You trade equity options. The "right to buy" shares at a given price for a fee. That means you might bet against stocks as often as you bet that stocks will grow. How do you choose which stocks to bet for or against? can you give us examples of recent trades and reasons behind them?

Give us more insight into how you are able to put food on your table from what looks like a game!

on what market are the stocks you are referring to traded? this might allow us reply you better

It doesn't matter. if you own stocks, whether in Nigeria or in the US, we want to know what made you pick those particular stocks!

Technical Analysis all the way!

I try to avoid days when earnings are reported!

Are you a professional trader? Can you name some specific stocks you've picked, why you picked them, and whether they have performed to your expectation?

Why wouldn't the tips about effects of fast food apply to Mr. Biggs? afterall, fast food is fast food whether you buy it in Nigeria or the US.

however, fast food outlets in Nigeria are not yet as popular as mcdonalds, so the other tips won't apply.

This question is for those of us who currently have some money invested in the stock market:
How do you choose which publicly traded stocks to invest in?

Do you rely on business newspaper reports, analysis of general trends like globalization, hot tips about mergers and acquisitions, analysis of the graph showing the direction in which the stock is moving, or IPO adverts?

In answering this question, can you disclose which stocks markets you participate in and what percentage of your income is now in the stock market?

I am interested in what dearzi has to say, since she has testified to the healing of her sister. This is a great opportunity to learn a lot. dearzi is a gift to this forum.

Reverend and 4getme, please do not post on this thread any further. Please.

@joyalways
Aaah!! i'm based in the US, but my brother, who is a Christ Embassy pastor in Kent, called me y/day to tell me that our baby sister got healed, she's had a hairline fracture for about 11yrs, i'm in tears even as i write this, the bones had healed over each other, so she couldn't extend her arm, but at the program she got her healing, 10 years!!!! who ever doesn't believe in miracles, i don't know what to say! this is my own sister!!!! same mother and father, no one layed hands on her Cry (tears of joy) but she was screaming at the background when i was talking to my brother this evening also, she said "my hand is straight" i'm so excited, it is indeed the set time for Zion,

I can't begin to list all the things that are happening in our lives, but i'm so excited about my sister, healed in the name of Jesus!! she didn't go to Nigeria, she was at the program in London!!!

@ Nwoke
What would you like to know? i can tell you. She called me this morning, to tell me again, she got her arm fractured when she was playing soccer, she was about 8yrs old, she left for the UK to have surgery and stuff, and nothing worked, if she could be screaming and calling up the whole world to share her news, it really must be something for her to shout about, that's why i'm happy, because for her age, she saw too much because of that arm, from the hands of those ijaw people that were trying to force the hand to straighten, from the con lady that claimed she was specially trained in massage therapy, it's so much, i can't tell you all, but what i can tell you is, Embarrassed as a family we saw HELL because of that arm, and after 10yrs we have a miracle,

Larger_20 and 4real, thanks for rejoicing with me, as you rejoice with my family, the Lord will shower you with favor, your mouths will be filled with laughter, He will put new springs in your feet, beat down every mountain before you in Jesus name, you will walk in victory, goodness and mercy will never be far from you in Jesus name. You will burst forth in testimonies in Jesus name. I'm just so glad, because when the Lord turned around our captivity, as He did Zion, we were indeed like them that dreamed, and all those areas where you need a turn around, receive a turn around, even now in the name of Jesus. (Y'all are bringing tears to my eyes)

Ok, dearzi, we hear you but we need more info. This is not to doubt you but to convince ourselves.
- Were you aware of this fracture before it happened?
- When did your sister leave for the UK?
- How old is your sister now?
- Can you get her to join the forum and testify?

In your answers, we'd like you to differentiate between:
- What you saw with your own eyes.
- What your baby sister told you.
- What your brother, a christ embassy pastor, told you.

Welcome to nairaland, Clemsonfan!

The thread How Much Is a Good Salary In Nigeria? answers your question very well.

Would having a masters make this salary higher?

Yes, but it would also make it difficult for you to get a job with smaller companies. if they can't afford to pay the higher fee they think you are worth because of your masters degree, they simply won't hire you!

is there any romance on Big Brother at the moment?

Why is "wife material" Kelly Rowland still single? Wife material was engaged in 2004 after a NFL player proposed to her , expected to marry in 2005 and this is 2006 and "wife material" is still unmarried. Please explain.

why do married women dress well when their husbands are away?

To impress other men, so they can lust after her.

You mean that women display their boobs, thighs, buttocks and tummies and wear transparent clothes to impress other women? If so the world must be full of lesbians and bi-sexual women!

However, I am a man. I do not waste my time admiring 'sexy' men. It's simply not logical. Beauty and fashion is all about impressing the opposite sex. Women dress "sexy" to attract men. If it was not so, they would not feel the need to display more skin and wear transparent clothes.

You go girl; I'm behind you!

Trolltech's QT is probably the best C++ GUI and C++ code abstraction toolkit out there. It has graphics, networking, memory management, and just about everything you need and it weighed 800kb or so last time I checked. It can also be statically compiled so you don't need to distribute any DLLs with your app.

What about QT is pissing you off? Is it the price of the more important Windows version?

Can someone supply us with tangible information about this album. I'm dying to listen to some of the songs or at least know the title of the album of some of the wordings from the tracks you guys say you ehard on radio!

Oh, I hate debugging so much. It's bad enough that sometimes it takes hours to complete a small program, but isn't it really annoying when a program that took 30 minutes to initially write takes several hours to complete because of some minor bugs?

The worst kind of bugs are runaway pointers and memory leaks in C/C++. Typographical errors in dynamic/scripting languages like PHP can also be difficult to track down when they don't trigger parsing errors but affect your results. That's the cost of flexibility.

In summary, I hate having to spend hours debugging a simple program; it makes me feel unproductive. That must be my own poison. for that reason alone, I'm going to be working with freelancing programmers a lot.

This is another case where modern science and culture has progressed beyond that of the bible, forcing biblical apologies to insist that the more refined norms we follow today were in the bible all along. Moderate drinking of alcohol, like slavery, was never condemned in the bible.

Nice one. Those who work in stuffy corporations would appreciate them a lot!

Eyebrows? You want to buy eyebrows? You don't have eyebrows?

Your university degree is important to employers in Nigeria, as well as your experience which is most important. However, if you know people in management, you can get a good job after completing your MCSE training. No junior-level manager wants to be blamed for hiring non-degree holder that failed to perform!

I see that you're representing MTEL very well on the forum. Keep it up!

I think it's smart for a parent to be approachable like mamaput. What you instill in them willingly, because they want to listen to you, will last longer than what you try to instill to them by force and fear. Children learn by example. If you are well-mannered when you're around your kids, they'll be well-mannered too. If you are not, then all the cane in the world won't make them turn out right.

The Nigerian way didn't work for the parents of Abacha, Ojukwu, Dokubo, Alameigseigha, and co. it will probably not work for you. So thank your stars that you are in a more civilized society, and embrace their way of doing things. ;d. Thanks for participating on the Nairaland Forum!

Right now I have 17 tabs open. 10 of them are on Nairaland. Being a moderator, I tend to open a lot of topics on action-unread in new tabs and then handle them one after the other. My Internet connection is slow so I have to open many pages in advance.

There was no beforelife, therefore there will be no afterlife. Simple!

I don't believe that there's any "wife material" in hollywood. "Wife material" (good girl) is more of her image and not necessarily her true personality. Afterall, birds of the same feather flock together and this woman is in the same group as beyonce! However, askmen.com seems to agree with you.

Attached are pictures of Kelly rowland, the "wife material". What makes her a wife material?

There was a time when malaria was seen as a curse inflicted upon hapless people by evil spirits. Now it's known to be transmitted by infected mosquitos.

There was a time when sicklers were seen as "ogbanjes". Evil spirits in human form who want to die young so they can return to their spiritual homes after tormenting their parents. Now we know it's genetically transmitted.

There was a time when advanced schizophrenia ("madness" was sysnonymous with demon possession. Now it's known to be a treatable disease that responds well to certain drugs. Do demons respond to drugs?

In the same way, as science grows to understand the brain better, sleep paralysis will be better understood than it is now. The brain is complicated; what you think you're experiencing may simply be a form of neurosis.

Since he says the phone has already been shipped, wait patiently for it to arrive. If it arrives on schedule, then pay the balance. If not, then count your losses and run, run, run from similar deals. The second scenario is far more likely.

In Nigeria, we produce crude oil, agricultural raw materials, arts and crafts (to a lesser extent). We do not manufacture phones; we import them from Asia which is where you live. Won't the cost of shipping nullify any potential gains? did they even remember to charge you for that?

These fake websites (phone shop, courier company0 are more beautiful than most legitimate ones. Nigerian scammers are getting more sophisticated. Whoever designed those websites from them deserves to be whipped.

I took a poll before splitting the forum. Slightly more than 50% of respondents were against the change, but I went ahead with it anyway as an experiment. The experiment failed, so i reversed the decision.
