@dollyp1cute,


You are wrong again and i said i disagree with you in all aspect, NSE is not a SHAMBLE take that, we still have many
rivers to cross no doubt about that and we shall crumble , stumble and rise till we get to the highest hight, if Rome was
not built in a day, why do you want total perfections from the NSE as you known its and still an emerging market, that still have to grow,just take a look at the history of London stock exchange DO YOU THINK ALL THERE PERFECTION START TODAY?

The London Stock Exchange is one of the world’s oldest stock exchanges and can trace its history back more than 300 years. Starting life in the coffee houses of 17th century London, the Exchange quickly grew to become the City’s most important financial institution. Over the centuries following, the Exchange has consistently led the way in developing a strong, well-regulated stock market and today lies at the heart of the global financial community.  

1698

John Castaing begins to issue “at this Office in Jonathan’s Coffee-house” a list of stock and commodity prices called “The Course of the Exchange and other things”. It is the earliest evidence of organised trading in marketable securities in London.

1698

Stock dealers are expelled from the Royal Exchange for rowdiness and start to operate in the streets and coffee houses nearby, in particular in Jonathan’s Coffee House in Change Alley.

1720

The wave of speculative fever known as the “South Sea Bubble” bursts.

1748

Fire sweeps through Change Alley, destroying most of the coffee houses. They are subsequently rebuilt.

1761

A group of 150 stock brokers and jobbers form a club at Jonathan's to buy and sell shares.

1773

The brokers erect their own building in Sweeting’s Alley, with a dealing room on the ground floor and a coffee room above. Briefly known as “New Jonathan’s”, members soon change the name to “The Stock Exchange”.

1801

On 3 March, the business reopens under a formal membership subscription basis. On this date, the first regulated exchange comes into existence in London, and the modern Stock Exchange is born.

1802

The Exchange moves into a new building in Capel Court.

1812

The first codified rule book is created.

1836

The first regional exchanges open in Manchester and Liverpool.

1845

More speculative fever – this time “Railway mania” – sweeps the country.

1854

The Stock Exchange is rebuilt.

1876

A new Deed of Settlement for the Stock Exchange comes into force.

1914

The Great War means the Exchange market is closed from the end of July until the new year. The Stock Exchange Battalion of Royal Fusiliers is formed – 1,600 volunteered, 400 never returned.

1923

The Exchange receives its own Coat of Arms, with the motto “Dictum Meum Pactum” (My Word is My Bond).

1939

The start of World War Two. The Exchange is closed for 6 days and reopens on 7 September. The floor of the House closes for only one more day, in 1945 due to damage from a V2 rocket – trading then continues in the basement.

1972

Her Majesty the Queen opens the Exchange's new 26-storey office block with its 23,000sq ft trading floor.

1973

First female members admitted to the market. The 11 British and Irish regional exchanges amalgamate with the London exchange.

1986

Deregulation of the market, known as “Big Bang”:

Ownership of member firms by an outside corporation is allowed.
All firms become broker/dealers able to operate in a dual capacity.
Minimum scales of commission are abolished.
Individual members cease to have voting rights.
Trading moves from being conducted face-to-face on a market floor to being performed via computer and telephone from separate dealing rooms.
The Exchange becomes a private limited company under the Companies Act 1985.

Please can you tell me how old is NSE, i accept we have some faults but all hope is not lost its still one of the highest return in the World.

@dollyp1cute,

Of course the NSE is a bit of shamble, and there is good money to be made now if you can gamble well before the wind blows to expose the anus of the crow then everyone will find his/her level. If you have done your home work to have bought a solid company then all you will need to do is have patience for the dust to settle before your stock picks up again.

You are totally wrong and i disagree wit you on all aspect, AN INVESTMENT CONFERENCE IS ON NOW AT MILLENNIUM HOTEL GROVERSNOR SQUARE IN LONDON TODAY. THEME: OPPORTUNITY IN NIGERIA, if you can make it you will discover more about the possibilities of the new AFRICAN TIGER NIGERIA, .

@dollyp1cute,

I find it hard to talk about Nigerian market as a "Normal Market" and @Roughcut all that capitalization business comparing it to South Africa is shambles, South Africa is seen as being more stable, transparent and less corrupted.

Unless NSE is properly regulated and transparent you can compare from now till tomorrow

What are you trying to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that NSE is a shamble or what and take a look at your conclusion

Don't get me wrong there is money to be make in a short run

, i cant understand you

@ ALL

The following companies will be coming to the market very soon can we digest and made comments on which one to put our money in and why:

Diamond Bank, Access Bank, Fidelity Bank, GT Bank,

Obajana Cement, Dangote Flour, NAHCO, CCNN,

@ ALL,

We are all here to learn and to explore a way out off the present  situation we find ourself just let us take a look at these, for those that think Yankee is the ultimate i think they need to have a rethink, yes we have our own problems but the facts that we believe in our Country we shall over come just a peep into YANKEE details@davidylan

                           FROM A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE TO A NATION OF DEPENDENT


Two hundred and thirty one years ago- July 4, 1776- the founding fathers of the United States met in Independence Hall and signed a document declaring America’s independence from oppressive British rule. But today America is again dependent, surviving on imports, debt and income from the sale of our best companies. While Americans this week celebrate our liberties, heritage and sacrifice of our soldiers, lets also remember these important statistics that are eroding our independence.
The Balance of Trade deficit was $765 billion or $1,450,000 per minute in 2006 and used, not to buy US Exports, but our core industries and means of production.
The U.S. national debt was $8.8 trillion as of June 2007, how will we ever earn enough to pay it?
With an estimated population of 302 million every American’s share of the debt is $29,130.
Ownership of the US Debt by other nations (loans to us) is astronomically high- and these countries can pull their holdings at any time, which could devastate the economy.

A nation with a large trade deficit is not that different from a person spending above his means. If you have had a successful career but suddenly lose your job, you still have a lot of credit available to you on your credit cards. Thus you can continue to enjoy a fine lifestyle for some time after your income stops. But if you do not find a new job in the end you will hit your credit limit and life will then change dramatically. This is not the equivalent of an individual having a perennial "trade deficit" with their local grocer while maintaining a surplus with their other employment and income accounts. The true analog would be as noted - an unemployed individual continuing to spend freely sustained temporarily with nothing but credit based on past worth.

@ denex,

Some of the problems can be solved by the government licensing foreign banks such as HSBC which have survived in countries where interest rates are below 5%.

,

You are wrong as at today the interest rate in UK as gone up from (0.2% to 5.25%), just to let you know we are all learning and our Country is part of the learning process.

@ lavile,

Our assertion is based purely on the way 9ja people are and if i may ask you who is government? was is not its people ,we can only move it forward if we provide solutions which as to starts from all of us imaging you bribing a LASMA official and you are not paying your tax simply because this or that look i tell you it wont work like that.

No Nations on Earth who does not have its problems let us kindly be finding ways of providing solutions to our numerous problems we can make a change the US your friends runs too are not exceptional they too make things work and we can do it in our Country also.

LONG LIVE NIGERIA.

@ ALL,

@ big b 1,

Let us learn from our lesson:
     You can see that these resources have fanned civil wars in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Congo, Angola, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Chad. Coups and mercenary incursions have occurred in almost all resource-rich African countries.
     
    The corruption and graft that follows the discovery of these resources has destroyed the social fabric of many of these so-called oil or mineral producing African countries. Bad governance, weak and inefficient institutions, poor accountability, crime and parasitic state employees (now a hallmark of these countries) have all contributed to chase Africa's best brains out of the continent.
    There is no doubt that this brain drain is negatively affecting the competence and the commitment of those left behind to negotiate trade terms with foreign partners and administer these countries.

@ALL

PLEASE READ THIS:
On Monday, the British firm Tullow Oil announced the discovery of the equivalent of 600 million barrels of oil off the coast of Ghana, one of the biggest oil discoveries in Africa in recent times. But is this discovery a good or bad omen?

Even though the actual exploitation of the oil is still several years down the road, many in Ghana are already celebrating.  "We're going to really zoom, accelerate, and if everything works, which I pray will happen positively, you come back in five years, and you'll see that Ghana truly is the African tiger, in economic terms, for development."

This type of exhilaration could be accepted as normal if it were coming from ordinary innocent Ghanaians. Ordinary Nigerians, Cameroonians, Congolese, Chadians, Angolans, etc. manifested this type of elation when oil was discovered in their respective countries. Today, it is no secret that after years of oil exploitation, most of the petroleum revenue in these countries simply disappeared. It is my opinion that Kufuor's elation about this oil find is a little bit naive. As a seasoned politician and African Union (AU) chairman, he is better placed to know that oil and other minerals have contributed more to African backwardness than the want of resources.

 Now tell me who is afraid of Ghanaian Oil??

@poster

Yes its real and live, after more than six years of searching from the wilderness they found abundant oil from formal name of goldcoast now to be called oilcoast.

@ chexxy,

Just try and read this informations:
National contributory pension scheme since its inception in June 2004, stands at about N70 billion ($538 million).

In addition to this amount, there is also a further N45 billion ($346 million) in public sector pensions funds currently held temporarily by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), pending verification of the record of the account owners (civil servants with unclear employment records).

The amount is expected to be remitted to the Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) for management as soon as the records of the owners were properly reconciled.

At present, there is an estimated inflow of about N5 billion ($38 million) per month in new pension assets to the PFAs. This amount is expected to increase to between N6 billion ($46 million) and N7 billion ($53 million) monthly by the end of 2007 as more private sector employers begin to comply with PENCOM regulations and remit funds to PFAs, he said.

All these figures present an evaluation of the level of liquidity in the stocks of the Top 50 and also describe the current size and distribution of pension assets in Nigeria. "The objective is to analyse the current level of liquidity of these Top 50 stocks, while attempting to measure the impact of the recent (and substantial) inflow of pension assets on market liquidity", and smelling of big money,kudi,ego,owo its waiting to blow up the market.

@chexxy and all,

This is the time to be ALIVE and live in a great Country full of honey and milk, i swear this is the time to be in 9JA 4 real:
