Last week I created a thread talking about how my japa plans have been crushed due to the increase in dollar.

Many adviced me to invest in dollar, this was the advice they gave me months ago but I did follow through because I wasn't sure.
My last thread hit front page and 90% of the comments were advising me to invest in dollars, one even quoted that in the past 10 years, the dollar haven't fallen but it increases every year.

One even called me a weak minded person and I am scared to take risks.
After everything I thought to myself, since so many people felt this dollar will keep on rising, maybe I should invest afterall life is all about risks.

Well guess what, dollar have decreased, I invested 3M in buying dollars and now in today exchange rate. I have 2.6M now and I either cash out now or hope it will increase.

Right now, I am very angry.
Those giving me advice should come and contribute the 400k for me o

Another thing, do you think the dollar will increase or should I just cut my loses.
I am so tired 😫

Relax, this fickle minded boy.

The naira gains are just temporary, there's nothing on ground to sustain it.

Once the millions of dollars they borrowed to create artificial surplus fizzle out, depreciation will kick in again.

Most Nigerians are unpatriotic and it saddens me.. I doubt you'll ever see an Indian pray for their currency to fall so they can gain from hoarding of US dollars.. Our people should stop this greedy lifestyle and put the future of their kids into consideration.

I told a guy on here not too long that Naira will appreciate, he didn't believe reason being that whatever goes up in Nigeria doesn't come down.. I simply told him it'll shock him and today it's shocking everybody.

If you have joined bandwagon of unpatriotic individuals saving in dollars, premium tears is your portion if you don't back out before December.

Yeah, certain Nigerians "praying" for the downfall of the country is responsible for the failure of the government, not those who are budgeting over 50billion naira to purchase foreign cars or billions of Naira to renovate a building or to buy a luxury yacht. You people are clowns.

Stop making stories out of the Dollar situation to catch Nairaland clout. If you invested, there would have been a story about that.

Very well said.

I am only guessing. I am a digital marketer and earn in dollars. Just got a payment in and I am not converting it till maybe Wednesday. I think it will settle at 750 eventually but that will be dependent on dangote refinery.

You keep harping on Dangote refinery. Can you please give an explanation

Pay attention next time. What is driving the exchange rate has nothing to do with Nigeria. Jerome Powell(US equivalent of CBN governor) kept interest rate steady on Wednesday and US$ crashed against other currencies. Euro, pounds, Australian dollars, etc all recovered against US$. That's what helped naira and not Tinubu nor Nigerian CBN.

/

Sorry to disagree with you sir.
Even when the US reserve bank has been moving it's rate up and down, the Naira has been crashing.
For now, the CBN' effort at clearing the backlog of forex due the banks in solely responsible. The securitization of the NLNG 7 billion dollars will do more.

No be today US dey maintain rate abeg.

They don't want to sell even akara or render any service. Only to hoard dollar. I have some that keep coming to me to sell for them whenever I want to change money. They always want to buy from me at a lower rate.

Last month these speculators created heavy artificial demand and it go to almost $/N1400.
Like!! any small thing go and buy dollar, go and buy dollar as if they are in control of dollar rate grin . It's just a chance of luck for those who have money saved in USD already not a business venture. I'm sad Op finally fell for nonsense advise.

Later they will blame their leaders for everything.

Indeed it would rise again, but what she ventured into is for people with a lot of spare cash to hoard. That way they can forget it for months and even a year.

the action or process of investing money for profit. What I am saying in actual sense, is that what you did was not a good investment considering the factors on ground now. But understand that in investment, you either lose or gain. But in your own case now you have lost and you ran quickly to cry to us about your loss. I am very sure, if it had profited you, we will not hear pim from you. So bear the loss bro. It has happened it has happened. Same happened to me 2021/2022 crypto. what makes you a man is your ability to bear the loss.

jackmrandy:



The increase in dollar which you want, will cause more untold hardship to Nigerians and many companies. I quit understand you are running at loss already. But understand something buying another currency with the hope its going to increase in the future is not an investment. Those who advised you, advised you wrongly. there are other investment you could have done . FIXED ASSETS like land is what you should have invested your money into. Buying dollar to keep is like buying cryptocurrency like bitcoin and others. YOU either withdraw your money now and let go of the loss, or if you can take more risk, leave it and see if it will appreciate more again.

This your post them tire me.

Have you ever put money in somewhere with no hope of making profit?

All of una think say land na the investment of all time. Have you tried selling a land?
Can't you tell it instantly?

Don't just rely on what people say. If you want to do this type of investment, you follow news on finance ministry and the CBN to know how to take your risk and predict the naira to the dollar.

Unfortunately, these are the set of people that will change their TV channel the moment it is time for business news on Arise, TVC or channels.

Extremely lazy Nigerian youths.

Some of us used to think this way until we understand the Nigerian system and then we gave up. The average mind set of Nigerians is so selfish, and filled with religion, tribe and greed.

Or learn about Nigerian stock market and invest in it. The Nigerian stock market is having it's best year by adding at least 11 trillion naira already just this year alone.

Sir, with all due respect there is a difference between speculation and risk taking.
Investing in any venture is taking a risk. Not even investing is taking a risk. Speculation is different sir.
