The market has been quite interesting in the last one month, mostly bearish than bullish. The insurance sector which has been a darling of most investors is gradually becoming a terrain where one has to be careful and circumspect in treading.The table above shows how we performed based on the stock pick basket suggested earlier in February. No doubt individual performance will be based on what

I practically "sneaked" back to the office to write and make this post. I couldn't go another week without a post...I was sure to be on a guilt trip during the easter holidays...over one month since my last post...gosh! What was I doing? Well I have been busy of some sort with plenty of fun many times in-between. The highlight for me was winning a bronze medal in the team squash competition of

I'm yet to figure out how to load a table on my blog, and dont yet have a server you can access to download tables from. You can download the Jpeg image above (hopefully, the picture quality will be helpful). It presents a basket of stocks you can play with and some of my possible price scenarios. The last column shows the possible percentage price growth for our target period (we could do much

On friday, I instructed my broker to sell some units of my GTB, Presco, UTC, Livestock Feeds and First Aluminium. The entire proceeds from these sales would be used in purchasing AIICO. I called late friday afternoon, but couldn't get any detail on these transactions.I have to say, it's quite hard giving the order to reduce my GTB and Presco holdings. When we talk about fundamentals being right,

I have been targeting NEM insurance and Premier Paints for over two weeks now. Everytime my broker returns unsuccessful. It has been quite frustrating monitoring these stocks from the very first time I placed the orders and see the price rising and yet couldn't find any to purchase. Its a classic case of losing "phantom" money. Anyway, I gave up chasing on these stocks and made a new order

One of the things I chose to do this year is to try and stop using just my “head” and begin to use the ‘pen”. This made me write down increased activity on the stock market as one of my objective for this year. I don’t intend to be sentimentally attached to any stock this year (I actually wrote it down…and also I need a wallet too…). Well, not to say I have been docile before now, but I was

How time flies! Its been over three months I last made a post. so much has happenend to me in this period. I have read some life changing books, dug deep into myself preparing and writing essays and in-between, had a wonderful holiday period. I know its stale and much belated, but all the same...happy new year!I truly need to apologise to everyone who visited this site in the past months and met

The lesson from today's post must not be missed by anyone who reads this!A very good friend of mine had a discussion with me today and his concern centered on what to do with the shares of Transcorp Plc he bought over a year ago. He is currently reappraising his performance on the stock market (I suppose he is been playing for the past2-3 years now) and and plans to jiggle a bit with his medium

I will take another time off investment talk today and a bare a little thought for our consideration.It was a huge (though simple for most people) decision I had to take if I was to travel to Ghana by air or road. Two natures I have dominant in me were truly at contest. I hate unnecessary stress, and road travel through two different West-African countries onward was a guaranteed bet to provide

It seems to be another mild season of raising additional investment capital out there now. With Fidelity Bank, Japaul Maritime, International Breweries Ilesa(IBI) engaging prospective investors with their public offers. Dangote Flour IPO just closed about this week, I hope you got yours, if not you can still parley your broker to slot you in as compilation is being done at the moment. They have

I found my self shopping for personal items today, nothing much, just a little attempt to indulge myself. While this was going on, it then occurred to me its been over a year ago I actually went out into the "Lagos wild" shopping – for myself! The last time I did was before my last shopping which took place in Europe early 2006.I am not someone who particularly enjoys going to the market, to be

I have a proposition for you today, and I sincerely hope you take it serious and take advantage of it. Remember those days when it's safe for you to keep away from your Nigerian banker friends? Yes, because the moment they know you have a job, they'll come after you asking for deposits, asking you to open all kinds of accounts, and you wonder how much you are earning that 3-4 banks are solicting

I have never hidden my admiration for the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Professor Charles Soludo. From his banking consolidation announcement in 2004 to the recent announcement on the "re-denomination" of the nation's currency, he has proved to be a man who understands the tough choices and decisions that running an economy requires; Soludo has proved again and again a man who

I have spent the last few hours painfully going through summary indices of stocks. In a matter of days, I’ll have to place an order with the broker.The fundamentals I have gone through have left me with very little conclusion to draw, so I’m torn between beefing up some of my holdings in two different stocks: one in the banking sector (GTBank) and the other in the insurance sector (Cornerstone

That the Nigerian Capital market has been bullish over the past few years has not been in doubt, even the most sardonic of global institutions and observers have attested to the paranormal performance and wealth created on our nation's capital market.The question that has kept recurring has been for how long will this continue? Is it sustainable? Are the good times really here? Have I missed out?

Is investing just about making money and securing a good/bright future? What should drive me when I invest? What really should be permanently etched on my mind? I believe these are some of the key questions anyone who intends to make success of investing (of any kind) needs to ask and deliberately find answers to. Whatever answers we find (and I hope we find the right answers!) should shape the

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

My resolve has never been tested as much as it happened this night. It's unbelievable what happened to me. The very tool expected to give me expression of the thing I hold very dear, became an alibi to introduce some desperation to my feelings...you wonder what this ranting is all about?I have spent the last 2 hours putting together a masterpiece introduction to this blog which I have been
