentration to higher concentration across a membrane(like in the rocket example), you'll need to make it happen artificially.

Seriously, their definition is wrong and would fail an exam.

My friend, it is like you are one of those people who spend time cramming for exams. I am not arguing that osmosis occurs through a semipermeable membrane or that it acts on water. I am correcting the mistake that you both made: whether osmosis or diffusion, it moves from a higher concentration region to a lower one. Please, if you cannot understand, let us drop the matter.

Deadlytruth:
You are bringing in Physics and law of gravity into it. That doesn't apply here. There is what is called osmotic pressure and it is the force which helps move water across the membrane. Osmosis is strictly about the movement of water molecules and not the movement of any other substance.

In all instances of osmosis, there are two solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane which permits only water to move across it. Now, when those two solutions of different concentrations are connected with that semi permeable membrane, osmotic pressure is immediately set up with the goal of equalizing the two different concentrations. This makes water molecules to start moving away from the hypotonic solution (i.e the side of lower concentration) through the membrane to go and dilute the hypertonic solution (i.e. the side of higher concentration) at the opposite end and in the end both solutions become isotonic (i.e. of equal concentrations)
You mentioned osmotic pressure. I can tell you that you can't have pressure without a potential difference. You must have a high-potential side and a low-potential side, then pressure begins to push from high to low. The same principle applies in biology, physics, chemistry, and electricity.

emmanuelewumi:
Deadlytruth is correct, what you explained is possible with diffusion and does not require a membrane. It is the semipermeable membrane that makes osmosis possible and it will continue until equilibrium is reached in the concentration of the solution on both sides of the membrane
Osmosis is a form of diffusion.

Diffusion is like an umbrella under which osmosis falls as a specialized form. Osmosis is always from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Like most processes in nature, things move from high energy states to lower energy states, or else you need external energy to go in the other direction. undecided

Oga Emma, Mercy and co. Abeg i wan learn something about insider trading

When the NGX publishes directors dealings, does it mean that the transactions are hidden from the trades i see from Morgan capital?

For example, the attached is a director dealing.

it was notified that 100,000 units with individual share price of N56.50 was transacted.

Now, on the list of trades i see on morgan capital, i cannot see anything like that.
there is just a single trade of N56.50 and it's less than 33k units.



Abeg i wan just understand
The order book is a list of all the buy and sell orders for a particular stock or security. It is organized by price level, with the highest buy order at the top and the lowest sell order at the bottom. The order book is used to match buy and sell orders and to determine the current price of a stock or security.

However, not all transactions are recorded on the order book. For example, block trades, which are large trades that are typically executed outside of the exchange, are not recorded on the order book. Additionally, transactions that are executed over-the-counter (OTC), which are transactions that are executed directly between two parties without the use of an exchange, are also not recorded on the order book.

****************************
The volume recorded at the end of the day will not cover all transactions, as not all transactions are recorded on the order book. Block trades and OTC trades, for example, are not recorded on the order book. Therefore, the volume recorded at the end of the day will only reflect the volume of trades that were executed through the order book.



Here is an analogy to help you understand this concept:

Imagine that the order book is like a public market, where buyers and sellers can come together to trade goods and services. The volume recorded at the end of the day would reflect the total volume of goods and services that were traded in the public market.

However, not all trades take place in the public market. For example, two farmers may decide to trade their crops directly with each other, without going through the public market. This would be like a block trade.

Additionally, some goods and services may be traded over-the-counter, which means that they are traded directly between two parties without the use of a public market. This would be like an OTC trade.

Therefore, the volume recorded at the end of the day will not reflect the total volume of trades that took place, as it will only reflect the volume of trades that were executed through the order book.

Also what are the assumptions. Exact trade price and volume (difficult to get such data) or daily average weighted price and volumes or daily closing price and volumes (data available here and there) grin
Oando and Transcorp histograms covering from 2020 to the day before yesterday. I have also added time elapsed. Although most of the Oando shares over the 3-year period were bought below 6, we see very high interest in Oando at around 10, 12, 13, and 14. Raking in over 550 million units in just 8 days, compared to 1.9 billion units in over 400 days. The possibility of making a new high is there. Regarding Transcorp, the largest block was bought below 1.4. I wouldn't be surprised if the stock falls to the 3 to 4.5 range, as we can see from the histogram that there is relatively large demand there. This is not a buy or sell recommendation, just one way to make sense of the inherent chaos in the market. cheesy cheesy cheesy
