Orangefox you sound very uneducated the way you analyse risk...firstly the fact that you compare the risk associated with buying equity in a publicly traded company and the risk associated with funds invested in the product of a privately held company alone assures me that you are NOT to be taken seriously

Ok, your view

sure right selling cigarettes is big profits just like cocaine without the risk of jail.

maybe you should check some of the earlier threads(2-3) years ago where myself and others have posted about local stock market......

You should not take things to heart so passionately even if you are a ghl employee,
even if you do that is fine but no need to get your panties in a bunch.

look at the big picture,
surely even mr. lok jack does not have all his money invested in ghl...

Well selling a legal addictive product is a great business so you might be right

Which do you think more likely witco hitting 230 or GHL hitting 26?.....

Whats the book value on WITCO? vs where the stock price is?(I haven't checked)
GHL is a $12 book. and a 13.5 stock price.

wow-that response is from what?
Standard 3??

Instead of worrying about me -substantiate what you have said in your posts.

lemme help you

Longterm investment in tangible assets such as real estate & precious metals is always the better way to go, since these allow investors to have a better investment rate of return, and earn substantially more on their investment than the pittance those insurance companies would ever offer.

Start with that.
Because it is wrong at a basic level.
Shouldnt prove too hard for an intellectual titan like yourself.

[kjaglal76v2]

allyuh kill the argument nah

lewwe get bk to the topic, anymore suggestions??

[pugboy]

Invest in oneself, learn a skill you can do part time to earn some money on the side
Eg cupcakes or some niche

[nightrider]

Build low cost apartments and rent out to foreigners or foreign locals short term

[gt4tified]

There is always an inverse relationship between ‘safe’ investments and investments with greater yield. Personally, I don’t believe in ‘money in de bank’, unless its a traded foreign currency. Mutual funds disgust me, given the stupidly dotish return on investment that the local ones currently offer...I recently saw one that was boasting about a 0.9% third quarter yield, I just smh. However, mutual funds are relatively safe.

Redman, silver and gold are not the only precious metals...just saying.

OP, aside from precious metals, you should get in touch with a broker and look into T-Bills...if you feel a bit more adventurous, look into Futures Options. I dabble in Binary, but would not recommend it for the impatient or novice trader.

Seeing as oil prices dropping and everyone predicting hard times, you all still think local stock market is a viable investment?

Very much so our market is very stable and doesn't respond much to economic pressure...remember most of the players on our market are institutional investors who play for the long run. Aggressive trading is what drives prices down.

Depends on what you feel is the outlook for the Real Estate market and the business rental market. Those 2 factors will also be additional influence to the demand/supply of the stock...this tends to keep the market stable...until some one yells fire.

If you feel values/rentals will be stable or move higher then you should buy.

and vice versa...

What this is is yet another instance when the huge real estate players want to exit the market....selling might be expensive and a long process...so they might as well create an IPO and sell it to investors.
Once the IPO is concluded the shareholders eat the fluctuations.

I would strongly recommend that you look at the Praetorian fund as an example.

So they are selling 15% of the company to make it debt free-cept for the FI notes-This largely benefits the share holders -85% is retained.

So share holders are getting 15% ownership to payoff debt that equates to 43% of the market value of the portfolio.



IMHO
This is a great deal

for the existing shareholders.

[DVSTT]

What's going on with Phoenix park's IPO?

Also, what would you advise in terms of long term investments? I've been looking at maritime Financial's five year fixed deposit which is currently at 2.55% compound ed for the five years as I already have small investments there.

[francis1979]

Stock or similar money market will be the best if :
1) no immediate use for the money(+ 2-3 years)
2) have a sufficient emergency savings in the event of loss work , medical , etc.
3) can withstand the risk of sticks and fluctuations

Unit trust growth and income fund is nice since they guarantee your principal after 3 years.

Note: thing to note with those funds / stocks is commissions and management fees

[jusjase44]

Give me yuh $$$, I will give u 5%, 2 years minimum

[Redman]

It was chit...

[DVSTT]

[DVSTT]
