So who is dumping?

With the share price shedding further value despite this large volume it suggest a major investor is exiting. We opine these volumes are perhaps a result of a foreign portfolio investor exiting positions with either a market maker or a proxy mopping up the shares.

Outlook for the share price based on technical analysis also suggest further bearishness for the stock. However, in terms of fundamentals and on the back of its Q1 result the shares at any price under N7 looks attractive for a long term investor.

    If Access banks maintains prices below 5.18 Naira, expect more bearish moves. But this will present a buy opportunity for investors looking long term.

    Mr. Ugoo, help me figure this out, if i invest 300,000k in a money market fund with a %yield of 13.63, for 3 months, how much will be the ROI?or what will be my returns. I want to be sure. thanks

      Hi Ken, I am assuming the 13.63% is per annum. As such, the ROI will be N10,222.5 by my calculation. 13.63% of N300,000 is N40,890 for one year. However, you are investing for 3 months. So you have to divide the interest by 4 to get the interest per quarter. That is how I arrived at the N10,222.5.
