Atlass Portfolios = ATLS. Well, they ain’t perfect, but I’ve enjoyed them far better than the current MCSE. Submitting orders on their platform has been pretty smooth for me. The only mutual issue that I’ve observed between them and MCSE is the sudden changes in the high, low, and last prices on the trading platforms. I often need to refresh my watchlist to see the current values. That may be from the CSCS API.

elpaso007:
I'm referring to Atlas Portfolio.

To be honest, I have not really looked them that much. So my comment's based on the user reviews I read here.

Their trading interface is essentially the same as Morgan's from what's shared back then.

I'm curious to know if you also experience trade execution delays with Atlas Portfolio?

Morgan's delays can be more than 30 minutes sometimes.

I assume you’re referring to ATLS. I had no issues opening an account with them and funding it. They credit my trading account within 30 minutes of wiring my funds to them. I still paid in today, and the experience was the same.

elpaso007:
I have read complaints about them as well.

I recall someone complained about account funding or loggin in to their trading account.

Same here—I’ve been with MCSE for decades, but their dwindling service quality and revised fees structure have made me move my trading activities away from them. Although I still hold some long-term assets in my portfolio with them. Scalping and swinging require minimizing transaction costs.

megawealth01:
I've been using Morgan for decades oooo

Change to Atlass Portfolios for your gambling trades so that you can retain more of your loots.

megawealth01:
Add MERITRADE

I use MERITRADE and INVESTNAIJA for my long term purchases then Morgan for gambles

I know. That was just a cruise.

Skewness fit dey ooo, when things are not allowed to go naturally. For example, most people in politics have criminal tendencies. Why? Because bad politicians do not allow the normal voting process to take place.

Pure normal distribution without any skewness .

Lol I was going to check updated posts and mistakenly clicked on the page that post appeared on. . I’ve been on the thread prior to 2013 when that post was made. @sboga has taken his place now.

chimex38:
Lol @bolded... You must have really gone back Memory Lane of this thread..

I can relate.

Characters have been through this thread! Who knows ihedioramma‘s whereabouts?

SO IF YOU ARE TO BUY NOW CAN YOU BUY JAPAUL OIL? OR DO WE BUY THE STOCK NOW?

Senior “Birisope” (“Legbuke” in Benin/Edo language), I greet you.

The key is starting early … That’s how the discipline and tenacity required for great financial success are acquired. Good luck on the journey to your next milestone.

When Savings and Investment Are Not Optional, but a Priority
Growing up with Iya Ijebu, my late maternal grandmother, shaped my mindset about money. I ended up living with her because my father was a polygamist — three wives, many children. Resources were stretched, and everyone had to learn early.
I remember that at age six, I already had a kolo (a clay piggy bank). She would give me coins to put inside it. More importantly, she taught me discipline — I had to keep it in a secret place where only I knew. I enjoyed filling my kolo with the Nigerian coins of those days. Apologies to the generation of Nigerians who never had the privilege of spending coins.
Fast forward. After high school, while waiting for my SSCE results, I worked at a construction site known locally as Birisoke (a Yoruba term). You earned your money in cash at the end of each day. That experience taught me the dignity of labour and the value of money earned through sweat.
By God's grace, I passed my SSCE with five credits and four distinctions. University admission, however, did not come easily. The era of late Abacha was marked by endless strikes. Looking back, those years felt even tougher than the present economic situation in Nigeria.
Eventually, I gained admission into my favourite varsity — Aqua Marine. The Akokites will understand the reference.
After graduating with a Second Class Upper, NYSC posted me to Abuja. At the end of my service year, I travelled across Nigeria searching for a job that never seemed to exist. But giving up was never an option.
Eventually, I was privileged to secure employment with the Federal Government. I was deployed to a toxic ministry where I quickly realised that your degree does not automatically place you above a director or manager with an ordinary level certificate or even an Arabic certificate, who has spent 10–20 years in service. You are answerable to them. The system is structured around “first come, first rise.”
After three years, I knew that environment was not for me.
Then opportunity came. A retiring merchant was selling his business in a prime location in Abuja — high human and vehicular traffic (don’t ask me the location). I took a bold step. I bid for the business and financed it using a personal loan, proceeds from disposed equities, and an aggressive investment fund I had been consistently building.
By the grace of God, the business returned my purchase price twofold in the first 12 months.
The rest, as they say, is history.
When life was tough, I blamed everyone — the government, Goodluck Jonathan, and even the so-called village people. Today, I see things differently. Government is not the primary reason many people struggle. Even the “village people” have their own trailer loads of problems.
The real issue is mindset.
Learn from many Igbo traders in Abuja. Some never worked for government, some never attended formal universities, many speak mostly pidgin English, yet communicate effectively in Hausa. They are extremely successful in their chosen entrepreneurship.
Meanwhile, many graduates with multiple degrees and polished grammar are still waiting for government rescue.
From my observation, there may never be collective prosperity in Nigeria. Individuals must free themselves from the oppressive system through personal initiative.
I refused to japa because I am my own boss. I believe my colleagues who relocated abroad cannot look down on me in any endeavour of life.
If I have just one request from the Nigerian government, it would be this: fix electricity. I want to venture into a 20-ton agro-processing factory capable of turning ₦2 billion into ₦8 billion within five years. The only limiting factor is stable electricity. Diesel or solar significantly erodes both seed capital and projected profits, based on my feasibility studies.
Finally, savings and investment are not optional — they are priorities.
We should enjoy life, but also plan for the years ahead.
With God, we will surely reach our goals.
NGX mission: ₦1B achieved.
NYSE mission: $1M — on course.

Jokes apart,in terms of corruption,na only Peter Obi be the only better name for the opposition. The rest of them are all bunch of criminals who once benefitted from the same APC

I wonder why people are trying to defend them as if they're saints where in real sense, they're not

Follow who know road, my brother. On Chuka’s mandate you shall stand! 🙌

megawealth01:
CHUKA dey lead we dey follow am...

You fit try Iran own as well, maybe he go give you better performance.

Agbalowomeri:
I get agbo plug

Do you want to get some from them to help your babes ministry?

Agbalowomeri:
The testosterone they are sharing is it good?

Iran needs more testosterone for the next phase, so they need to block the Strait of “Hormones” to limit their progesterone.

Agbalowomeri:
Na wa o the banks are starting another journey technically

Iran do close strait of hormones against us

How did “millions” with a “m” turn into “billions” with a “b”? Abracadabra. “You never see anything” (in Solo’s voice).

CHUKA don start work

Well, the event might have happened a while back, but they’ve just concluded the trial and finalized the judgement.

chimex38:
I think this is old news..i have kinda seen this before.

Wonder why it's resurfacing.

It won’t be surprising if there are some Nigerian companies on this table: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crl1441816po

It’s really a pathetic situation. Many of our people back home and some abroad don’t see those atrocities they (the Asians) commit.

Cousin9999:
Exactly.

Indians with completely fake resumes who hire someone to do their job interviews, who cheat on every exam, and who hire people to do their work at their job.

Indians who exported their gang problem to Canada.

Indians who are constantly assaulting their women and tourists.

Crime knows no color, race, tribe, or gender. The same India that her citizens are fraudsters, hardened criminals abroad has Nigerians perpetrating various crimes within her borders.

Zenith or GTCO will not experience this because of the interim dividend. This year will even be unique because their interim dividends will closely follow their previous year’s finals.

ogawisdom:
Spot on, the supplies will soon hit Zenith Bank after qualification date. Bank offers are usually crazy you will see 45m offer vs 5m bid lol, It will settle below 90 say 85.

MTN is still stubborn refusing to go below 700, sentiment around MTN is very strong with many buyers waiting to take up every price dip.

Ucap touched 15.85 today and i scooped some, same stock ppl were fighting to buy above 18 before qualification date.

Well, I just completed the amount that I needed yesterday. Maybe I’d contact you the next time I need USDC.

seanwilliam:
I can get you any amount of USDc

Sorry to diverge from the topic of this thread. Has anyone here ever successfully added a GTBank Debit Mastercard to Apple Pay or Apple Wallet?

Take this one hold body before CBN releases the chokehold.

https://www.nairaland.com/8646897/zenith-bank-leads-structural-transformation

Naira for USDC swap deal available. A significant volume needed.

I only tried to clarify; it wasn’t clear from your post that you were joking.✌️

Sunrisepebble:
Sorry sir forgive me for jesting

Who’s this one?

ghm:
He is obviously joking, it is not everything you respond to seriously here.

There nothing like restrategizing here, they simply haven’t gotten the go-ahead nod from the CBN. They’ve long submitted their AFS containing their proposed dividend and bonus (if any) to the apex bank.

Sunrisepebble:
Zenith restrategizing after GT yesterday
