Happy Birthday to Nairaland. Thanks for sticking with us!

happy Birthday, dude. Have fun!

@papillo:
1. Yes, treasury bills appear to be issued all year long, every 2 weeks. The amount sold at each auction is the what they adjust based on need.
2. [s]I don't think so. It seems to be all electronic[/s].
3. Yes, the interest in Nigerian Treasury bills is paid upfront. Which is awesome.
4. Ask this guy: https://www.nairaland.com/779700/inspired-autos-bureau-de-change

oyb: by now, i would have thought there would be a whitelist of posters who the spambot would simply iggnore.

Yes. Moderators. If we were to maintain a more comprehensive white-list, how would you recommend that we should choose people to be on it?

OmolodMilkman93: y re posts been hidden in wer we re suppose to make suggestions,.... Dis shit is getting out hand,.... TOTALITARIANISM

There was a misunderstanding about whether the AntiSpam bot can be trained or not.

k4kenny: @ Seun
I'll always use nairaland its my favorite site ever!. Howerver I can't aviod the topic

If you go that way, you are likely to be banned again. Apologies in advance.

Trigger Happy: You are right, even SEUN got 3rd class but he used his third class knowledge very well by creating NAIRALAND.

This is a completely false & deceptive lie. It's not even funny. Update: The last time I checked my CGPA, it was 4.83. It was quite ok.

gluv01: Ok, please to clarify, your point is that I shouldn't use the foreign language again. Right?

Nope. The AntispamBot just tries to guess which posts are spam and which ones are ham. Sometimes it makes a mistake and must be corrected.

gluv01: I've been released. My point is I was given no reason, and I need to know the reason so as to stay safe.

The reason is that you used a foreign language word that had only been used by foreign forum spambots at the time you submitted your post.

Thanks for your suggestions. We appreciate them very much & we will implement the ones that are in line with our goals at the right time.

@Nessafresh: Thank you for your suggestions. We will think about them.
@sexkillz: Good idea.

Noted,but pls try to avoid that topic from now on. Thanks for using Nairaland!

We are sorry about this. Let me know the mod's name so I can tell him/her to stop doing that.

The treatment you got was appropriate for a persistent spammer, but your history suggests that you are not a persistent spammer, therefore you have been unbanned. Posts about get rich quick schemes like a2w are strictly forbidden.

Has he been released?

Update: I've just noticed that his name was not listed among the four suspects paraded by the Customs.

Malawian: everybody has the right to be heard. hidding post infringes on such fundamental human right. let others decide what they take in and not control the direction of the discuss. i say, let freedom reign.

You don't have the right to be heard on someone else's property. Go to a man's house in any country to toast his wife, and he will probably kick you out. No one will defend your right to freedom of speech in that situation. You are free to start your own website or blog to post whatever you like, but when you are on Nairaland, you must respect the rules of Nairaland.

[quote author=val_dubem]Now my question is: how Do you know if a stock is over-valued, as you cannot always follow your instincts and at times your analysis may fail you.[/quote]The true value of a company is the discounted value of all its cash flows (profits or dividends). It is the amount of money which, if invested today in risk-free long-term securities like 30 year FGN bonds, will earn the same amount of money over time as the company in question, after tax. So before you can value a company, you need to know how much money company is likely to make in the near and distant future. You can figure that out by studying the financial statements of the company carefully. It will tell you what assets are owned by the company, their current and past profitability, etc, which you can then try to project into the future. See www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/begfinstmtguide.htm for more details about how to read financial statements. Financial statements in Nigeria are probably not as reliable as financial statements in the developed world, so you have to read between the lines to figure out whether the management is trying to deceive shareholders or not. If this seems like hard work, then yes, that's exactly what it is. You can't make much money in any venture without working hard.

Once you've determined the true value of any company, you should divide it by the number of shares outstanding to get the true value of each share of the company. If the shares are cheaper than the true value, then they are under-valued. If they are more expensive, then they are over-valued. Due to the fact that your estimate of the value of the company may not be exactly right, you should only buy shares that are significantly cheaper than their true value. For the same reason, you should only sell stocks that are significantly more expensive than their true value. If you need to sell your shares during an emergency, you should sell the most over-valued or least under-valued stocks in your portfolio.
