Dialectic Africa Analyst

Dear Africa interested individuals:                                                         I will keep this one short.  On May 3, 2016 ( search May archive on this blog for Forte Oil ) I published my view that Forte Oil was expensive and deserved to fall to around N150.00 .  Ten weeks later, on July 13, 2016, Forte Oil fell to N155.75 exactly as I predicted, despite persistent support at the N190.00 level prior to that.  The article on May 3, 2016 will lead you into another article published in February 2016.  Current feelers are that it is now on the rise today after falling into the N150.00 level I determined is its logical (natural) rebound price.  All my assertions are still available for viewing to verify.   While I have always intended to make this blog not be about buying and selling, I will not hesitate to stick out my neck every now and then to showcase my abilities.   Buy-side research is its own boss; you do NOT need a fellow human being to validate your abil

Dear All:                 This unique blog is now one year old and has over 100 articles.  Seems like just yesterday I kicked off as a hobby.  I have provided a few stock picks, helped people avoid expected losses, talked about African economies and where the bright lights and challenges are.  I have talked about what some companies need to do to improve their fortunes and exposed companies not being transparent about their financial performances where applicable.  I have talked about Africa in the context of power, energy, commodities, agriculture, infrastructure, currency depreciation, GDP growth and stock exchanges.  Most importantly, I have been loyal to the TRUTH without fear or favor .   I sincerely hope the continent improves and this starts with people in decision making positions being selfless and not selfish.  Unfortunately this has been the bane of Africa courtesy of its rulers and corporate oligarchs.   The donate button is visible on desktops and tablets at
