Say something about the result.

Yes, cheaper is an understatement! . I use both morgan capital and meritrade but can confidently say morgan has greatly improved and impresses me more.

Unlce Peter we need EXPO o

Expo for closed period?
The way the stock is trading should give a clearer direction.

If there is strong support at #9,the expo is revealed.closing below #9........hmm

Nothing to say but remain hopeful just like every other investor holding the shares in their portfolio. Though i am upbeat about the result based on Q3 performance but indifferent about how the market will react.

As a trader, its tough sitting on a massive 60% loss making it very difficult to jump out of the bus now.

Anyway, i continue to observe.

DeRuggedProf:

Yeah, kind of mixed feeling...It is well prof.

The above is an old message dated 16th March, informing The Exchange and the general public of AGM which was supposed to hold yesterday 30th March, 2020. Whether or not aforesaid meeting held is another question.

DexterousOne:

The choice is yours to make.

ojeysky:


Unless there is some hidden charges am yet to find out with meritrade, I think the cumulative charge of 1.3% of meritrade is still better

Answer; Yes it did hold !!
It's a BOD meet up though, not AGM. ...AGM should come up after their YE FP is released.

It is well.

They are the most expensive so far. I wonder why. United Capital is “slightly” cheaper.

Never really found out about this Morgan of a thing.
I am jumping ship.

Straight to Morgan

For NEM Faithfuls food is done.

No obvious dividend figure in financial statement but looking at the profits and movement in reserves i have a computed a dividend figure of 13k/share which is same figure for last year. So dividend will be static.

I am not an insurance sector follower but quick take on this result which looks average are:

Positives
- 34% increase in gross premium income (i.e. assuming the are underwriting the right risks and pricing appropriately)
- Fees and commission income increased by 58%
- 8% drop in investment income. Considered acceptable in view of what happened in the market in H2 2019

Negatives
- disproportionate increase in reinsurance fees by 82% compared to GPI. Maybe Reinsurers think they are not underwriting right risks or pricing them appropriately. Most likely the latter in view of cut throat industry competition.
- PBT declined by 29%.
- Tax credit took PAT 18% higher than previous year.

Generally this is one of the better managed companies in the insurance sector. Caution should be watchword for retail investors. This sector is expected to face significant headwinds perhaps more than other industries, in 2020. For dividend lovers, DY @ 13k/s is in 7.2% range.

Since March 16th that marks their close period can't we see that some folks are coded and constantly dumping at N9

Can you explain what you mean by United Capital is cheaper?

SEC; 0.3%
COMMISSION: 1.00 excluding VAT
STAMP DUTY: 0.075%
TRADE ALERT: N4.20 VAT included

I think the difference is minimal. The figures are for United Capital

How can you claim to be a trader and still remain in a trade after a whooping 20% loss
let alone a 60% loss
