Forte Oil: Bulls eye on premise...

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 abilities.  The market will not hesitate to do that time after time without any prejudice.  The best part of this is when you go against the grain and stand with your conviction and get it right...  I am taking a bow.  Have a nice day.  I will do the same.

Unemployment rate in Nigeria: Playing with figures

Dear Africa interested individuals:                                                         There are three major macroeconomic indicators globally: GDP/GDP growth, inflation (CPI) and unemployment rate.  Whenever a country's number is called, these are typically the first three indicators that are looked at before other indicators like balance of payments etc.  Nigeria's unemployment rate computation methodology was recently revised.  Before now, anybody employed must work for at least forty (40) hours before they are considered employed.  Any individual who works less than forty (40) hours is deemed to be unemployed as the natural assumption is that an individual's inability to work a forty hour work week was involuntary.   Nigeria has now made a significant adjustment to unemployment computation.  An individual that works a twenty (20) hour work week is now deemed to be employed and not unemployed for the purposes of national unemployment computation.  This signi

The clamor for continued devaluation of African currencies reeks more and more of selfish interests

Dear Africa Interested Individuals:                                                         The clamor continues for commodities export dependent (especially oil) economies to further devalue their currencies.  I keep asking myself "when is enough finally enough?"  The clamor is largely driven by global economists across the spectrum loyal to economic theory and the countries they are domiciled in, portfolio managers and large commercial banks in the countries of focus with net positive (more dollar inflows expected than dollar outflows) dollar exposures.   What does devaluation do to the people in the countries that have devalued their currencies multiple times (or one devaluation of 20% or more) over a short period? 1. Inflation rises quickly and is driven by those directly and indirectly impacted which is everybody .   2. Chances are high that the Central Bank (Fed in the USA) will have to raise interest rates to stem inflationary pressures in the economy. T

How to suppress dollar demand in Nigeria: A quick introspection

Dear Africa interested individuals:                                                              Dollar demand continues to rise in Nigeria where Naira is the official currency.  How can Nigeria suppress the demand for dollar and quickly?  It should be clear by now to all that the Naira has limited use because most of the things Nigerians desire must be manufactured outside Nigeria for the product to be considered real and worthy of purchase by consumers in Africa's most populated country. This widely held purchasing character of the Nigerian consumer, has led to a continuous and ever increasing demand for the dollar by manufacturers, to purchase raw materials and finished goods for an ever increasing population.  This leads me into the probable solutions necessary to reduce dollar demand by Nigerians. 1. The Naira has to be made more attractive as a currency to hold.  This will encourage those who are hoarding dollars for speculative and legitimate reasons to sell t
