Nigerian stock exchange Lagos Nigeria - Nigeria stock exchange is among the most active stock market in the world. Millions of dollars are made daily from the stock market. And there are millions more waiting to be made. Where are you in all of this? Grab your share!
Honestly,the Nigeria stock market has confounded many market watchers in Nigeria and the world. Most people do not understand how someone who is near broke today can become a millionaire in just a few months. How does this happen? Is the Nigerian stock market a magical haven?
It's great to ask those questions about the Nigerian stock exchange because it demonstrates that you really want to know.
First, let me assure that there is nothing magical about the Nigerian stock exchange. It's a buying and selling market like any other market. And yes, you can make over a hundred percent return on investment in six months to one year if you pitch your tenth with the right stock and the right company.
I have seen live examples, real people, in Nigeria who have made over a hundred percent return on their stock market investment within eight months.
Over a hundred percent! Incredible about stock exchange in Nigeria!
Yes, it is incredible. In fact, it is almost unbelievable. But it is true.
There are very very few stock exchanges in the world where this can happen. But it's happening in Nigeria! This is the real deal!
A word of caution about stock exchange in Nigeria
Yes, a good number of people have made return on investment of hundred percent and even above in some instances in the Nigeria stock market. But that is not the norm.
Unfortunately, when many Nigerians heard that some of their country men have made a killing from the stock market, they jumped into the market in droves. Some even went to their banks to take huge loans to fund huge investment in stocks. They invested and sat back to reap the expected mind-blowing return on their investment.
Sadly, many folks ran into a huge loss instead. What accounted for this?
There are a number of reasons for loss in stock exchange in Nigeria
# Some invested in a hurry in the wrong stocks
# Some were ill-advised by laymen-turned-experts because they blindly bought stocks that happily gave them good return over the short time they invested
# Some were ill-advised by over-enthusiastic stock brokers who were over-excited by the sudden boom of the Nigerian stock market and
# Some invested without consultation with experienced stock market analysts due to over-optimism and the euphoria of seeing their friends make big money with little work done
The end resul of stock exchange in Nigeriat
Flood of tears as Nigerians and other foreigners who invested in the stock exchange saw their stock crash almost irreversibly.
Bottom line on stock exchange in Nigeria
Many folks ended up in debt because of over-optimism about the potentials of the Nigerian stock market to deliver instant riches. Unfortunately, the huge losses incurred by many, especially short-term investors, has once again slowed down activities in the Nigeria stock market.
But as always, the market will bounce back again when people finish licking their wounds.
The lesson on stock exchange in Nigeria
Don't invest blindly. Talk to experienced investors and experienced Nigerian stock exchange brokers before deciding where to invest. If you invest right, you will reap long-term benefits.
On the bright side of the stock exchange in Nigeria
Many Nigerians have abandoned the Nigerian stock exchange because of the current uncertainties.
Guess what,they have all shifted to investing in Nigeria real estate enmass once again. This is good news for Nigeria real estate agents. Right now, business is good because Nigerians are justling to acquire more properties as their cash flow improve. With each sale comes more commission for the Nigeria real estate agent.
Another lesson.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your investment. Broaden the scope of your investment portfolio. When you do, you spread your risk.

iPhoto editing tips,iPhoto applications usuage
iPhoto:if you are overwhelmed by the sprawling features of Photoshop or another high-powered editing application, iPhoto offers simple yet effective editing tools for amateur photographers. In fact, performing edits in iPhoto can be as simple as pressing a single button. Don't be afraid to get in there and experiment; iPhoto editing is nondestructive, meaning that you can always return a photo to its original, unedited state of iPhoto.
1: Wave the magic wand of iPhoto
The quickest way to fix a photo is to hit the Enhance button. Simply highlight a photo you'd like to edit and click the Edit button in the lower-right corner of iPhoto. It will call up the edit panel to the right of the photo. At the top of the edit panel you'll see three tabs: Quick Fix, Effects, and Adjust. Among the Quick Fix tools for rotating, straightening, cropping, and retouching your photo is the magic Enhance button. Click it and your photo will likely improve on iPhoto.
To get started, highlight a photo and click Edit in the lower-right corner.
If you click on the Adjust tab of iPhoto,you can see which sliders moved. By default, they are set at 0, with the exception of the Saturation slider, which is set at 50. In most cases, I find that Exposure and Saturation get bumped up, along with Shadows occasionally. By taking a look to see how the Enhance tool changes your photos, you can begin to understand the effects of the various sliders and can start manually editing your photos for finer editing control. You can also adjust the sliders after using the Enhance tool to make minor tweaks on iPhoto.
The Enhance button provides one-click editing and does a good job of improving photos. Also, it's just as easy to undo the effects of the Enhance button of iPhoto.
2: Shift to see original
If you aren't sure if the edits you've made to an image have improved it, hold down the shift key to see the original. It allows you to quickly toggle between the original image and the edited version, helping you determine which version looks better. If you don't like the way your edits are going, simple hit the Revert to Original button at the bottom of the edit pane. It's visible from any of the three edit tabs. Next to it is an Undo button, which lets you erase the last edit you performed, keeping any previous tweaks you might have made on iPhoto.
3: Edit in full screen, with multiple photos side by side
The full-screen command isn't just useful when viewing photos; you can also edit in full-screen mode. To view in full screen, click on the Full Screen button in the lower-left corner of iPhoto, or use the keyboard shortcut Command-Option-F. To exit, hit the Full Screen button again or press the Esc key.
You can edit multiple images side by side. Using full-screen mode, pictured here, to do so gives you a larger view of your images in the iPhoto editor environment.
If you have a batch of photos to edit before, say, printing or uploading to an online album, you can edit multiple photos side by side. Highlight two or more photos and then click Edit. All of the photos will be placed side by side in edit mode. I haven't found a way to highlight all of them to perform the same edit simultaneously on a batch of photos, such as the Enhance function, for instance. You can cycle through photos from your library in each spot, however, by pressing the arrow keys.
4:Zoom for greater control
Some edits, such as fixing red eye or retouching blemishes, require greater control. To zoom in on an image, press the 1 key to magnify by 100 percent or the 2 key to magnify by 200 percent. It will zoom in on the part of the image where the cursor is located, and a small navigation window also pops up, letting you easily move to the section of the photo you'd like to touch up.
If you choose to fix red-eye or retouch an image, you'll see a circle that you can move over the trouble spot. You can resize this edit circle with the slider in the edit pane or by using the bracket keys.
5: Protect your skin in iPhoto editor environment
As you gain confidence in making edits in iPhoto, you might find you are using the Enhance button less and using the various sliders on the Adjust tab more. The Saturation slider is a powerful tool; it can really make images pop as you saturate colors. Fans of super-saturated images from iPhoto apps Hipstamatic and Instragram will likely gravitate toward this tool. If you use the Saturation slider, be sure to check the box underneath it, labeled Avoid saturating skin tones. This will keep skin tones more natural looking as you over-saturate a photo, which can help create some unique shots without the person in them appearing radioactive.
Check the Avoid saturating skin tones box to keep skin tones natural while adjusting the saturation of an image.
