If this was what really played out

TRUMP; Like him or hate him but the fact remains that the current state of servicing debt in America is currently unsustainable. Forget the hullabaloo that some of these MSMs are painting and ask yourself this, “What other approach would force the world to the negotiation table than this?”

I try as much as possible to watch the intent here rather than the tantrums being thrown by some world leaders back and forth.

Sometimes what appears to be a stupid idea is worth more than nothing at all.
The World Economy can't continue to kick the cans down the road.

We wait and see. No matter what the world does, the major players in this game are China and the EU. If they don’t bow and instead decide to retaliate, then it may not go as planned for Trump.

We wait and see. No matter what the world does, the major players in this game are China and the EU. If they don’t bow and instead decide to retaliate, then it may not go as planned for Trump.

Thirteen parallels between the thought process of Donald Trump as described in his book The Art of the Deal and his decisions and leadership style as President of the United States:

1. Focus on Negotiation and Deal-Making
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump emphasizes the importance of negotiation as an essential skill in business. He focuses on the art of striking a deal, always aiming for favorable terms and the best possible outcome, using leverage, and being willing to walk away if necessary.

• As President: This same negotiation mindset played a significant role in his foreign and domestic policies. For example, Trump’s “America First” foreign policy often revolved around re-negotiating trade deals (like NAFTA, renegotiated into USMCA) and pressuring NATO allies to meet defense spending commitments. His approach to North Korea, which included direct negotiations with Kim Jong-un, also reflected his deal-making mentality.

2. Emphasis on Confidence and Self-Promotion
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump stresses the importance of confidence and building a public persona. He talks about promoting oneself in the media and using publicity as a tool for business success.

• As President: Trump frequently leveraged media to amplify his image and reinforce his policies. He used Twitter as a tool to communicate directly with the public, often bypassing traditional media outlets, while also promoting his policies as successes regardless of criticisms. His self-confidence and media savvy became trademarks of his presidency.

3. A Willingness to Take Risks
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump talks about the importance of taking calculated risks and pursuing big opportunities, even when they seem daunting. He suggests that bold decisions often lead to greater rewards, and he reflects on risks he's taken throughout his business career.

• As President: Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement was a high-profile example of his willingness to take risks on the international stage. Similarly, his tax cuts, his stance on trade wars with China, and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic were often marked by unconventional decisions that had significant long-term implications.

4. Emphasis on Control and Centralized Power
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump repeatedly mentions his need for control in business and how he stays deeply involved in his projects. He values centralized decision-making and is not shy about asserting his authority.

• As President: Trump’s leadership style mirrored this emphasis on control. He often sought to centralize power in the executive branch, using executive orders to bypass Congress, and was known for making unilateral decisions. His administration’s stance toward the “deep state” and attempts to undermine checks and balances in government reflected this desire to have more centralized authority.

5. Adaptability and Opportunism
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump talks about the importance of being adaptable and spotting opportunities. He mentions how he has learned to pivot when circumstances change, often capitalizing on unforeseen moments.

• As President: This flexibility was evident in his changing stance on issues like immigration, healthcare, and international alliances. For instance, his shift on North Korea, where he initially advocated for "fire and fury" but later engaged in direct talks, mirrored his ability to adapt to new opportunities and challenges.

6. Relentless Focus on Winning
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump stresses that his goal in every venture is to win. He talks about having a competitive nature and not settling for anything less than victory, framing it as an essential mindset for success in business.

• As President: This obsession with winning became central to Trump’s presidency. Whether it was the 2016 election itself, his political battles with the Democratic Party, or his handling of issues like the economy, Trump often framed his policies as "winning" for the country. His "Make America Great Again" slogan reflected this focus on achieving success and victories, often casting opposition as "losers."

7. Understanding of the Importance of Perception and Image
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump talks about the importance of perception in business, explaining that how others view you is often more important than what is actually true. He’s aware of the power of image, public relations, and controlling the narrative.

• As President: Trump’s presidency was marked by his acute awareness of image and media narratives. He understood that controlling the media narrative and public perception was vital for his political success. His frequent use of social media to challenge negative portrayals and his emphasis on winning the “fake news” narrative were direct extensions of his emphasis on perception from his book.

8. Attention to Detail and Big Picture Thinking
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump often mentions the importance of balancing big-picture thinking with attention to detail. While he is focused on large-scale deals, he does not neglect the granular aspects that can make or break them.

• As President: Trump was known for being detail-oriented in areas like immigration policy (e.g., focusing on specific immigration numbers, border security measures, and trade details) while also focusing on the broader vision of reshaping America’s global role and restoring economic growth. This dual approach of thinking both strategically and tactically was evident throughout his presidency.

9. Aggressive Use of Leverage
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump talks about using leverage as a tool in negotiations. He stresses that having something the other party wants or needs gives you the upper hand in any deal.

• As President: Trump employed leverage in various diplomatic and economic negotiations. For instance, his administration used tariffs as leverage in trade talks with China and other countries. Similarly, his “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran utilized economic sanctions as a means of gaining diplomatic leverage.

10. Surrounding Himself with Strong People
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump highlights the importance of hiring the right people and assembling strong teams who complement his skills. He emphasizes his reliance on advisers and experts but also stresses that he keeps a tight grip on decision-making.

• As President: Trump's staffing decisions reflected this mindset. He selected individuals for key positions who were often seen as strong figures in their respective fields, such as Rex Tillerson for State and James Mattis for Defense. However, over time, his administration saw a high turnover rate, which was partly a result of his belief in surrounding himself with strong, capable individuals who could deliver on his vision but also his tendency to quickly dismiss people who didn’t align with his approach.

11. Controversial and Unconventional Tactics
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump admits to using unconventional tactics in business to break the norms and secure advantages. He is unapologetic about using bold, sometimes controversial approaches if they can help him achieve his goals.

• As President: This characteristic was evident in his presidency. For example, his decision to publicly criticize or challenge traditional allies (like NATO and the EU) was a break from conventional diplomatic norms. Similarly, his use of executive orders, and his approach to handling issues like immigration and the border wall, defied traditional political expectations and often sparked debate and controversy.

12. Crisis Management and Resilience
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump writes about how he’s learned to thrive in difficult situations, pointing out that the best opportunities often arise from challenges or crises. He speaks about his resilience in overcoming setbacks and turning adverse situations to his advantage.

• As President: Trump’s presidency was marked by several crises, from the Mueller investigation to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as racial tensions and impeachment. His ability to frame these challenges as opportunities, often deflecting blame or using them to rally his base, was a clear reflection of his crisis management approach. Even when facing political and legal challenges, he maintained his stance that adversity could be turned into a "win" for his political agenda.

13. Autonomy and the Desire to Control the Narrative
• In The Art of the Deal: Trump talks about the importance of maintaining autonomy in decision-making and how he dislikes being micromanaged. He emphasizes the need for an individual to control their narrative, especially when it comes to their business dealings.

• As President: Trump’s presidency was marked by his desire to maintain a high degree of control over the narrative, often deflecting or dismissing critical media coverage and preferring to operate independently rather than being bound by political norms or advice from advisors. His hands-on approach, from tweeting to public speeches, allowed him to dictate the message he wanted to project.

Thats the sad story of NGX.
I hardly wait for dividend cos of the above...
Just take your cap appreciation and run

Just paper losses. I am not moved, will only do cherry picking on some stocks I have been eyeing. Just waiting for the dividend to start rolling in to accomplish my task. 😁

ì do this sometimes as well

The way people are rushing out is how they will fomo in when things normalize

It is actually more than 9 new shares for 1, for example 100k existing shares by your calculation will amount to 1m that's additional 900k units.

Let's take the bonus issue one at a timeassuming original unit held - 100k)
1:4 bonus
100,000 + 400,000 = 500,000

Most recent 1: 5 bonus (units currently held 500k)
500,000 + 2,500,000 = 3,000,000units

Hence when this present bonus is allotted, it will amount to 3M units. Very impressive bedrock of generational wealth.

No be small thing ooo 😁

That time SEPLAT went as low as 290/300 because of the issues the company had then, na so we dey discuss the issue like play like play here.....
Peterichy kept shifting goal post and later was waiting for it @150...
Those that picked at N500/600 saw it as bad investment....... I don't even know Agba's role during that time 😁 but thank God for Oga Oracle and other few ogas that saw opportunity then.
Today, the rest was history.
If I get spare time, I fitt go search the page

Now someone will say SEPLAT is different.......but let's wait and see how Wale may likely solve the puzzle miraculously.
I still believe in OANDO.....

We stood with VFDGROUP, even when the company made loss but yet looking promising, as at today, and by qualification date, whosoever picked and was patient should be having 9:1 ( 9 new shares for 1 existing)
Sometimes, losses does not define a company with prospect if we can look much deeper beyond the present losses.

💯

* Honestly, the way some people are going about this Trump induced bear is not helping the newbies and new comers to this market......
* Let's stop painting the picture as if it's the end of the world or that the market is collapsing, or that the market is some kind of get-rich-quick place...
* Rather, let's try to reiterate and intensify the need for investing, the purpose and some education on how to go about downtime period in stock investing without running into massive losses.........
* Stop scaring new investors away, or making them to sell their stocks at loss....
* Let them see the need to rather see bear time as opportunity to pick more fundamental stocks at cheaper or discounted price.
* This is earning season, many companies are declaring nice dividends, it should rather be an opportunity to buy the dip and position for dividend collection.......while they wait for market to reverse up again.....
** Anyone that says I don't understand because I no get portfolio, no vex.

** My rantings doesn't end here......😁

You're very right..
It's actually more than 9 bonus shares......

* On top of 4 bonus before, you still get additional 20
* On top of the original One (1) you have before, you still get additional 5
25+5+ 5original = 30 shares.....

** Updated: 30:1 (30 new for 1)

* Hope my Arithmetics is correct sha. 😁

I agree with this sentiment
Even though, let's be real, the Trump trade policy is moronic

However, we can take advantage of the positive side to all these
The share prices sank before qualification date, so I suggest a 60/40 strategy
At least that's what I'm doing
60% into buying the Stocks now pre qualification

and 40% into buying post qualification (as markets will be marked down)

what would have been very painful was IF this happened after many qualification dates

But as market participants, our mission is to make the best of every market condition

The question is: How many investors are/were not in the market now aside Agba and Oga Mendes911?
What's the percentage?
Many already positioned before and after dividend announcement.
I don't expect any sane person to laugh anybody for being in the market when this unexpected came up.
** And then, how to mitigate against losses should be one our discussions here, as our brothers keepers.

During COVID-19 period, that was how it caught many investors that positioned unaware, only the brave, with God on their side were able to weather the storm.......but the very good thing still was: God took us thru the period and we still overcame (not talking about all those that made a fortune then o).
* This time too shall pass.
