It’s good for focus..
You may have something like this,
-Stock below 20 naira- 50000-100000 units.
-Stock between 50-100 naira- 10-20k units
-Stocks between 100 naira-200 5K-10k units
-stocks above 500 naira, target 1000-5000
Start like this and be adjusting along the way.
This is solid advice and it actually has a name. Naira Cost Averaging.
Instead of rushing to buy GTCO because you saw dividend alerts on your timeline, just buy small amounts every month. Whatever you can afford. Some months you buy at N120, next month N110, next month N135. Over time your average price balances out. You never have to stress about buying at the wrong time.
But before you buy anything, do your research. Read the company's financial statements. Check if the company is making profit, if that profit is growing, and if they have a history of paying dividends. Don't buy a stock because someone on Twitter said so. Buy it because you looked at the numbers yourself and you understand what you're putting your money into.
For those of you with bigger capital to deploy, don't dump everything into one stock. Spread it across sectors. Some banking, some oil and gas, some consumer goods, some industrials. And keep a portion in fixed income like treasury bills or money market funds for stability. The goal is to build a portfolio that can survive a bad day in any one sector.
Now let me say a few things every beginner needs to hear.
Time in the market beats timing the market. Nobody knows the perfect day to buy. Nobody. But the person who stays invested for years always comes out ahead.
Know what you are before you enter. You are an investor, not a trader. Buy solid companies, hold, collect dividends, reinvest. Leave the chart watching to people who have trained for years to do it.
This market is not a get rich quick scheme. It goes up, it comes down. Last week GTCO dropped from N136 to N128. Zenith dropped 10% in one session. That's normal. If a dip like that makes you sell everything in panic, you're not ready.
Two things will destroy your money faster than any bad stock. FOMO, rushing to buy because everyone is posting screenshots. And panic selling, dumping your shares at a loss because the market dipped for two days.
Buy what you can afford. Do your homework. Stay consistent. Hold through the noise. Let time do the work. That's the whole game.
