@Skelewagy, JAPAUL OIL is a sure bet from my CRYSTAL BALL it as won $48.3m contract, and succeeded in winning a new contract for dredging and other marine services with SHELL and the contract will be executed within the next two years.
The facilities & equipment that are required for the successful execution of the job are virtually on ground and other ones that will be hired to compliment the existing equipment are already ordered for.

This is another milestone of successful story of Japaul and for the next two years income is guarantee for the company, additionally, there are other contracts that JAPAUL shall be signing before the year runs out and they run into millions of dollars. This is an indication that they will be able to meet up with our various dividend projections for the year 2007 & 2008, the only indigenous company competing with the foreign oil companies.

Also the monopoly enjoyed by the company in its sector of operation, am of the opinion that JAPAUL progressive financial record within the last five years make it a sure bet for me.

Many questions which as to be answer to but i can say that we should all be alert in taking decisions,The outcome of placing a temporary ban on Banks coming to the market be giving a go ahead, after raising about over #600 billion from the capital market?

The markets look some how over saturated with so many PP/IPO pending but we should be looking at VALUE investing also note that, Investments can fluctuate in price and value and the investor might get back less than was originally invested.

Nacho’s N2bn Share Offer Opens Sept 10, 2007

Existing shareholders and potential investors of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company PLC (NAHCo), the nation’s foremost ground handling company, now have the opportunity of increasing their stakes in the Company, as the much awaited combined N2, 152,500,000 Public Offer opens on September 10 and closes on September 28. The exercise is aimed at raising adequate capital for the implementation of NAHCo’s three-year Corporate Business Plan.



NAHCo is offering 90million Ordinary Shares of 50k each at N17.50 per share through a Public Offer. The Company is simultaneously offering by way of rights 35million Ordinary shares of 50k each at N16.50k per share to existing shareholders as at 18th May, 2007.



The gross proceeds from the combined Offer are estimated at N2, 152,500,000. The estimated net proceeds is N2,002,590,465.00, after deducting the costs of the issue (N149, 909, 535.00 or 6.96%) will be used to fund the Company’s business growth and expansion strategy, which includes acquiring new Ground Support Equipments (GSEs), reinforcing the company’s technology platform, construction of new cargo sheds, re-branding, and increasing the working capital to support the expected expansion. About 49.56% of the net proceeds of the offer will be committed to the purchase of equipments which are critical to NAHCo’s operations.



At the Completion Board meeting of the Offer held in Lagos on Thursday, Alhaji Suleiman Yahyah, NAHCo’s Vice Chairman, stated that the Company needs the capital injection in order to further improve on its ability to continue to deliver maximum stakeholder value. Also at the occasion, Dr. Jonathan Long, Chairman of FCMB Capital Markets, one of the joint issuing houses, said the share offer is predicated on the need for NAHCo to continue to deliver quality services to domestic, regional, and international airlines.



NAHCo’s market capitalization, which at pre offer stands at N13.125 billion, is expected to increase to N15.312 billion after the offer. The Company’s Management and the Parties to the issue are confident that the share offer will be fully subscribed, given the impressive performance of the Company, as well as the robust trading of its shares on the Stock Exchange. NAHCo stock is the most active aviation stock in the Nigerian capital market.



Listed on the Stock Exchange on 28 November, 2006 at N5.50k, NAHCo’s share value remained steadily on the increase, closing at N70.05 in May 2007 before it was technically adjusted for dividend and bonus issue payment, in line with the regulations of the Capital Market. NAHCo investors reaped over 1000% capital gain between November 2006 and June 2007. The shareholders were also allotted bonus of 3 for 2.



This record performance by NAHCo stock has been described by analysts as the capital market’s reaction to the company’s strings of impressive performances, especially its 2006 operating results. The audited operating results of the company for the financial year ended 31 December, 2006, show that Turnover grew from N3.050billion to N3.245billion, while Profit before Tax rose by 21.4% from N457.7million to N555.9million.



NAHCo controls over 75% of the ground handling market in Nigeria, offering ground support services to 27 of the 35 airlines operating in the country. It recently also won the ground handling contracts for Arik Air, Delta Airlines, a new carrier licensed for the US-Nigeria route, and Aero Contractors at MMA Terminal 2.



Meanwhile, Mr. Bates Sarki Sule, MD/CEO of NAHCo, has disclosed that the company’s focus is on the provision of improved quality service, significant investment in purchase of brand new ground handling equipment, corporate re-branding, human capital development, and improvement in its automation systems. According to him, NAHCo is re-positioning in order to maximise stakeholder value and surmount the future challenges of competition.

THE ABUJA SECURITIES & COMMODITY EXCHANGE (ASCE)
( www.abujacomex.com )

The Abuja Securities & Commodity Exchange(ASCE) was originally incorporated as a Stock Exchange on June 17, 1998. It commenced electronic trading in securities in May 2001 and was converted to a commodity Exchange on August 8, 2001 and brought under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Commerce. The conversion was premised on the need for an alternative institutional arrangement that would manage the effect of price fluctuations in the marketing of agricultural produce which has adversely affected the earnings of farmers since the abolishment of commodity Boards in 1986. Attempts to establish a Commodity Exchange and Futures market in the country dates back to 1989 when an Inter-Ministerial Technical Committee was set up at the behest of the Central Bank of Nigeria to look into how a Futures Exchange for agricultural commodities could be established to address frontally the agro-commodity marketing problems.

The Exchange will be of immense benefits to farmers, agro-commodity processors and merchants, as it will serve as a veritable platform for them to mitigate the inherent risks in agricultural production and marketing. The enlarged market for agricultural produce, which the ASCE will engender, shall promote commercial farming and the growth of the agricultural sector. The Exchange will start operations in spot and forward markets and gradually introduce trading in warehouse receipts and eventually evolve into a futures market trading commodity futures and options. It will trade contracts in agricultural produce, solid mineral products, energy, financial indices and currencies. The Exchange will commence spot trading on agricultural commodity contracts in July 2006 and later in the year launch spot trading on solid mineral contracts.

@windywendy,

Congrats on your bouncing babe girl we go drink champeooooo!!!!!!!!!

JAPAUL OIL AND MARITIME SERVICES. CLOSE ALL YOUR EYES AND PUT I MILLION ON IT ITS A SURE BET,

@ALL,

From my crystall ball i saw b4 me, CEMENT PRICE WAR
President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has ordered the immediate reopening of the N12 billion Ibeto cement plant in Rivers

state, but Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (CCNN) last week opened its application list for a N1.6 billion rights issue.
The company is offering about 173 million ordinary shares at N9.00 per share on the basis of 4 shares for every 25 shares held. This is for shareholders whose names are on the register as at March 30, 2007.The offer closes on August 22, 2007.

The purpose of the offer is to finance its power plant through the purchase of three 4 megawatts generating sets. Also, the company would maximize the offer proceeds in the area of equipment purchase that will be used to blend and burn biomass to boost production. Management are of the opinion that the money realised would enhance the growth of the company by reducing operation cost especially in the area of power generation.
Will the private placement trigger more price war and the crash of cements price.

@ ALL,

AS I OPEN MY CRYSTALL BALL I SAW THE FOLLOWING: Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (CCNN)

The world’s fourth largest supplier, Heidelberg cement (HC), has already indicated interest to inject about N971 million in form of equity into the company. Other key stakeholders that have indicated interest in injecting funds are Nasdal Bap Nigeria Limited (N184 million), Dantata Investment & Security company Limited (N129.5 million) and other Northern states.

They have commence there Private placement and i think its a good buy as more investor are scrambling to invest into it but with the opening of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has ordered the immediate reopening of the N12 billion Ibeto cement plant in Rivers state, will this not affect the price of cements company on the stock market after the price slow down

@ ALL,

At Wall Street its very very bad for stock market today will this affect Nigeria stock markets?

Stocks Plunge; Dow Down More Than 310

Wall Street suffered one of its worst losses of 2007 Thursday, leading a global stock market plunge as investors succumbed to months of worry about the mortgage and corporate lending markets. The Dow Jones industrials closed down more than 310 points after earlier skidding nearly 450.

Investors who had been able for months to largely shrug off discomfort about subprime mortgage problems and a more difficult environment for corporate borrowing finally decided it was time to sell after the Commerce Department issued another disappointing home sales report.

Feeding the plunge were concerns that higher corporate borrowing costs will curb the rapid pace of takeovers that had driven stocks

higher this year. Investors also feared the sluggish environment for home sales and continued defaults in subprime loans would spur debt defaults and weigh on corporate earnings.

While stocks plummeted, investors poured money into the safe haven of the bond market. The soaring price of Treasurys pulled yields lower, and the rate on the 10-year note plunged to 4.79 percent from late Wednesday's 4.90 percent.

"Worries that have been out there for the past couple of years are coming to a head right now," said investment strategist Edward Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research Inc. "It's show time."

Thursday's trading was the latest and most extreme in a series of frenetic sessions over the past month -- many also accompanied by triple-digit swings in the Dow -- as investors sold on worries about the subprime fallout or bought on optimism that there wouldn't be any widespread problems caused by mortgage failures. Many analysts have described the back-and-forth trading as overwrought and based more on gut emotion than careful consideration of market and economic fundamentals.

Ryan, partner, Wider Europe Capital Management (WECM), disclosed this exclusively to Business Day at a meeting to kick off a training conference on building world-class Nigerian banks. The two are among representatives of various foreign banks like UBS of Switzerland, Nedbank of South Africa and Barclays of London, who are here for the conference.
