Hahahahaha… Alarm Bells indeed. We know the current CRR crises is not responsible for this bad result bcoz this is a result of last year. And 2014 result could be worse for FIdelity if they dont tighten their belt properly. I sympathize with Fidelity share holders. For those who are looking for cheap stocks this is the best time to watch Fidelity to take advantage of it. In my own opinion anything more than 1.50 Naira for this stock is too priced to buy.
