Ok I am going to do a trend on apps you can use to invest.

I will only recommend what I use
First off, don’t invest in what you have no knowledge of, thus DO NOT buy shares without understanding how shares work, or where your returns come from.

I did a nice webinar on this. This is the YouTube link

 
To buy shares you need a traditional broker or a FINTECH app. Most brokers today also have online trading platforms. The Nigerian Stock Exchange publishes a list of active stockbrokers on their site.

ONLY TRADE WITH ACTIVE LICENSES

You can look through list and select a stockbroker. Look for customer service, and if you can trade remotely and all, since all your trades will be settled in same way to the CSCS

1. The price and the value of a stock are different

Price = how much you pay
Value = what stock is worth

Buy when Price < Value
Sell when Price > Value

The question in investing is determining the value

What is the value of a tree?

Fruits?
Cost of seed?
Value as firewood?
The price of a stock is forward looking.

It reflects the "vote" of investors. If investors believe the company will make more revenue and profit IN FUTURE, the price today will go up even if the company has no profits TODAY.

The stock market is a voting machine.
Over the long-term, the value of the company will reflect the earnings of the company.

Value and earning will correlate unless the company grows future revenues by

Acquisition
Internal reorganization to cut cost
External laws that favor company

This is Keith.

He was mastermind of that Gamestop short squeeze.

He has a CFA.

This is not some amateurs throwing darts on a stock table.... Image
This is Ryan

No, he is not a hedge fund guy Image
These are Richard and Brian

They bought 5% of Gamestop at $10 a share....made about $700m

Yes they are hedge fund guys....but they were buying Image

Wealth is many thing

It's location.
It's relationships
It's luck
Its hard work

Off all, the easiest is relationships I.e you marry or are born into wealth

Next? It's location

A 26 year old in America can buy a car and small house earning minimum wage with a high credit score
When he is 35, he can get married and either sell his small flat or rent it out, then buy a larger house using his small house as "equity"

He can buy a bigger car on a car note, if in an emergency or another opportunity opens, he can use his current home as cash collateral
Thus he builds buildstion-indexed wealth. As home value rises with inflation.

He can pay unexpected medical bills with his credit card. He finds a great house in Florida, buys with new loan.

When he retires at 65, he sells first home, moves to Florida.

With $500,000 no debt.

Some 2021goals

1. educate yourself on how money works.....read about money, investing, budgets, etc.

.
2. calculate how much cash you have to pay bills if you lose your job, get a figure in days/months. Have a plan to save/extend that figure as much as possible. for example, if you have just 1 week of "emergency funds" have a target to extend it to three months.
3. cut down on unnecessary spending, get a budget, stick to it.

4. Look for multiple sources of income, if you have 2 cars, start a private Uber, if you have a free boys quarters, rent it out, monetize your assets.

5.have zero debt

6. Earn foreign exchange, export something

If I borrow, I'm accountable to pay it back. Thus I am very careful when I take debt

If I am a CEO, and I borrow, it affects my Company profitability, thus I am responsible

If I borrow as an elected official, I am only responsible for a maximum of 8 years. important to note
Few nations do not borrow

Debt is simply upfront consumption. When you borrow, you are essentially saying you want to use future revenues today

Hence you create a vacuum of revenue in the future. The rationale is to borrow, create wealth today, cover future vacuum
Thus If you borrow today and invest in a non-income-generating activity, you leave that future income vacuum intact.

Hence the term ROI seeks to measure how much return any investment will accrue to cover future obligations

Chile is Capitalist ie free markets; target is equal opportunities

Venezuela is Socialist ie government controlled markets; target is equal outcomes

Chile is now richer than Venezuela who has probably the largest deposits of crude oil globally. Riches not based on crude oil.
NO government can create a job...ONLY the private sector can...all the government can do is redistribute .

Socialism has never made any nation rich, please note a capitalist nation can have an extensive social welfare programs eg Denmark, that does not make them Socialist.
"Socialist" government are governments that set prices eg for petrol, that own economic assets eg NNPC & even influence economic decisions like setting exchange rates for the economy.

The worst mixture is a Socialist government that is pursuing a welfare agenda like Venezuela
