BEST STOCKS TO BUY IN NIGERIAN STOCK EXCHANGE
According to Investopedia, stocks are fractional pieces of publicly traded companies. If you own a company’s stock, you own a piece of that company. Furthermore, Stock exchanges are strategic marketplaces for the trading of stocks. They enable investors to buy and sell company shares in a controlled physical or electronic environment. The exchange operates as an auction, with traders who feel a company will do well bidding up the price and those who believe it will do poorly bid down the price.
Stock refers to the total number of shares held by a single shareholder in the financial realm. The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), presently known as the Nigerian Exchange Group, was established in 1961 as the Lagos Stock Exchange. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria regulates the stock exchange, and it is the only one in charge of it in Nigeria. The 176 listed companies registered within the NSE are open to both nationals and foreigners.
The Lagos Stock Exchange, the forerunner of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, was established on September 15, 1960. The London Stock Exchange (LSE) first opened for business on August 25, 1961, with 19 equities registered for trading. In June of that year, informal activities had begun a few months earlier.
Initially, the operations were carried out in the Central Bank Building on Lagos Island. The Stock Exchange had four market dealers at the time: Inlaks, John Holt, C.T. Bowring, and ICON (Investment Company of Nigeria). The volume for August 1961 was anticipated to be £80,500, rising to £250,000 later. The majority of these investments were made in government bonds.
The Lagos Stock Exchange was renamed the Nigerian Stock Exchange in December 1977, and several branches were established in the country’s major economic centers, the NSE now has thirteen branches in the states of Abuja, Kaduna, Port Harcourt, Kano, Onitsha, Ibadan, Yola, Benin, Uyo, Ilorin, Abeokuta, Owerri, and Bauchi.
The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates the NSE and is active in its surveillance to prevent market rule violations as well as to detect and prevent unfair manipulations and trading practices.
In general, data about the stock exchange’s listed companies’ performance is provided daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually.
