WHAT WILL THE MARKET DO TODAY!!!
I like a trending market. It make life very easy and sometimes looks like one is using a "drone" to monitor the market. Just like US saw Fulani Heardsmen moving around Ogun/Oyo state about 3 months ago, but Nigeria is seeing them now or pur Government is not even seeing the Heardsmen (sounds funny).

We expect the market to continue bearish today and in the next few days!!!

However, the retail traders will continue buying some few growth stocks.

Market is disappointing lately. May be a good time to slow down. Big money seems not too active in buying.

What will the market do today. We expect a negative day again. But a sudden rise in a big cap stock may show a seemingly sudden improvement in the market, we can ignore this until index is above the 249,000 level.

THI IS AN INTERESTING TIME FOR TRADING US STOCKS!!
There is no market that can be better to be at a time like this. Ai and semiconductors are making a big difference.

WHAT WILL DO TODAY TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS MARKET COMMENT
**All Share Index is expected to close between +0.14% and +0.26 % on Monday 1 June 2026. **

Based on market data, the likely market direction for the next trading session is sideways-to-mildly bullish.

TODAY IS A SWELL TIME IN THE MARKET!!!
BIG gains everywhere. Let us see if the IRAN/US peace deal will stay this time around!!!

WHAT WILL THE US MARKET DO TODAY!!

TODAY IS EXPECTED TO BE A RISK ON DAY
Easy money available in the Semiconductors/Aerospace industries.

There are few people here as understanding the Global stocks takes time and for someone to assist you, you need to have some basic knowledge, like ability to read simple "candlestick charts". Fundamentals too are good if you know them, but a combination of the 2 will be good.

Wishing all a swell time in this market

LONGEVITY IN THIS MARKET IS KEY!!!
I have only pity for the people who have been trading glibal stocks previously but are now out of the market.

Now there is a biotech section of the market that you can invest in and just like puck free money from the market. Funny indeed, I bought one today, the stock had gained over 30%, I bought and I am still up for the day close to 20%. But note that, I am not interested in becoming an investor in biotech stocks. I will be out any moment from now.

Also, for the stock above, as long as the world cup is taking place, there should be more free money for the buyers

Okay see one of our gains below, not from a demo account and shares bought not up to 6 months

So tell me, with gains like this available in the global market, this forum will always be alive!!!! But, we want to keep our secret secret, no big crowd is needed.

The market may continue to consolidate. We may see some sporadic movements at month ends and beginning of the month as pension flows enter the market.

The FPIs are key to price movements. They assisted the market in the early part of the bullish move we are experiencing. Now they are not very active we are seeing consolidation!!!

Let us see how far the locals will push the market!!!

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS RANDOM THOUGHT!!!
It seems we have been sleeping on money? Did I saw news about EBOLA or vius.

Look like time for us to come out with our Biotech hunting gun. Who will bell zhe cat?

If for any reason I buy a low priced <$20, my exit period is going to be 3 days only.

For now I am pro Semiconductors and if you add AI, then you have a very big field to deal with. With AI stocks, I feel I need very little oil, Metals or other materials related equities in my portfolio

I just remember this will be a good time for Biotechs when I sam ZOOM made some move this morning!!!

Wishing all good luck.

Recently Market has been volatile, starts strong in the morning and cools off later in the day. Let us see how today will behave.

Something is telling us that some big players that can move most stocks are absent in the present market. More short time players seems more predominant.

TODAY WILL BE A GOOD DAY!!!
Markets are looking optimistic in many Countries. Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, South Korea etc.

Nigeria has DANGOTE REFINERY. US has SPACE X.

I am happy playing in the Global market and using one of the vest trading platforms that have "All stocks" compared with other local platforms that does not have some important stocks pike RVI (Robinhood Ventures).

WHAT WILL THE MARKET DO TODAY!!!
We expect the big caps to show better performance today.

Today is a day to empty some; of the tanks in preparations for fresh deliveries.

Some semiconductor stocks in our portfolio just need to be sold with thee hope that we will buy back at lower peices from later this week.

The market needs more buyers to chase the bears away.

TODAY WILL BE A CHALLENGING DAY AS IRAN/US MATTER TAKES CENTRAL STAGE!!!

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS MARKET COMMENT
Profit taking is going on in the market!!!

Who will bell the cat and mop up stocks where excess supply is showing up

WITHDRAWALS FROM VEST IS LIKE BREAD AND BUTTER SO SMOOTH AND EASY
I do no bother my head about any inefficient local platform again. Vest Platform makes life so eazy. All the stocks are available, unlike our local platforms that have so many sticks missing.

Recently I gave the example of CRCO not on HISA (this is our formerly dumb Stockbroker, people who took over a good platform and mess it up, they are trying to turn a new leave) or Trove. As at now I have 2 stocks that we all need and we would buy, but ALAS!!! they cannot be found on Chaka or Trove (one of the is Robinhood Ventures I, RVI) and this is a stock that I have bought more than once at VEST. I wanted to buy a stock not on Hisa today, I send a message for them to add the stock. But you know it may take them some time, I was forced to buy another stock as I was not interested in taking my cash, I could have withdrawn money.

Then on withdrawal, you may be wandering where did I get money to withdraw!!! The Semiconductor industry has become like an ATM machine, so profiting from zhe sector is no big deal if you are following the right person. > 20% gain in 30 days looks normal in some of the stocks.

Wishing all the best.

[quote author=Ugmama post=139376214]Good day brothers,
From my past experience, you have opened account with a good broker, but they will charge you commission.

Due to the depth if knowledge required to trade Global stocks, it may be difficult for you to see anyone that will be wiling to sirt of mentir you free (is like a waste of that Person's time).

My candid advice is that you go and invest in Nigeria stocks. After getting some experience in Nigeria stocks you can then come back fir Global stocks.

I can bet it that you may not be able to do anything with that your trade 212 account. The first hurdle is likely to be in depositing money into the account. So if the first hurdle is a problem, while will someone want to teach you, you don't need the knowledge. So please go and trade NIGERIA STOCKS. Nigeria market is booming as at this May 2026.

SOME INFORMATION ON CONDITIONS FOR ENTITLEMENT TO FREE COMMISSION ON VEST
Below is my score for this month, ZERO commission.

What I see is that VEST has made the conditions so easy. This by making nearly trader to enrol in their "FSPL". For this FSPL it is like a arm twisting. I remember I disable it once, but somehow after so many messages, I was enrolled for it. **Please not that it is a Nigeria Broker, I will never ever enroll fir "FSLP" as the Managers of the local platforms are not likely to be Professionals that can handle these type of business very well.

So back to the hurdle of what to do to qualify for zero commission is FSLP has given you 50 points. Then you will need to deposit $20 for the month, or you simply sell stocks worth $20 for the month, then used the proceed to buy another stock. Simple and easy.

With Oil, Dangote Refinery, Recent improvement in Reserve, Government Investment promotion activities doing indirect adverts for the Nigeria Market we may not be wrong if we expect a big bullish market this year!!!

Wishing all the best.

DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE MARKET WILL BE A CHALLENGING ONE 3 TOP SECTORS CONTINUE TO HOLD THEIR GROUNDS

Today I may favour staying on the sidelines, due to the pending CPI data tommorrow.

I will be a willing buyer after the CPI data.

The above decision looks okay looking at the current imparse on Homutz

**All Share Index is expected to close between +1.49% and +2.13% on Monday 11 May 2026. **

There is paucity of news on the Nigeria market, IRAN/US strait of Hormuz continues to drive all markets. The Nigeria market is in automatic bullish gear.

**MARKET PERFORMANCE AS OF 8 MAY 2026 **
MARKET RECAP: DAY-OVER-DAY COMPARISON (MAY 8 VS. MAY 7, 2026)
​METRIC MAY 8 MAY 7 % CHNG

LIQUIDITY ANALYSIS/OTHERS (MAY 8, 2026)
​The 2.10% appreciation in the All Share Index was driven primarily by heavy-weight gains in the Industrial and Consumer Goods sectors.
​Market Breadth improved significantly from the previous session, closing positive with 38 gainers against 34 losers, indicating a broadening of the rally beyond just blue-chip tickers.
​The 14.14% surge in Value Traded suggests institutional "high-conviction" buying rather than retail speculation.
​Year-to-Date (YTD) return now stands at a robust 56.71%,

**​TECHNICAL AND SECTORAL VIEW**
​The All Share Index (ASI) is trading well above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, signaling a strong long-term bull regime. The sector rotation analysis places the Industrial and Oil/Gas sectors in the Leading Quadrant, while Banking is moving from the Improving to the Leading quadrant.

**​LIKELY MARKET DIRECTION: BULLISH BIAS**
​The short-term bias is Bullish. The combination of high volume and a 2.1% daily gain in the ASI suggests a strong momentum carry-over into the new week. Support is firmly established at 238,500 points, with the next major resistance level anticipated at 250,000.

What will the market do today?

With banking sector currently in bearish zone. It will be a miracle for this week not to end in RED!!!

ZikkyChops:
But my experience with vest is not good, deducting my money every 10-15days saying I don't meet TASK. I have to withdraw the remaining balance before they finish my money.

Please you have to take my comment in good faith.

For platforms that offer Zero commission, the Customer need to be able to give them some level of minimal transaction at least to compensate them that we are not paying commission. Such brokers rely on spreads. Even the ones that charges commission also have spreads.

Also, I will say whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. With Vest you need to generate a minimum of $40 dollars worth of transaction monthly. The minimum threshold required for Zero commission look okay gor someone that want to trade global stocks.

This is why I will advice anyone that want to trade Glibal stocks with less than NGN150k, pkease go and trade Nigeria stocks. At the moment Nigeria's market is booming and making money on Nigeria is easier (if you need my assistance, please DM me)

Also, you can email them to know the minimum transaction that will give you zero commission, it is between $20 and $30 for a month.

If you trade constantly you need a broker like Vest, there are few other alternatives that will allow you to start with zhe equivalent of NGN150k and have zero commission.

Good that you are no more with Vest. You can find another platform that is zero commission base and can allow your account to have little transactions. If you a good one please tell this forum.

For me as at now, Vest Investments is the best Platform. For example there was an ETF I wanted zo buy yesterday, CRCO. It was not on Chaka/Trove platform (I am not interested in telling local platforms to add any stock, not on their platform again, this is 2026 not 2021). I bought the ETF on "Vest" without sweat. Just for my money in Chaka not to be idle, I emailed Chaka and they added it and I bought on Chaka too. You can see that I have account with many platforms.

However, no local platforms can match Vest. Also, if you try other platforms like the forex platforms, the number of stocks available are so limited that those other platforms are close to useless for trading global stocks.Vest should have close to the total number of active stocks tradeable (>8,000 Eight thousand)

Thanks. Wishing all the best of luck.

THIS SIDE OF THE MARKET IS LOOKING SWEET 🎂 TODAY
There is benefit in longevity. Anybody with US stocks will see a big jump in their portfolios today!!!

The move started yesterday.

All things being equal, we may see final de-escalation of the IRAN/US war!!!

No more war. Oil should come down to lower prices. By next week,we should see the change on the condition that IRAN do not come up with a crazy attitude!!!

MARKET IS VOLATILE THESE DAYS
But the market is one way, SEMICONDUCTORS, DATA CENTRES/POWER, ENERGY , then to a lesser extent METALS.

But for zhe past 2 days, the Bitcoin stocks are coming up strong, so another "Suegbe Play loading again". So, if you are trading US stocks and you have no Bitcoin stock in your portfolio or plan to buy some, you are not fit for the market. So, for medium term play. BITCOIN STOCKS are shouting " BUY, BUY, BUY

Wishing everyone the best

**NIGERIA STOCK REPORT 5 MAY 2026 CORE REPORT**
**Market Outlook**
ALL Share index to close between between +0.33% and +0.48%

LIKELY MARKET DIRECTION ASI:
Bullish bias short-term with oil support and earnings. Catalysts: Corporate results, oil prices. Risks: FX volatility, global geopolitics. Selective longs preferred.

EARNINGS PROVIDING SOME RELIEF FROM THE CRAZY WAR
Somehow the market have tried to stay afloat despite the unwillingness of IRAN to be reasonable in the 'conditions" for peace!!!

Okay, it is Hajj time. I think US may have the upper hand if they want to play the type of game IRAN is playing!!! Reason for this is that if Us bomb IRAN, I will not be too surprised if IRAN will not bomb the Saudi Pilgrimage grounds!!!

So let is see if the haji season will go without one of the warring parties capitalising on this!!!

I regret not following the fundamentals when this forum stated. It is a big pain for me seeing PLTR tht was $18 now > $150, the likes of AEHR was $12 now $70. Now. i stock more to fundamentals and seldom touch "Biotech" stocks again. Where are our "Biotech Guys", did the "failed the trading market approval rating", wish them zhe best, hope they get some money to fund their accounts and come back to this forum!!!
