It’s becoming clearer that NGX is coasting home to a positive return by year end though the return will still be negative in real and dollar terms
It is not uhuru yet. Analyst will come up with the few number of the universe of stocks that contributed this gain that was largely realised in Q4. The beauty about the Nigerian market is we still have decent dividend paying.stocks to provide returns to the investors to make a living. We expect Q1 and @2 to be tough next year but the dividend session will put smiles on the faces of investors
