Oshokhai69:Comercial Banks "print money" by issuing loans. End of story. |
ojesymsym:I made very clear what i meant when i mentioned stocks do something similar. I didn't use d word "print money" in its literal sense. I am not stupid or am I? ![]() Besides, it is actually same, d physical money is indistinguishable from the ones "created" by d banks. |
ibechris:How Bank Lending Really Creates Money, And Why The Magic Money Tree Is Not Cost Free How is money created? Some is created by the state, but usually in a financial emergency. For instance, the crash gave rise to quantitative easing – money pumped directly into the economy by the government. The vast majority of money (97%) comes into being when a commercial bank extends a loan. Meanwhile, 27% of bank lending goes to other financial corporations; 50% to mortgages (mainly on existing residential property); 8% to high-cost credit (including overdrafts and credit cards); and just 15% to non-financial corporates, that is, the productive economy. Money is created on faith alone, whether that is faith in ever-increasing housing prices or any other given investment. This does not mean that creation is risk-free: any government could create too much and spawn hyper-inflation. Any commercial bank could create too much and generate over-indebtedness in the private economy. But it does mean that money has no innate value, it is simply a marker of trust between a lender and a borrower. So it is the ultimate democratic resource. Money is created when banks lend. The rules of double entry accounting dictate that when banks create a new loan asset, they must also create an equal and opposite liability, in the form of a new demand deposit. This demand deposit, like all other customer deposits, is included in central banks’ measures of broad money. In this sense, therefore, when banks lend they create money. Nor does the creation of money by commercial banks through lending require any faith other than in the borrower’s ability to repay the loan with interest when it is due. Commercial banks’ ability to create money is constrained by capital. When a bank creates a new loan, with an associated new deposit, the bank’s balance sheet size increases, and the proportion of the balance sheet that is made up of equity (shareholders’ funds, as opposed to customer deposits, which are debt, not equity) decreases. If the bank lends so much that its equity slice approaches zero – as happened in some banks prior to the financial crisis – even a very small fall in asset prices is enough to render it insolvent. Regulatory capital requirements are intended to ensure that banks never reach such a fragile position. It is of course possible for banks to lend more than the population can realistically afford. In contrast, central banks’ ability to create money is constrained by the willingness of their government to back them, and the ability of that government to tax the population. In practice, most central bank money these days is asset-backed, since central banks create new money when they buy assets in open market operations or QE, and when they lend to banks. However, in theory a central bank could literally “spirit money from thin air” without asset purchases or lending to banks. The ability of the government to tax the population depends on the credibility of the government and the productive capacity of the economy. Hyperinflation can occur when the supply side of the economy collapses, rendering the population unable and/or unwilling to pay taxes. It can also occur when people distrust a government and its central bank so much that they refuse to use the currency that the central bank creates. Distrust can come about because people think the government is corrupt and/or irresponsible, as in Zimbabwe, or because they think that the government is going to fall and the money it creates will become worthless (this is why hyperinflation is common in countries that have lost a war). But nowhere in the genesis of hyperinflation does central bank insolvency feature. Certainly not commercial banks. People trust the money created by commercial banks firstly because it is exchangeable one-for-one with central bank created money, and secondly because governments guarantee its value up to a limit . Deposit insurance effectively turns the money created by commercial banks into government money. But even the money created by central banks requires a government guarantee. The dollar is backed by the “full faith and credit of the U.S. government.” And central banks are mandated by governments to maintain the value of the money they create. That’s what their inflation target means. So, faith in money is, in reality, faith in the government that guarantees it. That in turn requires faith in the future productive capacity of the economy. As the productive capacity of any economy ultimately comes from the work of people, we could therefore say that faith in money is faith in people, both those now on the earth and those who will inhabit it in future.

Oshokhai69:The antics of a pompous fellow, the one who thinks he knows it all. Let me give you a piece of advice, whenever you come across a new or strange idea excessive restraint, take some time and think it through, do some reasearch. Thats how we learn and grow! |
Olaide1295:Is it only CBN that prints money? Banks print money all the time when they lend money. What of the stock market? When a stock goes up, say 10%, everyone who owns that stuck commands new money and it doesn't matter that the individuals that caused the rise exchanged less than 1% of the outstanding stocks, and money can be destroyed during bears. By the way, Nigeria is still better than some countries sha check below. That is Argentina, inflation has finished them.

pizapato:WAPCOs paid on 23-6-21 and on 19-11-21 last year. |
Zegra:Neither, more dividends and hope that zenith covers d gap when market starts going up... |
20 region seems to be support for both GTCO and ZENITH. All things being equal, any further deep should prompt a buy, i think so. I am planning on selling wapco and dangcem so i can buy zenith... |

Fidson experienced huge volume spike in d last 2 days(Something may be cooking). 80% sure it shall blow pass 11 soon. |
ositadima1:Not doing too badly giving general market dynamics. |
You Mr. up there, when you see your enemy tell him, "This is as far as you go. No more. This is it." Then end it. In another news Ring of Power is here baby, 2 episodes out. |
thesilentone:You have a point, but then GTCO has not experienced full offer or full bid since march 24, and that was probably cos of mark down. Infact the last time it experienced a full anything was in April 2021. This leads me to think that once the seller is done we are most likely going to see many full bids (or full offers). |
thesilentone:Same with UBA. I have a suspicion that until the seller or sellers are done trend continues. Doesn’t seem to be particularly due to performance, just that the seller(s) wants out and has loads of it. If so, it looks good for accumulation and averaging down. |
Davidganna10:Me too, go watch d movie Morbius where he futured as Marlo if u haven't, great performance. |
[s] Not a buy tip: Oando:Buy 4.85, Sell @ 4.36(10% stoploss) or 6(24% gain) or Sept ending(gain or loss) [/s] |
RabbiDoracle:The health of d market looks bullish but... the uncertainty surrounding the market in this period is undeniable. The chart you displayed can also be interpreted alternatively; look at the period between 2007 and 2008, similar peak, similar drop then market peaked some more(a lot more actually) past 2008 and dropped brutally. Are we going to experience a similar roller coster? Or it is all down from here? I think this period is for jijoists, in hindsight some good stocks have fluctuated about a mean in d last 2 months. |
bennyflipy:If it goes below 180 sell, if it goes above 215-220 (7% to 10% up) sell and hold on till markets start showing decisive direction. |

It looks like there is a stampede for the door on some stocks, bloody week. |
Redoil:If you want to play it safe (very safe) go with MTN. 1. It has the least number of negative months, about 6 out 28 - since i started following d market. 2. It has been on accumulation mode ever since. 3. It is d list volatile, very steady. 4. In that 28 months, it as had a compounded monthly growth rate of 3%(not d best but acceptable given d low risk) 5. Airtel is pushing up, MTN may be next in line. |
yMcy56:I clearly mentioned stock price or did I not? While one is up 49% the other is 102%, why? yMcy56:So, it was battered for no reason? ![]() Someone famous once said that in the long term d stock market is similar to a voting machine. |
yMcy56:Since 2020 till now, FCMB stocks has outperformed UBA, why is that? Almost 3 good years, is this period not long enough for investors to see value and act accordingly or is there an underlying problem that you are not seeing? Or, even still, has the problem(assuming UBA had one) now been resolved? Regarding the Oga u quoted, nobody knows it all. I also predicted that FCMB will move up (it is here on this thread) when it was around 1.5 back in 2020 and it came to pass. When I started dabbling with charts, probably a lucky break. |
BabsO2: ositadima1: |
The line-up with regards to upside potential, I am about 65% sure :1. Fidelity 2. FBNH 3. ZENITHBANK 4. FCMB 5. GTCO 6. UBA After arranging the stocks using the 4 reasons in the previous post it surprisingly matched their PE ratios - Fidelity with d least and UBA the largest! |
BabsO2:I would choose FCMB over UBA for a few reasons. 1. FCMB distributed 20% out of its earnings to shareholders (2022) for about 6.6% yield, while UBA distributed a whole 70% for 13.3% yield. 2. Since March, 2020 (pandemic) FCMB has grown by 100% (doubled) while UBA has done 50% 3. The OBV, on-balance volume indicator shows that UBA has had sell-offs here and there, even recently. FCMB shows slow but steady accumulation. 4. For year 2022, UBA is up 5.59%, dividend and price appreciation inclusive. FCMB is up 13.33%. |
Simonokeh7:Same here, I have some very long shows I would want to watch or even finish. The likes of Smallville and Supernatural, a story about two brothers, angels, leviathans and d occult. |
Krisuba:Picture this - I quit my day job and start a business that is lucrative and make 400 millions in let's say 10 years. Now with my wealth I start investing in stocks and bonds targeting 12 to 13% in dividends, if I am lucky I get 20% with price appreciation. Even though in d next 10 year my investments may have doubled, it is quite different from cost averaging a few hundreds of thousands or even a few millions (Naira ) a year from savings out my annual salary. The later will see me creating wealth in my old age if i am lucky, who wants dat ![]() |
Toluway:Have you? There is a difference between reading a few reported rumors here and there and actually reading the facts. It seem he speculated with other people's moneys, buying businesses some of which were not even quoted on d stock exchange at the time. The markets seem to have consolidated his wealth not creat it. |
"Folks, the rich use the markets for income and wealth preservation—not to create it!" So says MJ DeMarco, na true? |
Ibrahim505:Are you in Nigeria? If u dey Nija why not got to your bank and have them send the damn mandate form. Alternatively, register with CSCS, Central Security Clearing System, for a very small annual fee. Among other things, in there you can chat with an attendant who can help you follow it up. I once had a similar issue and the attendant was very helpful. |
