TONY56: mine was debited but not thrown at the floor why because of late submission that day Monday was a public holiday and I submitted my bid on Tuesday. There was an iota of doubt by the NTB officer if my bid will be successful but decided to give it a trial. Not much to drive here just for knowledge sake and enlightenment. 1 Like |

Good observation, worse case scenario if the governement fails to meet its debt obligation. 1. It will increase international borrowing rates. 2. It will increase local borrowing rates 3. The value of Naira will crash to the level of Venezuela and Zimbabwe i.e. To buy one loaf of Agege bread with a plate of ewa could be N1500 and exchange rate could fly N750/$ today and N400/$ tomorrow. 4. Crime will rise 5. The poor will suffer most. 6. Oloshos will reduce their price and the cost of vaseline will go up. 7. Inflation will kick most people into Agriculture My advice to investors, know your onion. Do not invest foolishly, in an unpredictable economy, your N25,000,000 can easily degrade to N15,000,000 even though you have earned huge interests. As much as the Federal government doesn't show any signs of collapse, the incompetent decisions makers in the government are brain dead economists. joseph1013: 2 Likes |

condomuser:Scary. These economic indices keep me awake at night. In your own submission, how does one mitigate the risks of this affecting one severely? |

emmanuelewumi: joseph1013: Based on the submissions of condomuser, even if you spread your investments to a million different types, the same fate will befall all as whatever gains you make from ALL will also be affected by the devaluation. The only exception will be if any of your Investments is or are in hard currencies like the $, £, €, ¥ etc. So pls just don't bother yourself and continue with whatever type of investment you believe in and continue making or growing your profits at least to be able to cushion the effect of tgeanticipated devaluation which may not even happen. |

joseph1013: Stop bothering yourself over what has not even showed any sign of happening my brother. When we get to that "bridge" (that is if we ever get there), we shall know how to cross it. Suppose you chicken out now and the economy continues to improve, then you'll be full of regrets. Be positive and watchful at the same time to be able to see such negative indices before they are fully blown in other to take very good decision. |

TONY56: Devaluation or no devaluation in makes sense and it is shrewd to diversify your investments and generating income from different asset classes . That is why to an extent I agree with Alikote . |
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by chukzyfcbb: 11:13pm On Sep 03, 2017 |
joseph1013:simple they issue more volumes. coz that's what they do always. Eg If FG issues 1,000,000 units at 364days for 20% It means they need to pay 1,200,000. so what they do is Offer a bigger amount at the next auction date. They offer 1,200,000 and people subscribe to it, they use the new investors funds to pay off the old investors matured funds. Its kinda like a ponzi cycle,lol. As old one is maturing, use new funds to pay off the old guys. A logical cycle! This is the major approach they take. Revenues and money priniting are other alternate methods they can use to cover up the increasing debt obligations 2 Likes |

GODAKPAN:actually its dangerous, The internet is not as safe as you may believe. Telling us the amount you invested here is not proper especially if you invest big! You may not understand much about IT or how PCs network amongst each other but I do to a large extent and I tell you the Internet isn't safe. Just tell us your experiences without keeping the amount discreet, 1m. 20m 100m. Just keep it discreet! 3 Likes |
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by chukzyfcbb: 12:10am On Sep 04, 2017 |
Alikote:Mr Alikote You have spoke some sense tho. but I need to set out some few misconceptions in your writeup. Putting your money in a Tbills vehicle is Investing, whereas exchanging your funds for dollars is Pure Speculation. Its the same speculation that is driving the crypto currency in today's world, And need I remind you that Speculative investment is very risky! No one is a guru at being speculative, eg you cant even tell when dollar will drop to 280 you are just HOPING on Dangote's refinery to kick off. Alhaji Dangote who is more versed than you in business had a drop in the valuation of assets when converted to dollars. Rather than worry over how you are keeping up with Exchange rate. Its more feasible to worry over the effects of the exchange rate on you and I, which is inflation. In 5yrs, your funds increased from 13m to 20m. What 13m could afford in 2012, I am certain 20m can afford that today and still leave change!. Nevertheless I don't believe ur 13m should yield 20m in 5yrs because by my count 13m should yield 22m at 12%. Tbills has averaged atleast 12% annually in the last 5yrs, I stand to be corrected!!! You claim you are not discouraging anybody from Tbills but you indirectly are. I believe most people here have active business that yields income for them , Tbills is just a way of providing passive income with lil or no risk attached of defaulting. A true investment is in investment in a cash flowing asset, From rented properties to a leased land to Money market its the best form of investment. Investment strategy where you buy and hold hoping for an Increase in value before selling is not usually advised by Top Investment gurus. Go find out! Cash-flow assets has always been key advice! #Cheers 2 Likes

chukzyfcbb:it droped to 7 percent and missed some days from maturity to reinvestment how do u calculate that.....now let do local investment maths if i bought rice of 13 million at 7500 i will have 1733.3 bags but with my 20 million now after 5 year @16000 per bag 1 will have 1250 bags i have lost 483.3 bags just like that . u can clearly speculate on the Naira against the dollar in 5 year it might hit 400 naira it mitigate the risk spread investment..if could have bought some dollars and kept in the dorm or safe 5 million(32000 dollars), tb (5 million) land (1 million)money market fund(1 million) gold(1 million) am sure my net portfolio will be around 30 million naira as at today |

Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by chukzyfcbb: 10:05am On Sep 04, 2017 |
Alikote: Well, Everybody has his or her own risk appetite. It seems you can stomach the risk of currency speculating. What I do know is Concentration in an asset builds wealth, diversification preserves it. I don't know your age but let's say you decided to Stash this 20m UNTOUCHED for 20yrs at 13% annually (although its doing higher than 13% for now). With compound interest at your mercy , after 20yrs your 20m will turn ATLEAST 230million or more. I believe at this age you should be thinking retirement. How certain are you that if you do business with 20m today it will surpass 230m in 20yrs? In the end its good to diversify, For me I am a strong disciple of COMPOUND INTEREST. For now, Tbills is good atleast within 2016 and 2017, rates have averaged 17%. Someone who started with the same 13m as you in January 2016 , by December 2017 would have made 17m in just 2yrs. 5 Likes 2 Shares

Plenty big big grammar here......for lay men like me. TB rates are rossy so am on dat bus.....when tins change we'll find another worthy substitute. Am not a fan of speculation. I take what I can when it's available and leave the rest for God. Presently my mind is on 2018 and what it holds for me in the TB market. Remember treasury bill funds would otherwise be in a savings account, so whatever I can take from it, is fine. Besides my business doesn't need reinvesting for now. 3 Likes |

Many thanks, great minds!!!. Have been so educated and can't but admit that ur contributions can equally be 'compounded' into a big book for great investment yields... lol ![]() ![]() ![]() That said, pls this is my conclusion and subsequent actions and wish to be guided; 1) open a savings account with Stanbic for primary NTB in the 13th Sept auction 2) open a savings account with FBN for secondaries at good available rates 3) wait for the maturity of the Mutual fund investment i made with FBN merchant( 2weeks ago bf i stumbled on this thread) and take them to investment with NTB thank you so much and God bless our hussles 2 Likes 1 Share |
