Please I need help ooh, how to invest
Investment and speculation are said to be two different things, and careful people are advised to do one and avoid the other. This is a bit like explaining to a confused teenager that love and passion are two different things. He can see they're different, but they don't seem different enough to actually solve his problems.
Please what's happening to conoil?
I think for first bank ,the uprise was of the stock price was solely because of one person (otedola) pumping money in to the bank in form of getting shares in billions, That act alone can and will influence the stock price … Although this is but one significant factor that have affected the uprise in the stock rices
Nice ❤

When can i buy stock
Dr Idika Ajah was interrupted when he was about to talk about Zichis in agricultural sector. Pls, i really want to hear his thought on it
While I appreciate your in-depth analysis, I wonder why you kept saying coys like Aradel and Seplat whose price has not moved in the past 2-3 months are doing well.
Although, their quarterly fundamentals and macros are okay for entry, what good is that for retail investors if the price remains at that same spot.
Hi from New Jersey. I stopped listening to random predictions and started focusing on financial education, managing risk, and sticking to one strategy that works for me. Today I officially hit my new year goal of $320k. Just a reminder that it's not about where you start, it's about trusting the process and staying consistent.
Great conversation
