YOU NEED EXPERIENCE IN THIS MARKET- KNOWING WHAT SOME STOCKS CAN DO IS VITAL
After some years in this market, I have now accepted the fact that I will avoid stocks that are in overbought zone no matter the attraction.

Another area of confusion. Is the need to hold a stocks for ever probably for dividend? This one is a big problem, all stocks should be bought for purpose of selling at an higher price (see as some dividend stocks will fall heavily and you are looking, this lead to another problem of buying stock with an amount lower than $60, the commission 0.5 or $1 make selling stocks bought with less than $60 look unreasonable as the commission. Will eat into the coast to about 10% in some cases) . These are problem areas for which on individual basis we should continue to find a way to sort out?

Wishing all happy weekend and we should trade making protection of our capital number one priority, so that we can still be in the market for long. If you are able to endure, profit will come.

DAY OF THE BLACK SWAN IN THE MARKET TODAY
FED dropped a Bomb and the market scattered, NASDAQ suffered one of the biggest loss today, no sector is spared.

For those that exvaped tge bullet today, better to cash out as by Monday we will know that the Proverb that says "thunder does not strike in the same spot" is true.

Do you still want to trade this market without any guidance or relying on YouTube videos, okay, you account will tell you the result.

We are on our trading table monitoring the Chinese stocks and BBBY

TODAY IS THE DAY OF THE BLACK SWAN IN THE MARKET
FED Chairman dropped a bomb in the market. Led to a day of a big loss in the market.

For those that escape the bullet today? Better cash out, as by Monday we may know that the Proverb that says "thunder does not strike in the same place twice is true".

THE BULLS WANT TO SHOW US THEIR STRENGHT TODAY- THEY DON'T WANT TO MIND WHAT POWEL HAS FOR TOMMORROW
All the big names have their names showing up as pre market gainers!!! Is the bull back, not yet, just want to test their strength to show us they are still alive

No story today. the market bulls will tell us the story. Our picks for today ARKG.

Our screeners are beign updated everyday, therefore expect better performance from our picks. We will continue to give our free picks so visit here and our twitter page and make some money from our picks. if we give 1 out of about 10 picks to the public we still have 10, the full list is usefull just in Case as we are about to place the order we perceive something bearish (we want to start making money from day 1 of trade as much as possible) on one of the picks the we go for another one.

Happy trading to all.

20 JUNE IS HOLIDAY- NO TRADING IN US MARKET
Our comments are still valid they are applicable to 21 JUNE 2021.
Blockchain and futures sto traded today and offer insight as to what we should expect tommorrow?

ANOTHER CHINA DAY AND LIKELY RECOVERY DAY
Premarket is telling us that this is a likely recovery day with VIX down and dollar lindex slightly down too. Oil stocks made attempt to recover immediately after market on Friday, but seems may likely start the week Ina bearish mode. However, there is no doubt that peoe want to buy the deep. The risk with oil is that US legislators are planning a coup to weaken the I fluence of speculators or big funds who are mostly responsible for creating high price in a situation like the Ukraine Russia war crises (we would see as this unfolds) . The expected US legislation may not have immediate effect but in the medium term, it will likely have effect of bring oil/gas prices down, so you see why we need to sell/ buy from time to time.

ZIM is our stock pick for today.

Wishing all happy trading week.

WHERE SI OAKPEAL- COME AND SEE VERU PERFORMING WONDER
Hi Oakpeal,

Please we need more picks like VERU, we have now calebrated our indicators to catch a VERU early. But what prevented me fro buying VERU is the fact that we have a number of biotech stocks in our portfolio, seems these biotechs (GRTS, VBIV etc) are coming up again. Definitely this was a fantastick pick.

Wishing everybody another Green day. There seems to be some confusion among the FED, while some are saying hike rates heavily, others are saying no. Thus today, the market seems to have advised itself and decided to move UP, looking at the short term.

I LOVE THE QUALITY OF TODAY'S LIKELY GAINERS
Although bulls are not yet back, but the quality of today's likely gainers will exite most traders: TSLA, MSFT, BHP, BP, BABA, JD etc.

So let us enjoy this bullish day. But we need to get a good signal service that will tell us what the market will likely do even before the open. We are trading against professionals, so we need to have like a coach which is part of what a signal service does.

Wishing everybody, happy trading day.

IS TODAY A GOOD OR BAD DAY
On my side, not a bad day. And I know depending on our portfolio, it can be a good or bad day. For those in VERU, the stock still looks okay, made a gain of about 9% today before retracing back.

Overall I will rate as a fairly good day. Tommorow will be another testing period for the market with 4 Fed representatives speaking 8.00, 9.15, 14.00 and 18.45 EST. Nothing new is expected, it is all about inflation and rates. Also, we should be happy that 2 of them will speak before market opens. so market will react fast enough for us to know what big money will do, 60 minutes after the speach is okay to detect the unbiased thought of the market on any announcement.

For whoever is interested, our daily stock picks on the local market, it is now available (you see a post of what we have bought/recommended to our paying subscribers some 3 days in the past): https://mobile.twitter.com/kelanio2002. For example, one of the stocks we would be buying tommorrow has already been released this afternoon. The local market has been fair, offers some diversification from the Global stocks.

Happy investing to all.

LET US KEEP THE FORUM BUBBLING AGAIN
Please let us keep posting our ideas.

You as an individual posting your idea will serve as a reminder to what we have to follow up. For example the VERU question yesterday made me to check VERU which I have been trying to follow up. I comment that person.

Unfortunately as I was busy with other scans I missed HYMC (available in passfolio, gained 32% pre market, this is a Gold mining company which has been bought buy the popular AMC, the theater company, no problem other opportunities will show up).

Below are some pre market movers as at this morning)

BEST wishes to all

MARKET AT STANDSTILL PRIOR TO FOMC REPORT
Did anyone observed that the oil stocks started moving up just about the time FOMC report was about to be made public? This is telling us that the big money already have an idea that the FOMC report will likely favour the commodities, but they still wait and not front run the report, this is an important lesson we have to learn to wait (it is retail traders that would be playing the earnings release game, normal rule of investment is don't trade Close to or on earnings date).

However, as we are not big money, we need to wait for the market to digest the report. This may take the next one hour!!!

Multiplier7:
Can someone use his or her dollar account to deposit or withdraw from any of the investment platforms?

It is possible,

but you need to still confirm at support (

I have been using Naira). The best app that is easy to register on is PASSFOLIO. This is the link to the app. Passfolio is the best as you pay no commission and the Trading plaform display correct prices that will enable you manage your P&L without too much worry (some APPs don't display correct prices until you click the ticker symbol, this is a serious matter) . One of the problems with the commission paying APPs is that regular trading leads to accumulated commission eating off your Fund little by little.

3 MAY 2022_ BOUGHT SWN & RRC
Market not bad. We bought the above.

Let us see how thing will play out in the next 2 days. Bought stocks were bought as a result of being in the best performing sector for the day, plus the fact that they are involved in Natural Gas

The good thing about the indicators used is that we don't need to think much, our software does the selection/thinking, the only thing we have to do is to check some basic fundamentals that the risk in those stocks are minimal.

IF YOU ARE A NEWBIE- JUST READ WHAT THE REGULAR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN POSTING OR GO AND LEARN ABOUT TRADING INDICATORS ON YOUTUBE

The above is the initial advice I can give. You just need to have some idea. Because if we give you a trading idea, you may not know when to buy or which of the ideas are good.

Whatever is your experience, you can come back to tell us.

Wishing you good luck.

Also you can visit our Twitter page on daily basis to see some ideas, but you need to know when to sell, even if you have a buy signal.

CHINESE STOCKS ARE BACK TODAY- ENERGY MATERIALD BACK TOO

Our stock for today is MRO (Marathon Oil).

If you see big gains in Chinese stocks today, don't worry; it is expected.

See some premarket figures below top domibated by Chinese stocks!!!

That is good. You can email support at passfolio.com for the accounts details or send me a DM/ whatsapp message and I will forward the account details to you. For some reason we have to be discreet with some details for a reason.

TRADING/INVESTING IS NOT AN EASY GAME- BUT WE MUST MOVE ON
Again, just like the Nigeria side, Global stocks for leading sectors of Energy and basic materials opened on a fearful note without any justification. But good thing is that respected the reality on ground and started becoming postive later.

We need to be careful, by ensuring some diversification in this market. Also, to think we can play the market without any trading or subscription to a good service is like a joke. It is like being penny wise pound foolish. Also after subscribing to the services, we need to have a system too to use the signal ideas correctly.

I just look at what we go through and still yet, we are still doing our best to improve. Like we trade only stocks in the best sectors using the weekly permance table, look at some fundamentals (this is how we believe a stock like PAA is likely to beat earnings (PAA has no problem, most oil stocks that miss analysts expectations were never purnised. Save for losing some points for those that trade the news, the stocks recovered the following day or 2 example was Halliburton or BKR, I cannot remember the name specifically).

Wishing all the best.

LIKELY GAINERS/SOME PREMARKET FIGURES FOR 28 APRIL


Facebook, BTU etc are among stocks that have booked some gains premarket.

Let us see how far the market can make some recovery!!!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IMF REPORT SAID
Whatever IMF must have said seems not to be favorable for this market?

Time to escape with some available profits and wait on the sideline.

It is essential we know when to sell and stay out of the market.

WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR MSCI AS A MIRROR FOR WHAT THE FOREIGN PORTFOLIO INVESTORS ARE DOING
For now, as at Thursday this week, nothing yet. But some movement may happen soon, we continue to follow up.

As usual the gist goes to our members 1st. For now, market is not too bad, but most trading is concentrated on few stocks.

Wishing everybody the best.

TROVE SEEMS TO BE CARRYING OUT SOME MODIFICATION/REPAR ON THEIR PLATFORM
The platform for some few days continue to display figures that are different from the market price when you are just viewing your total portfolio, until you click the particular stock the correct figure will not be displayed.

I think it is better for Trove/Chaka to get the type of software that Passfolio is using? Just the same way most Nigerian Stockbrokers are using similar platform, like Morgan and United Capital have similar software.

It is bad that the platform did not even bother to inform the Customers? This people need to take this business more serious, the business has potentials for the future!!!

MARKET NOT LOOKING INTERESTING TODAY
Today is a day to relax and just watch our postions. If we are in any oil/Gold stock, our worries should be minimal. Around 4pm WAT, IMF person will be speaking, let us see how the market will react thereafter.

Despite the apprehension in the market, Chinese stocks looks stable (but as usual, very risky plays).

Nothing to buy today, we go back to the drawing board..

WHAT ARE WE BUYING OVER THE WEEKEND
Having a trading system is good. We looked at the Marijuana stocks yesterday at our entry period, unfortunately we did not buy as most were in overbought zone. reviewing the Senate approval in the coming week that is expected, we want to wait for next 2 weeks before looking at this industry again, there is likely to be a gap up against early next week, what may happen thereafter is unknown (may start falling again), buying now is like playing the news which can be dangerous.

Today we bought SKLUSD, already our in/out commission is covered.

MARKET IS TOUGH- SOLD SOLANA
Will continue watching the market over the weekend. Will likely make a move for Monday.

How I wish I had a system like what we are using now, a long time ago. No problem we continue. Shipping stocks are coming up, we will follow up.

Happy weekend to all. This time has been a busy time for us. We are just focus on this global stocks, as there is money here, especially if we catch the trend early. If we are in MLPs, we should hold, they should be moving with the US promise to sell more Gas to Europe?

OUR STOCK IDEAS FOR 28 FEB 2022- NSE
Our scan picked up these stocks: BUA, CONOIL, GLAXO, NB (neutral) as those that are in buying zone

You can get daily ideas like this everyday. Look our for details soon.

LIVE MARKET COMMENT 25 FEB 2022
The war effect on the market is reducing. If over the weekend Ukraine agrees to dialog with Russia, then the negative effect of the conflict on the market will reduce substantially.

The way the bears stoped suddenly is telling us that following the news to trade may not be profitable. Copper stocks contributed to the bullish move today

Not a bad day today.

Happy weekend to all. Looking forward to the market opening on Monday. No negative surprise is expected. It is looking more like Ukraine is likely to surrender and allow Russia to change the Government!!!

NIGERIA ELECTRICITY SYSTEM NEEDS TOTAL REORGANIZATION NEPA NEED TO GIVE UP SOME AREAS TO ANOTHER SERVICE PROVIDER
If your area is affected by adverse electricity supply at the moment, like your light is off for 2/3days continuously in a week, better know that your street/area may have been tagged by NEPA as an inconsequential area (debtors zone) and your light situation may never improve. One of the characteristics of such area is that only few houses have prepaid meter, even if you ask for it NEPA may not give you. NEPA is indirectly saying that they are not interested in doing business with that area. Thus the earlier the Government allow consumers/communities who can afford it to get another service provider in such an area the better. At least it will be better than running generator for 24hrs or for small business to continue to close down.

NEPA's excuse is that those areas do not pay bills, many if them are owing. But NEPA has the option to disconnect people who have not paid, but no they do not want to disconnect since they can always send bills every month whether there is light or not (NEPA gives no disconnection notice again, if your light is disconnected, monthly billing will continue except you write a letter to your area NEPA office for billing to stop).

If you are a tenant in such an area, waiting for Electricity supply to improve may just be a dream, you need to seek alternative accommodation in an area with better electricity supply.

This matter is very painful, but it is a fact that NEPA is not interested in serving everybody. Government need to allow others to generate their own electricity if possible and NEPA should formerly tell the Government that they cannot serve the whole Country, that another Electricity supplier is needed.

The situation has got to a stage that is nearly irredeemable for such area, all due to corruption as one of the root cause. NEPA want to continue collecting money for electricity not supplied. And NEPA will bring their own argument of people using the light without paying (but they can be disconnected) , why suffer a whole area because of some people that are not paying bills, at least you have the option to disconnect their light/cut and take the cable away as usual. Now this curruption is about to destroy our whole electrical distribution system .

Something has to be down before the situation creates a social revolt

US STOCK PICKS 25 FEB
Seems market have discounted the sanctions and bears are back, except we start seeing the negative effect of the sanction on Russia's economy.

We want to watch the market till Monday, but will play on the bearish side with inverse ETFs/Energy stocks.

Over 500 followers on twitter are not following for fun, they believe we have the stuff. https://twitter.com/AnalysisTarget

A FANTASTIC DAY -MARKET CLOSING COMMENT 24 FEB 2022

No cause to complain about the market today. The bull showed up unexpectedly on the back of more sanctions against Russia plus favorable unemployment figures for the US.

We want to see if there will be follow through on today's postive movement. However, we should still be mindful of where we put our money, go for good quality stocks only

MARKET UPDATE 24 FEB 2022
What is happening in the market is telling us that we are playing this game against professionals. In oil stocks there was profit taking in many popular stocks, whether this is to scare away the retail traders? I don't know.

Equally most of the stocks for shorting (inverse ETF), were in overbought zone.

Finally from our shortlist we settled for a commodity ETF CORN. Average buying price 25.16

For this week, we are okay with buying. We may likely join the selling gang.

Happy investing to all. There is money on this market, if we can figure it out, we will make money for life.

THIS GOVERNMENT WILL RANK AS THE WORST GOVERNMENT EVER- ELECTRICITY WISE
This Government does not seems to care even if Nigerians are dying. The state of electricity supplies in many area is too bad. In Oshodi (Lagos State) , NEPA issue seems to be more than equipment, the competence of the Personnel or Engineers at key postions is now in doubt, plus corruption! GOVERNMENT need to start allowing other organisations not Goverent owned to start producing and selling power to the public.
