E-payment: Is It For You?
|
 Nigerians love to see their cash. A cash transaction, even if it involves large sums of money, is often preferred to other forms of transaction. It is not unusual for the average businessperson to carry a million naira or two in a Ghana-must-go (a big polythene bag) to effect a transaction, the risks and associated problems notwithstanding. As one commentator puts it: Nigerians “love the smell and feel of their money.” However, this attitude is gradually changing with the introduction of electronic form of payment. |

It is difficult to keep to a budget these days with inflation on the loose, shooting up prices of goods and services; the kids' school fees rising with each term, prices of foodstuff, petrol/diesel perpetually up, and your mechanic charging more for each service. |

|

It normally starts with a genuine bull market that then spirals out of control, as greed becomes the primary sentiment of the market.

Surprisingly, despite millions of investors being caught out and losing money in a bubble time and again, market bubbles are quite easy to recognise. |

Are Bank Stocks Overpriced
|
 Last year the All Share Index and Market Capitalisation of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) attained new heights, with NSE achieving over 70% growth, driven mainly by the banking sector. Gains were driven by easy money and the consolidation of the sector, which has had a positive impact on performance. This drew new players into the market (domestic and overseas entrants) to the point where the equities market now occupies a large share of the public consciousness. |
