INVESTMENT BASICS
Are Penny Stocks a Viable Investment Option?
Penny stocks could be seen as sought-after investment opportunities or high-risk, no-go stocks, and that depends on the psychology and bent of the investor.

Yet, at the other extreme, are those who cannot stomach the risk and loss potentials of such stocks. In the face of these extreme positions, how should you view penny stocks as a possible investment option? This article is to weigh the issues and present factors that can help you take a position, especially in the Nigerian context. Continue reading here ... »

How 'Wonder Banks' Feed Fat on Investor Gullibility
N560.5 million is a staggering sum, by any account, especially when the context is the amount of loss suffered by hapless investors who got lured into bogus investment schemes run by the so-called 'wonder banks'. That would seem bizarre, even inconceivable, except that the reports published in the local media two days ago, attributed the disclosure to the Commissioner of Police in the Special Fraud Investigation Unit, Ikoyi, Mr Olayinka Balogun, who spoke to pressmen.

REITs as Important Vehicle for Real Estate Investment
One of the important investment questions we have sought to answer elsewhere on our website is the crucial issue of how small investors can access the real estate investment market.

INVESTMENT Q&A
Q. Open-ended and Close-ended Funds: What's the Difference?
A. Unit trusts (or mutual funds) could be open-ended or close-ended, and that basically refers to how the shares (that is, units) are issued and redeemed.

Often, this is an institutional fund manager. Examples of such funds in our market include ARM's Discovery Fund, IBTC Nigerian Equity Fund, CORAL Income Fund, UBA Equity Fund, etc. Continue reading here ... »

Stay-at-home Mom? Explore these Income Options
The challenge of running the home and bringing up children is a major one and often compels the difficult choice to leave one's job to stay home and face up to it. While mothers that stay home are contributing a lot of value that counts to a huge sum when quantified, such quantification will not bring out cash as that value remains notional.
