Welcome to Investing

Now to the business of the day!

I'm so glad I finally connected my heart and hands to start posting on this blog. I've wanted to do this for a very long time; many times I've constructed in my head situations that would have been of immense benefit to all who will click on this blog, and as frequent as those times, brutally deconstructed the execution from same head.

This blog is largely going to be about investing: stock investments. No theory! Simple plain practical playing the Nigerian capital market; this will be our starting point, later into the future we will take a pitching point into the rest of Africa.

My approach on this blog will be simple. I wont complicate what is not...and what others try to make cumbersome , I promise to use plain laity language. I wont claim expertise where I don't have, and you will also find out I wont portray ignorance. I promise you no quick abracadabra, but indeed mind blowing consistency in wealth creating opportunities. It's going to be decent work, hard work, but as results unfold, you'll find out its also fun work!

I intend to listen to you, hear your opinions, and gossips(financial gossips!) if you have any. In return I won't hold back from you. In most cases, I will be putting out my neck on some bets and pickings, I'll make available some tools I use for playing in this market, some crude...and some, just plain genius - none of which I'll claim right to. I will let you know whenever I buy a stock, why I'm buying the stock, and I will advice you do the same. If I sell, I'll also let you know, basically, you will be privy to the way the game is played in my mind. we will experience some interesting time together as you will discover, the market "always" play to your advantage. we will see what others don't see and reap from what we've sown( I love miracles, but don't believe in magic!). We will make investment decisions together and we'll track over time measuring our expectations against actual performance.

I realise I have a gift...I know what is good on the stock market, I've given opinions and practical investment advice to friends and colleagues before now. Consistently, we beat the market. Some based on hard core data and analysis of fundamentals of companies...and some, just based on simple plain logic and common sense. And in some occasion, guts...a great God and a good heart gives performing guts! You will find out as we progress, we wont lack any of this!

Before we delve into the business of playing in the stock market and staking a future in it, on my next post, I'll share with us my investment philosophy...from that point we will understand the basis for the numerous investment decisions we will be taking.

I'm looking forward to this, and loving every thought of it!

I welcome you to my journey...ooops...I meant "our" journey.
