What is investing? My core.

Investing is all about buying a flow of earnings at an acceptable price.

The pace of earnings growth is a second-order issue.

Risk is the possible loss of long-term purchasing power.

Volatility of price is not risk.  It is the ally of the long-term investor.

The market is NOT ALWAYS efficient.  In general it is efficient, but NOT ALWAYS, and this small difference is crucial, enabling us to capitalise on it.

Investing as opposed to Gambling

Some aspects of investing can be very similar to gambling.

  • Not knowing what you are doing.
  • Not understanding what you own.
  • Trading in and out of the market.
  • Following the advice of interested parties.
  • Being in a hurry to get rich.
  • Relying on luck rather than skill.


Investing and wealth building is different.

  • It is both an art and a science and can be emulated.

Stock investment can be lucrative, where your earned income earns more money as you continue your normal day to day office work.


Investing In The Nigerian Stock Exchange


Stock investment is a very lucrative investment, it is an investment alternative that brings you a good return and less risk compared to foreign exchange market (Forex), where you make so much but, stand a great chance of losing your entire funds within seconds.

Before going into stock investment, there is a need to know the basic terms and terminologies involved with stock trading. Although very lucrative also comes with its risk, but this risk can be minimized by you depending on how knowledgeable you are in stock investment. You can as well invest into stocks without a prior knowledge of what it takes to invest. This can easily be done with the aid of your stockbroker. In order for you to succeed with your stock investment your choice of broker matters a lot.


The Nigerian capital market has been rated as one of the most profitable exchange in the world, giving investors the opportunity to reap a bountiful return on their investment. It is only here in Nigeria, You see stocks giving investors up to 1000% return on investment within a very short period of time.

The Nigerian capital market is one of the fastest growing stock-exchange in the world. It is full of untapped opportunities awaiting potential investors like you. It has over 300 listed equities including the banking sub-sector, insurance, conglomerate, automobile, food and beverages sub-sectors to name but a few.

The banking sub-sector is the most capitalized sector in the Nigerian capital market, it accounts for over 60% of the total market capitalization. With its strong fundamentals, investors are rest assured with a high return on investment..

The Nigerian capital market is a place to invest your money and watch it accumulate over a short period of time. Here in Nigeria movement in stock price does not exceed a maximum of 5% for both upward and downward movement. What does that tell you? It means you can never lose your money investing in Nigeria stock exchange

Many stock-broking firms out here are well capitalized to manage your fund and ensure you make it great out here. As to what sector to invest in the Nigerian stock exchange I will personally recommend the banking, insurance petroleum sub-sector for you. This sector brought me the fame I have through stocks.

Banking stocks are very good to speculate because; activities in this sub-sector are very high. Some of the basic terms you need to know before investing in any stock are, the earnings per share (EPS), the price earnings ratio (PE), the bonus and dividend history of that stock, the future prospect of that stock. When all these are at your disposal, making a very good investment decision could be possible.

The earnings per share of a company is a very investment tool to consider, as this tells you the performance of the company you intend to invest your money, the price earnings ratio shows you the profitability of the company. You easily determine whether a particular stock is overpriced or underpriced with these two terms (EPS &PE ratio) I have detailed how to calculate whether a particular stock is overpriced or underpriced in my website, you can copy the page from my resource box to your browser for further tutorial on this.

In summary stock investment is a very lucrative investment that can change your financial status without stress, it is an avenue for you to increase your earnings by subjecting your earned income to earning you more income as you continue your normal day to day office work.

Try Nigeria today and you will not regret reading this article.

Comment:  The above introductory letter to potential investors is either the start of something good or the beginning of something painful.  There are so many things to know about stock investing.  Without the knowledge, it is better to stay away from the stock market.  However, with the right financial education, this is a very good and safe place to invest for the long term; very rewarding too, even in the depth of the bear market.
