At times when people search the internet for stock trading strategies and post here,my people do swallow it hook,line and sinker thinking they have mastered the process of making huge profits from nse.
Have you ever asked yourself these questions
1.some companies with good eps and always declare fantastic dividends every year and the share price remains low.
2.company like transcorp with bleak future in terms of dividends still remain investors toast
3.investors still don't have confidence in the oil companies listed despite oil is the driver of our economy.

You will just get HBP!!!

You will be making money for the stockbroker!

If you invested N1m and it drops by 2%, you will sell off.

Let's get a better understanding of your strategy:

You buy a stock X at N1 and the broker charges you 1.5% on your buy. You will pay N15,000 to your broker first. Then they will use the remainder to buy you stock X. You will get 985,000 units.

If after buying, stock X loses 2%, you will sell off.
2% loss on N1 buying price is 98kobo. So you will sell 985,000 units at 98kobo.
Amount that would be realised will be N965,300.

Broker says that you will pay 1.8% for the sell commission. So you pay N17,375.44!!!

You have a final value of N947,924.6 in your portfolio.

Now let's see who is gaining/losing amongst the market, the broker and you.

You: N1,000,000 - N947,924.6 = N52,075.4

Market: 2% of your sum invested (N985,000) = 0.02 X N985,000 = N19,700

Broker: buy + sell commission= N15,000 + N17,375.4= N32,375.4

What this means is that a greater percentage of the money you lost went to the broker

And that is (32,375.4 ÷ 52,075.4) X 100%= 62% of the money you lost went to the broker. While market only took 38%.

Stop working for the brokers!!!

WAPCO not so exciting. Technically sick to attract funds,the stock is in a fallen knife state, who wants to hold it ?

PETERiCHY:
Very lucid reasoning. 

The major secret of billionaires is their ability to find solutions to the challenges of humanity. All of them created solutions that brought the billions. Presently, Bill Gates is spending millions of dollars in search of renewable energy. By the time he finds one and become a major player in the electricity industry, we will say he is lucky. But we forget that he didn't pray for financial breakthrough, he only found a solution to a global problem.

Wealthy people don't necessarily look for money, they create solutions, and money will follow them! Larry Page and Sergey Brin went all out to help humanity find things faster on the internet, and billions of dollars followed them. Mark Zuckerberg created platforms for socialization, and over $71 billion followed him. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak went all out to reduce the size of computer. What problems are you solving for humanity? 

Some people spend weeks on the mountain praying for financial breakthrough without knowing what to do to be rich. They just want to be rich anyhow. It doesn't work that way. Real wealth comes through solving problems. Real wealth comes when we take a critical look around us, see the challenges that surrounds us, and proffer solutions to them. 

One of the major reasons why millions of Africans live below the poverty line is our belief that magic wands will suddenly mint money for us. How many cups of mustard seeds did Mark Zuckerberg eat that made him an 'instant' billionaire? How many bottles of anointing oil did Jeff Bezos drink that turned him into an overnight owner of Amazon?

This is how potential billionaires pray: "Dear Lord, Nigeria has elecrity problem and I want to solve it. Lord, baptise me with fresh ideas on how to solve this problem, and connect me to the right partners to make it happen. Thank you Lord." God will definitely download creative ideas into their minds.

Unfortunately, this is how majority of us pray: "Oh Lord, I command anyone who said that I will not prosper to collapse and die by fire!" Another person will say: "Lord, I need financial favour. I need divine connections. I need financial breakthrough urgently. Lord send money to me today." When God listens to our prayers sometimes, I believe He will look down from the balcony of heaven and wonder why we failed to understand that wealth creation opportunities surrounds us. 

*I'm not belittling prayer, but most of us pray amiss*; I pray myself.

Dear friend, it is time to change your thinking and prayer pattern. Stop looking for shortcut to the top, start looking for the problems you can solve for humanity. Money is actually a reward for solving problems for people.

Keep soaring!

Negative divergence happens when the price of a security is in an uptrend and a major indicator - such as the moving average convergence divergence (MACD), price rate of change (ROC) or relative strength index (RSI) - heads downward.

They have a history of controlling the shareholding structure in every company they have a stake in. Nigeria obviously will not be an exemption.
