After this time, price begins to slow down, those who has been sitting on the sidelines see this as buying opportunity and they jump in en masse.As this is ongoing, prices make a last parabolic move known as sell climax in technical analysis; this is where the largest gains often occur in the shortest period.  Investdata Academy

This is the phase that follows the accumulation phase. One of the ways to know this phase is becoming evident is to see a stock or sector that has "broken out " of its neutral range. Right from here an obvious increase in volume should be seen. At this point, most institutional investors and individual investors who are aware of this early trend jump on board bringing along a significant buying power. Another way of knowing this trend is here, is to start seeing stock setting a higher lows and a higher highs, gaining volume and frequently testing key levels of resistance as it essentially marking the end of the battle between the bulls and the bears, with the bulls prevailing. At this point, the previously dull stock becomes attractive to all investors looking to profit from the upward momentum. Towards the end of the mark-up phase, a full market participation will be seen whereby everyone will likely to have made an investment. This paves the way for the next wave 🌊.

These days, it is no longer enough to argue that enterprise companies are too big to bother with social media. Remember this Sales 101 basic: be where your market is. Right now, they are online. The numbers are daunting. Of the 7.3 billion global population as of July 2015, more than 3 billion use the internet. Of these, more than two thirds are on social media. Facebook has more than 1.7 billion users; LinkedIn has 450 million. Plus, more than 90 percent of brands are on at least two social media platforms. It’s not just the wide use of social media that drives companies to explore social selling possibilities. According to a May 2017 Forrester Consulting survey (done for Hootsuite), there is a general discontent with how typical salespeople conduct selling. A majority of the respondents believe that salespeople come to the table with an agenda, regardless of its fit as the solution to the customer’s problems. The internet – and to a good degree, social media – empowers buye

We are living in exciting and innovative times with futuristic technology literally at our fingertips. But for the longest time, small to medium sized businesses were not serviced by the latest tech trends enterprises have been able to benefit from. That is, until now. In this article, we’ll explore these technology trends and how they will impact business in 2018 and beyond. So, what kind of things can this ‘smart’ tech do? Just 4 months ago, an AI machine managed to complete a University level math exam 12 times faster than it normally takes the average human.  How? Through the art of machine learning; where computers learn and adapt through experience without explicitly being programmed. Furthermore, Facebook made headlines earlier this year when their chatbots created their own language. Some Fake News stories say that the engineer’s pulled the plug in a panic after they were getting too smart. However, the truth is that for Facebook’s purposes the chatbots needed to stick t

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on Tuesday concluded the two-day meeting of its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) and besides the majority of members voting to once again retain the benchmark rates, two critical sectors- manufacturing and agriculture were singled out for friendlier credit terms. A major highpoint of the meeting was the argument seeking to promote increased bank lending to the real sector of the economy as a way of enhancing job-led economic growth as a way of consolidating economic recovery. While acknowledging the difficulty in encouraging job creation in an environment with deficit infrastructure, the committee members agreed on the need for companies operating within both sectors tagged “employment elastic sectors of the Nigerian economy,” to get bank credits at 9%, minimum tenor of seven years, with a two-year moratorium. Noting the need for the CBN to continue encouraging deposit money banks (DMBs) to increase the flow of credit to the real economy, th

Market activities on stock market oscillate in four or five distinct phases namely the accumulation phase, the mark-up phase, the greed/late majority phase, the distribution phase and the mark-down/declining phase. Today, we shall be discussing the accumulation phase which is the first among all. Accumulation phase is a phase when the experienced traders and investors begin to buy having seen the market has bottomed or the worst is over. Meanwhile, the general market sentiment is still bearish and those who were long in their position feel disgusted or impatient holding the stocks by selling them. Prices flatten in this phase and for every seller throwing in the towel, someone is there to pick it up at a discount. Accumulation phase often falls into the end of a downtrend where ordinary investors believe that more bearishness is likely and their overall outlook is pessimistic. Eventually market sentiment begins to switch from negative to neutral thereby locking the pessimist

The Only Security you will Ever Have... “The only real security you’ll ever have is your personal ability to produce.” Note what does NOT offer real security: Not your bank account. Not your job or job title. Not your title or position Real security depends on your ability to produce. So you need to guard that ability with all the feverous intensity you can muster. If you can’t, or won’t, put a fortress around the two things upon which productivity depends – your mind and your time – pretty much nothing else is going to matter. Sadly, for 99% of humanity real productivity is an ongoing exercise in futility or self-delusion. But it doesn’t have to be that way for YOU. Because you can have immediate access to the strategies, tools, and systems I’ve developed and used for over one and a half decades in stock business…. my personal “Comprehensive Toolbox Summit for the rest of 2018” for Stock Forecasting, Zero Risk, High Margins, financial autonomy, and wealth attrac

Accrued expenses are expenses that are incurred, but for which payment has not been made, during a given accounting period. Accrued expenses are indicated on the balance sheet as a current (short term) liability, and are usually recorded in a journal entry, as well as offsetting liability. Without a journal entry, the expenses would not appear in the entity's financial statements in the period incurred which will result in high profit yield for the period. Expenses which are commonly accrued are interest on loans, wages,salaries,utility costs, services received and taxes all for which payments have not yet been made or their invoice have not yet been received. For example: A company borrowed 2 million naira on November 1st, the agreement requires that an interest of 3% be paid on this 2 million naira at the end of 3 months which will elapse by January 31, for a company whose financial year end is December 31. Going by this development it will be very impossible for this comp

Market Update for Week Ended July 20 and Outlook for July 23-27 The continued selloff on the Nigerian Stock Exchange continued for the third successive week in this second half of 2018, reflecting the continued cautious trading even at the peak of the Q2 earnings season which is being fueled substantially by uncertainties surrounding the 2019 general elections. The Q2 numbers released so far has been mixed with the figures released by the likes of Transnational Corporation of Nigeria, Ecobank Transnational Incorporated, Wema Bank and Unilever beating expectations. Others came below market estimates, as they were poor, even as they revealed the negative impact of the economic slowdown in the first half of 2018. We believe investors had significantly priced the various earnings expectation into trading decisions made in the period, leading up to the earnings season. This may have accounted for the somewhat muted impact on market performance as capital outflows and reversed the h
