I was going over some of my past posts like 'Not taking Risk is Risky' and cannot but agree with the points I raised there. I have risen and sunk terribly in this investment world and is the wiser for it. Now I have around me very credible and successful mentors and have learnt real investment demands serious patience. Although I have stopped HYIP completely, the experiences I got there was still proving useful. Also, I am yet to make any profitable chunk in forex as I am still in training after my attempted walk on the seas.....

Patience was one thing I didn't court very well. I am now very cautious and patient in taking any move, and has been the better for it. I am also prepared to explore the real source of lasting wealth which is profiting from my profit by compounding. That's patience all-over again.

With patience, and proper education, know what you need to do and do it. (Johny Walker.....)

Nigerian Bloggers' Conference

I attended the Nigerian Bloggers' Conference convened by Adeolu Akinyemi today at the Banquet Hall of Elomaz Hotel, Maryland, Lagos. I heard about it through 'Deolu's blog and registered on Facebook.

Though the Conference was really like a discussion and prelude to having a real conference maybe next year, it was a very interesting forum. I met many of like minds at their different stages of blogging experience. I realized my blogging challenges are purely common to many others as well. I was therefore recharged, motivated and further inspired to keep doing what I should do to become what I wish it should become.

Although I had earlier resolved to post regularly, I still reneged. The conference should help to keep me in focus now.

Please visit the page on facebook in above links and get to know many other interesting blogs by Nigerians.

This is not 'wealth online' topic, but who knows................

Trading in Global Stocks

Forex trading caught like wild fire to many young Nigerians as a great online opportunity of making money.  I am a trader, and must say asides the eye-catching and unrealistic 'Make $1,000 daily Trading Forex!!' captions of hungry trainers (and not traders) the experience has been good.

 

Lately, nigerians gained the opportunity to trade global stocks as well through the exclusive partnership with a US broker by a local firm.

NNC reduced membership fee

The New Nigeria Club NNC has reduced its membership fee to just =N=10,000.  This is really a great way to bring in more members to meet the target of having one million members before the end of the year.  It is also a great incentive to join right away to take advantage of the member benefits.

 

What is New Nigeria Club ?  It is a club of young Nigerians and friends of Nigeria that believe that this country is destined for greatness and is positively working towards making it a reality.  There are deals giving members access to exclusive great discounts and other opportunities open to members only.  Let me mention some I have personally benefitted:

1.  Purchased 5 plots of land at Ofada at =N=324k instead of market price of =N=350k in December 2007 saving =N=26k on each.   Each plot is now worth =N=800k

2.  Purchased Starcomms EVDO Internet Card at just =N=10k instead of market price of =N=26k.  I also pay only =N=12.5k monthly as subscription as against =N=16k for direct purchase from Starcomms.

3.  Purchased some private placement units of TradeNSE exclusive to NewNaijaClub members.

 

There are very many others I 'missed' or did not have the financials to take its advantage or just plainly allowed to go or is presently not in a position to benefit (e.g 5% discount on all VirginNigeria flights).

 

Member benefits are awesome!  Join now at http://newnigeriaclub.net/member_register-fosters.htm or just read through at http://newnigeriaclub.net (my username is 'fosters' if required for any page)

New Time Resolution

I had been busy.

Ok, let me say the truth: I had been lazy all these while. Admittedly. Or rather I have not considered regularly updating this blog part of my priorities. But this will change now. I will put up the right atittude and do what I have to do.

I included the New Nigeria Club in the list of MLM and Discount Clubs. It is purely both in a great way and open to all Nigerians and friends of Nigeria. The NNC negotiates for discounts in deals on behalf of members using member number strength to get us good cut-offs. It also has a board contest to compesate those that market the ideology religiously. Please have a look and let me have your comments/questions

Overview of HYIP programs I did in 2007

Here is the list of HYIPs I registered for last year:
1. United Private http://www.unitedprivateinvestmententerprise.com
2. CEP http://www.colonendparenthesis.net
3. A3 Union http://a3union.com
4. Open Trade https://www.opentrade.net
I invested in all except A3 union and as of today, only Open Trade is still operating of the lot (and is even shaky now). I was able to make my money back from each before they closed and even had profits too. That's the due diligence I mentioned at the beginning of last year in my post HYIP

Here is my conclusion: Tread with caution on HYIP, invest as minimal as possible, spread your fund between 5 - 10 programs.

It may be good to know also that your hunch plays a part too (LOL) I have friends who are into HYIPs too making it very well, while others are losing, and some are not even touching it at all. Same goes for MLM and others. If your inner mind don't agree with it, don't do it.

For me personally, I am watching things ..... and keeping my fund to myself for now.
