MANY GOOD STOCKS ARE NOW AT LEVELS WHERE PEOPLE CAN DO ZONE INVESTING
I am happy to be in this forum at a time like this. Reviewing some of our charts (communication, Uranium are among the sectors that looks okay), EPD, GSK[, IBM etc/b] are some strong stocks in a good buying zone.

Happy weekend to all.

[b]We should target some stocks that are investment grade and that can pay us for the long term.

MARKET LOOKING STABLE THIS MORNING!!!
For last 2 days, our tech heavy portfolio have been stable compared with the one that that has more energy stocks.

Let us see if the job report will not do area scatter. Also, China seems to be back on stream. Problem with China is that when they suppose to save the market, they are always disappointing. I hope China is not disappointing everybody (they disappointed the world bank too) intentionally so that they will continue to be classified as an emerging market and enjoy some benefits not available to developed economies!!!

Our watchlist remain same (AAPL, METAL etc)

WHAT CAN WE DO NOW

We want to be on the defensive in the face of this bearish market.

We will only buy high conviction stocks at strong support.

THERE IS A TIME AND SEASON FOR EVERYTHING
There is a time to slow down or stay on the sideline. Although some stocks seems to have good set up (AAPL, INTC, EC etc), general bearishness of the market make buying now a little risky.

So, let us wait a little, but keep our watchlist on standbye

A very good day
good people of this forum,
Please i need advice on this offer i see about
FG opens offers for N150bn sukuk bonds at 15.75% interest per annum.
is it a good investment for a student with 1 million naira am not using for now.

Looks good at least your money will be safe as market is falling. For a risk aversed person it should be okay. Al least you will collect the interest and have your money back intact, on expiration.

Today 3 Oct Is For Running away from The bear arrow:

We just need to go to cash in may postions and in some cases, stop loss triggered.

Market is sometimes like that.

And the bears are saying, if I hear pim!! That is why here is quiet

TODAY LOOK LIKE A BITCOIN DAY
Today looks like a likely bitcoin day in the market. The bitcoin stocks are rioting and which stock is leading the riot: the ticker RIOT of course.

Generally we expect a green day today.

Above is part of what we are sharing in our message for today.

PEOPLE SHOULD NOT TURN THIS FORUM TO A JOKING GROUND

The person that say Trove is closing his account may not be telling us the whole story.

This person has been asking for which stockbroker to use since 2022, continue again on 2023. Wanted to trade options in between, has shares in PBR and VALE collecting big dividends etc. With the experience the person suppose to have, the person should not be asking for advice, should be putting others through.

Henceforth, I will not be willing to give any advice readily, except I see that the person is serious and genuine. This forum should be for serious people, who are interested in investing/trading for preservation of their money. So let us know which advice we should follow and who to take serious.

For TROVE, I believe Trove should still be in business and whoever want to use Trove, should continue with them. .

Again, I will say let us mind who we should believe. Thanks to every genuine member of this forum, we are sacrificing so much to keep this forum alive, even if Oakpeal for some reason has not been posting (we wish him well and pray for God's protection to be upon him and everything that he is connected with), we promise to keep the Oakpeal dream flag flying and that posterity will continue to remember him. Long live US STOCK picks Alert forum!!!

sgtponzihater1:


I am struggling to see what the role of Trove is in this. I believe they ought to be the one looking for a broker for you. Except there is a missing detail.

______________
Issues like this should be a general matter not affecting you alone. Unfortunately this is not a surprise thing. The policies Trove is operating with is such that for them to survive in the long run will be a miracle. If Trove is closing, if you are base in Nigeria and you have an account that you cannot sell stock that will fetch you at least 1k(you know the currency) in one transaction, then your best bet is CHAKA (if they realy give you that option). If you allow Drivewealth to chose for you, there is 70% certainty your account will go to SPROUTIFI.

Why is Chaka the best for you if you trade with small money :
_transfer fee is small, it is like what you pay in using transfer between you and entities based in Nigeria. For SPROUTIFI, transfer charge is a minimum of something on the region of $38 (thirty eight dollars, you are dealing with a foreign entity)
_you cam withdraw ant amount from your account as low as 5 or $10 is possible at nearly zero charge. For Sproutifi or any foreign broker you have $38 fixed charge even if you are withdrawing $1.
- chaka allow you to trade if you have $0.01 in your wallet. SPROUTIFI will allow you to trade if your balance is over $1, we that are getting small small dividend from time to time know this as the dividends are sometimes negligible
-dealing with chaka is simple, it is as if you are dealing with your local Nigeria Fintech. You know, just like the way you can receive and pay money from your Nigeria bamk APPS
- for commission, chaka is basically 1% flat for buying and another 1% for selling, no minimum. If you comming from Trove, you will like this. The commission is 100% cheaper that Trove which have a minimum base of $0.5 on each transaction

So you can make your decision with the above fact. Goodluck. Your matter just confirmed that our money is safe with Trove and Chaka, our money is not with them, our mone/stock is with the US broker(drivewealth), while Chaka/Trove/Sprotifi are just sub brokers.

I am sure you will be happy starting again with Chaka (disavange is that you will not be able to trade many penny stocks, but you still have access to over 8000 stocks that are traded in US exchanges, and like our local proverb "ki ni an wa ka, 8000 stocks to chose from, it is reasonable enough to manover and make good profit). Then if your account grows l, you can the move to a foreign broker (in my explanations above SPoutify represents a typical foreign broker).

For me if I receive this notice from TROVE (I am waiting for it with joy), my first porting will be to CHAKA and then I can think of something else later.

AS EXPECTED MARKET WILL RECOVERS SOME OF YESTERDAY'S LOSS

Global market will try to recover after a bearish day yesterday. Stock looking for stability, while commodities are up.

Oil/other commodities looking good plus China

LITTLE BY LITTLE WE ARE GETTING TO THE REALITY THAT SOMETIMES IT IS BETTER TO BE IN CASH

FOMC report has changed the market to bearish side since yesterday. We will look to defend our portfolio or do more on the sell side.

However, we are going to wait till next week to have a better direction of the market. For now we will want our stop to be tight.

On market opening today, we are likely to see a big move to the downside. Only the strong stocks will hold their grounds. So let us apply more caution, not a time to buy anyhow stock!!!

abuhusna1:

I loaded all your mentioned less than a dollar geqlth stocks with 5k usd and deleted my trove. I'll check back in 6 months to give update as I don't like investing with emotions seeing or check8ng dash board all the time to avoid panic sell

You need to learn to manage your trades! If what you said is true, it is an extreme risk and I am sorry, there is high probability of you making a big loss. So we await your result. However, to be more open just give us a list of the stocks so that we can monitor along.

ONE OF THE REASON I LIKE THE GLOBAL MARKET IS THAT IT CAN NEVER BE DOWN TO LEVEL OF HOPELESSNESS
In this market, we are currently retracing, but when you are thinking that, the level of loss will just be unbearable, you will just see the market turn bullish either at open or in middle of the day (just like yesterday and probably today too).

I believe, what made this possible is the large number of participants from various continents. This is in contrast to the local market, where there can be few foreign participants.

TRYING TO PLAY THE GLOBAL MARKET WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION/SIGNAL SERVICE IS AN INVITATION TO LOSSES

Global Market is too wide to know everything. Subscription services can give us that specialized information to make easy profit. Went back to look at URANIUM stocks, the sector is in strong uptrend, we want to look to buy on pullback.

EXTRACT FROM OUR PRIVATE GROUP POST WHAT BUSINESS SECTOR IS TESLA OPERATING IN?

TSLA, is an interesting stock, the stock is becoming like a managed fund, it is in many INDUSTRIES, so buying this stocks me and you have a portfolio of industries : Energy (solar), is an AI stock (data collection, computer system), EV stock, Charging station like BE/CHPT, etc

TODAY LOOK LIKE A GOOD DAY TO POSTION OURSELF FOR PULLBACK PLAYS
LOW commission can bring a beast of a trader out of anybody.

Today, I have placed my bets on the table. I trust my indicators and quality of my purchases. Where did we put our money today: YINN, COIN, TSLA etc. If I don't have time to monitor stock movement too closely, I need only quality stocks in my portfolio.
!!!

IN A DULL/BEARISH MARKET WE NEED TO REDUCE OUR BUY/SELL REQUENCY-EXTRACT OF WHAT WE SHARED WITH OUR PRIVATE FORUM MEMBERS

This global market is not easy, attempt to trade frequently when market is dull/bearish is likely to drain our portfolio. So in a time like this we want to focus on the medium timeframe at least and reduce our buy sell frequency. Therefore, we want to buy only strong stocks (strong in terms of trend and price, any stock below $1.00 is out of our consideration and we want dividend paying stocks. So it is as if we are going back to the drawing board, with the above ideas in mind. Look forward to see the above in our stock watchlist.

MARKET LOOKS FULL TODAY - BUT LATER PART IS LOOKING BETTER
Let us see what happens tommorrow.

We need stocks in our portfolio that can give us a legacy.

Today we bought PLTR as planned.

ENERGY AND BITCOIN SECTORS LOOKING GOOD THIS MORNING
Energy sector is showing some energy to the uptrend. For the likes of Bitcoin stocks, using BTC/USD as our guide, Bitcoin is in a low risk buying zone at the moment.

Secondly, we do not like bear market, however, if the bear has come, there is nothing we can do but to acknowledge it. But, if we are opportuned to have spare cash at a time when the bear is tired in some stocks, then we can buy oversold stocks that are about to turn back to the bullish side. Among the list of stocks we are eyeing is PLTR, talk of any technical parameter that tell us a stock is in reversal zone, PLTR has it. So, we are looking to enter PLTR again, after the CPI report today.

Our indicator is telling us that this PLTR is high probability set up.

BIG MONEY IS TELLING US TO CASH SOME OF OUR PROFITS AHEAD OF THE HIGH IMPACT CPI REPORT

That is what is currently going on. So for tommorrow, expect the bear?

But after the news, we can then start planning what to do.

LET US ALLIGN OURSELF WITH THE BEST SECTORS OF THE MARKET!
One of the rule that protect you from taking a loss home the first day you buy a stock is buying in a sector that is performing.

If there is COVID we should see the effect in health/biotech sectors. But XLV/ LABU is not saying there is COVID. There has always been isolated cases here and there. Biotechs will only be moving high if this COVID is widespread. So we should not be running faster than the market.

Let us note that that there are fund Managers that are Doctors and they monitor biotech firms for their firms. So if fund Managers are neither buying XLV nor LABU, I wonder how one can be bullish on Covid stocks. Let us remember that this is what made somebody to loose a whole $5000 (may be bigger than this, but if you search this forum you will see it). You can search for the post in this forum.

For now good sectors are[b] TECH, ENERGY, CONSUMER STAPLES[/b] and I see Finance also coming up.

Let us have a nice weekend!!!

COMMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL STOCKS
- 7 SEPT 2023 (EXTRACT)
Market was down yesterday and may continue to the downside today on inflation fears. VIX/dollar rising is supporting the retracement, so we want to avoid buying breakouts and stick to only stock at support).

We should only be interested in the best opportunities. If we see no good stock, better to be in cash.

Tech sector still remain best. at this point we cannot ignore China, with most of the stocks in wave 2, while most US stocks are in wave 5, so there is better opportunities in Chinese stocks . We keep our main watchlist as: SOXL, NUGT etc

WHEN WILL I PICK A STOCK ON TECHNICAL GROUNDS OVER FUNDAMENTAL
Today I was in a dilemma as to which one to chose between XPEV and LI.

LI is a stock that has been beating earnings consistently, but expeng seems to be a bigger company and has better technical rating.

Looking at the situation, since it is market that determines which stock is better, so if the market says XPEV is better, technicallly. I chose XPEV, it seems emotional, but obeying the law of trading and my indicators is the best decision. So I bought XPEV, but will continue to monitor both to see if LI Will overtake XPEV in price appreciation.

And how do you thing I will feel about this decision? 8 am happy as I did not allow emotion to affect my decision. Also, China with all the Government support now in place, the Chinese stocks have a higher probability of performing better soonest.

Our indicators are super and we continue to improve on them.

BUY/SELL ON STOP ORDER TYPES
These are used to buy and sell automatically without the traders intervention once entered into the trading platform.

Sell stop: just simple stop order. You are telling the system to sell your stock once it falls below a particular price. This is for profit protection or limit our loss.

Buy stop: you are telling the plaform to buy a stock in the future when it break above a particular price (you as the trader don't need to sit in front of your computer, once the stock is above the stipulated price, the system will buy it for you without you as the trader doing anything) .

henrimoto:
Oga Yok! What percentage rate does Chaka charge for each buy and sell transactions ?

COMPARED WITH THE LIKES OF TROVE[/b]- CHAKA GIVES THE MOST REASONABLE COMMISSION RATE FOR A LOCAL PLATFORM

The commission rate is 1% to buy and 1% to sell. Looking at the fact that this is platform that has advance order capability (you can buy or sell on stop). The Commission is very very okay,[/b] especially looking at the operating business climate in Nigeria. I have no reason to complain.

Today, I forced myself or is it the fact that I have suffered losses before: I am obeying the rule of the gods of trading ( I think this is the 2nd time I will obey such rules, I decline to trade in front of big report, that is the inflation report tomorrow and also in front of the earnings report for GOTU. I feel so pleases with myself. My cash is lying in my account, to use after the July Core PCE report. I am feeling so happy. Why, I am happy is that there are over 8,000 stock I can still trade after CPE report!!! Also, the dollar and VIX are in downtrend or losing momentum, thus the market is still in uptrend or prospect for uptrend, so why do I have to worry (I do not promise myself to be a Warren Buffet, I follow my indicators avoiding Portholes in the word of Bosso, porthole refer to the retracement leg for a trend).

Wishing everybody longevity in this market. And you can only achieve longevity in the market by obeying simple rules (avoid big losses, don't front run earnings, avoid cheap stock below $1 they are always close to bankruptcy level/highly manipulated and[b] have a good technical indicator/subscription service).[/b]

CHAKA HAS ONE ADVANTAGE YOU CAN INVEST 0.01
Compared with other platforms, chaka allow you to trade with pennies, if you have 0.01 in your account. You are allowed to invest that amount. Thus you can buy 0.0006units of TESLA shares!!! if you have 0.01 in your account and the platform will execute transaction

MARKET IS TEMPTING TODAY ESPECIALLY CHINESE STOCKS

Our indicators are super, we pick necessary levels that can easily tell us when we are wrong and keep our stops small. Today we bought OPRA

We do not want to be greedy. We are risk conscious. We add more EXTR (Extere Network)

TODAY 29 AUG 2023- NO COMPLAIN IN THE MARKET

We are all happy today. Strong recovery. But let us remember that there is fear in the market and Thursday is the deciding point.

Tommorow's US GDP will just be a walkover. Negative or positive, seems not to matter much. But likely to be positive.
