you are going off radar bro.

I wasn't following any radar, just asking some questions that have been bothering me.

emmanuelewumi:
Very good, not among the top 10 in terms of the value of stocks traded.


More like the volumes are mainly penny stocks

But what value does one broker provide over the other? From where I stand I don't see why the large variation in commission.

None of them provide APIs for bots to trade automatically which is not cool. So what is d value offered that necessitate d discrepancies in commission.

Please don't bring up d availability of analysis tools or exceptionally good correspondence cos d fundamental function of a broker is to enable us access the market and Morgan Capital is doing ok there.

Windshield

[quote author=cool007][/quote]I don't think I can answer this question objectively because I have only used Morgan Capital. From what I have gathered here, they are one of d cheapest.

They seem to be ok, never had any serious issues dealing with them. I think they charge about 4k(not sure b/w 4k and 5k) per anum to maintain the online platform beside the purchase/sale fees at approx 0.9%/1.28% respectively.

Regarding customer service I have never needed to call them, I communicate via mail and response is quick. Never been to their office.

Please change John's school so that he can have a better future

What do u mean . Are u saying I am not taking good care of my son, John? How do u gauge a good school?

For you information he can solve second order partial differential equations, he is definitely going places .

ok

Lion123:
Lol. Ever heard of Morgan and 0.5% brokerage fees?

Wrong! Morgan is about 2.2 for a round trip of buying and selling

moneymanager:
Pls subtract taxes and bought and sale transaction account charges from the profit and give us the remaining percentage

3.1% - 2.2% = 0.9%

100k --> #900 --> 3 bottles of Hero
1mil --> #9k --> 9 bottles of Hero + Fish pepper soup for 3
2mil --> #18k --> 3 bottles of Hero + Fish pepper soup + Fuel for car
10mil --> #90k --> Johns' SSS1, first therm school fees + books + unifoms

First of the north star

lol, where i learnt how to charge before a fight in school .

Voltron

I had this very action figure, then lost it . The legs and arms detach as separate robot tigers. You know, it was a teem of 5. When they are against an opponent they usually start fighting separately, when the fight gets too heated up they marge to form voltron the super robot .

Saint Seiya

This was also a good one, nice story line and awesome theme song.

Spiral Zone

If you grew up in d late 80's or early 90's you would know this cartoon, it was very good. I even had a few action figure I played with. oh! and the theme song was good

Finish, resolved

locodemy:
This is not a disputable issue nah.It is BTW you and them to resolve.

In my own case my account was credited twice after making payment. I used the money immediately and made my 10% then. It took 8days for them to realise the error and corrected it. In all I made a significant profit on the deal.

pls unquote me

Superseded

I don't see d hype about Invisible, it is just an average cartoon, I did rather watch tom and Jerry or even road runner at least it makes me laugh, I am 2 episodes in though.

Here are some old school cartoons(80's and 90's) I enjoyed as a kid:

Spiral Zone
Saint Seya
Tiger Man
First of the north star
Vultus 5
Voltron
Manga Sarutobi Sasuke

Cyborg 009

Happy New Year guys.

I said I was going to start trading the strategy with 1 mil and that is what I did.

The strategy spat out MANSARD and so I bought it, no question asked just a few searches on this thread and noting negative turned up.

I am up 12% already, let's see what happens between now and 3 months time. I might exit before then if it goes above 50% though. If it goes down I hold till march ending and count my losses.

@Mcy56 I owe u, and I always pay my debts.

Remember this post? Well the strategy spat out MANSARD, I followed it and made 450k or there about from d 1 mil invested.

Ok, d strategy was supposed to work out a ticker every quater. Well, last one was supposed to be April but I missed it. It actually chose Japaul Gold but I was working remotely and couldn't buy it.

Well, I tweaked d strategy some to generate tickers every month, meaning that my new holding time is one month max.

Strategy told me to go long on Guinness and that is what I tried to do today. I was able to buy 21,837 shares @27.5 out of required 36,000 units. Probably make it up tomorrow. Let's see howmuch I will gain or loose by month end. I will probably sell if I hit +30% sha.

#systematic trader

meine:
Yeye people, using mouth to transfer 100million and 5 million units. Maybe my people dont even have one single unit of CAVERTON who knows.

SeaTrade:

lol,

Me sef used to live aimlessly even on nairaland . Before na romance section, education section, betting section and tech, frolicking away my time, until i found this thread in 2016. I believe this was my first post bellow:

ositadima1:
I am planning to submit my bid on monday. What is the deadline for the next bid at the FBN?

Started small, unsure of this thing called NTB. From here i developed interest in personal finance and began expanding my knowledge from several other sources. Last year I joined the stock thread and started trading and buying stocks. To cut the story short I have benefited so much from you guys, especially the old timers, currently my investments yield almost half of my annual salary, hopefully someday it will overtake it.

I am also eyeing the real estate thread, maybe, if God is merciful I can venture into that.

Anyhoo, God-bless NL, God-bless Seun, God-bless you guys, God-bless Nigeria.

yMcy56:
How much was Vitafoam as at the time of that post quoted and how much is it now?
You missed entry at lower/bargain price shey? Opportunities still abound in NSE.
E Pele Sir.

Pls mention some of these opportunities. I get small money I won put down for long term.

Thuna:
CYPHER is very good too... Check the trailer out on YouTube..

Cypher was awesome. Same dude that acted in "True detective"

brainhack:
Altered Carbon, West World, Love Death + Robots

From your context, I think you should explore animes. You can start with The Promised Neverland.

Oh! I enjoyed "Love, death and robots" especially episode 8, "Good Hunting". Very sensual.

thatthickgurl:
Please recommend series that'll keep me engrossed, series that I'll lose sleep over just because I want to know what happens next.

For context, Black Mirror and Blindspot are series that I enjoyed so much.

Don't bother saying blacklist, it's trash

1. Hanna
2. Alex Rider
3. Counterpart
4. Watchmen
5. Queens Gambit
6. A teacher
7. Carnival row
8. Kingpin katie
9. Preacher
10. My Brilliant friend
11. Lucifer
12. Sneaky Pete
13. Stranger things

I can go on and on. What a time to be alive. I wish I could forget these show so that I could watch them again fresh.

Anyhoo, check these out and if u are not satisfied I can add more and more and more.

Donbrig:
Well, I read your post before you deleted it. I don't have any issue with Okonjo-Iweala's suggestions on how to move the country forward. OBJ is also proffering his own solutions, likewise GEJ and all our past leaders.

My question is, how come our leaders always know how to fix the country before they get into power or when they are no longer in power? And during their administrations they were all stupid and useless to the country.

Lol, I though my post was kind of irrelevant to the thread and deleted it.

The problem is that our political system is designed in such a way that it filter "good" candidates off and then we are left with people with questionable character. If you are a honourable fellow with decent principles you will not make it far in the Nigerian political clime.

U can check for yourself if we ever had "good" leaders in recent times.

Another is that a tree cannot make a forest. A single "good" person or a bunch of "good" persons will not be able to make an impact irrespective of position held. In fact it is the quickest way to get destroyed.

Based on the ideas above, and in my opinion the way to go as a leader surrounded by men and women of questionable character is to make random unconnected moves and then link them all up in a final blow. Brute force is not the answer, rather lots of smarts, cleverness, strategy and very important leveraging technology.

to b honest, all our computer science graduates and statisticians should all be employed with fat pay. With the size of our human resource we should be generating millions of gigabytes of data. The world is now data driven. At the level of government every single action should be informed by data.

deepwater:
This argument is weak.
Princess needs a good lawyer to nail this guy.
For the police to say this event is a bailable offence, you should know that there is a lot of missing gaps between this video and whatever happened 7 seven years ago.

It is quite sad that justice sometimes realies on concrete evidence rather than what truly happens.. very sad I must say.

I am not in support of older people taking advantage of minors in any way. But, the law is supposed to be fair and impartial, a lot people in Nother part of Nigeria marry minors and the same law does nothing to address that. It doesn't even make the news anymore.I stand with fairness.

In the video I watched, there was no evidence of rape, so rape is out of d question.

A well behaved kid would have walked away. Dude should have respected the girls parents and the trust they had in him.

The solutions to our problems are inside that post above. I wish Buhari can take some time from his busy schedule and read this.

Strategies for winning the fight against corruption - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

That corruption and poor governance are key factors holding back Africa’s development are notions deeply embedded in the literature and thought on Africa’s socioeconomic development. What is not so common is discourse and success stories about how to systematically fight this corruption. Though this may sound discouraging, I can tell you, from my experience, that it is indeed possible to fight corruption successfully with the right knowledge, patience, and commitment to transparency.

To fight corruption, we must first understand it. Underlying the various forms of corruption—grand, political, and administrative, which include public resource transfers to private entities, allocation of public resources to political allies, and misuse of public funds—are three important factors. The first is a lack of transparency of critical financial and other information central to economic development, in particular revenues and budgets. Second is the weakness or total absence of institutions, systems, and processes that block leakages. Third is the pervasiveness of impunity—limited political will to hold accountable and punish those found guilty of such corruption.

Between the three, the tougher problem is how to build strong and enduring institutions. Building institutions takes time and does not deliver the quick results that typically attract politicians or donors. But it is essential if Africa is to fight corruption systematically and ensure long-term stability. We are fortunate to now have technology that enables us to build electronic platforms to manage government finances, biometric systems to bring integrity to our personnel and government payment systems, and web-based platforms to provide transparency of government finances. We need to go even further to see how we can deploy blockchain and other emerging technologies to underpin our contract negotiations and procurement systems, a huge source of corruption and leakage in many countries.

We should combine these efforts with building strong and independent audit and justice systems, including a well-resourced judiciary and an oversight office to field complaints. We also need to create an environment that enables strong and accountable civil society organizations that provide oversight of government. Such strong and independent institutions have a salutary effect on political will as they exert the necessary pressure on politicians, even at the highest levels, to act. Such initiatives take patience and determination though, since building these institutions, systems, and processes may take a decade or more.

My experience in Nigeria showed that a decade spanning three administrations was necessary to build well-functioning technology platforms for managing the country’s finances. The savings in terms of blocked leakages, amounting to over a billion dollars, made it worthwhile.

We found that supporting institution building with openness and transparency of revenue and budgetary data provides a win that can be implemented quickly. The increasing accessibility of the inter net via mobile phones and various analytic apps makes it easier now more than ever to share with citizens information on revenues and expenditures. Publishing monthly data in national newspapers on local, state, and federal government revenues was unprecedented in Nigeria when we started in 2004, but it helped us gain public support for our initiatives going forward. It laid the basis for much more sophisticated analytics on the budget shared widely via the internet today.

Africa needs to focus its anti-corruption fight on long-term, high-return institution building activities, coupled with the justice infrastructure and political will to hold those who transgress accountable. This process should start by making key government statistics open and transparent, enabling citizens to keep on top of important information and build trust in their governments. Only with these pragmatic approaches can the continent record wins against corruption.
