If you’ve lost money in the NGX in the last few weeks, here’s what actually happened and still happening.
A lot of people walked into NGX market when it was already trading at a premium. At the top, after the rally had done the heavy lifting. This is the pattern, every single time.
Smart money enters early, quietly, before it’s a story.
Timelines fill up with green portfolio screenshots.
First time investors and the FOMO crowd piles in late, chasing highs.
By then, valuations are stretched, P/E’s are ahead of fundamentals, and the cheap entry is long gone.
Then market corrects. Early movers take profit. Late entrants panic sells or hold the bag.
If that’s you right now, staring at red, you didn’t necessarily pick bad stocks. You picked the wrong entry point. Those are two very different problems.
Don’t buy the noise. Buy the value. NGX will give you another entry point but the question is will recognize it when it comes?
Listen to Ibukun Awosika, she gave a perfect explanation of NGX market right now.
Watch till the end.

Addressing the Departure of Early Career Researchers in Canada: A Call to Action
The departure of early career researchers from Canada is a pressing concern, exacerbated by the challenges faced by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers living on stipends near the poverty line.
This critical issue demands immediate attention from a diverse array of stakeholders, including academics, government officials, Indigenous partners, think tanks, private sector organizations, not-for-profit organizations, and the public. The impacts of this brain drain are substantial, leading to a loss of intellectual capital, diminished research output, and a potential decline in Canada's global innovation standing.
Urgent action is essential to reverse this trend and strengthen Canada's position as a leader in research and innovation. While existing schemes, including the NSERC and Mitacs, have made valuable contributions, these initiatives face challenges due to the current landscape of inflation and rising living costs, necessitating a comprehensive and innovative policy response.
To address this multifaceted issue, a collaborative approach is crucial. Stakeholders must work together to develop and implement sustainable solutions that not only retain early career researchers but also create an environment conducive to their growth and success. By doing so, Canada can secure its standing in the global research community and foster a thriving ecosystem for innovation and intellectual advancement.
To address the inadequacy of existing scholarships, especially the limited availability of prestigious awards such as Banting and Vanier fellowships for graduate students and postdocs, there is a need for a new policy that offers competitive funding, increasing the number of graduate students and postdocs benefiting by 50% compared to other funding sources. Currently, only around 0.7% of postdocs receive Banting, with a mere 0.007% obtaining Vanier. This highlights the considerable gap in these scholarships in meeting the needs of the majority of trainees.
While both Banting and Vanier are considerably sufficient in terms of pay compared to other countries like South Korea, Germany, and the USA, they still fall short in addressing a significant portion of trainees.
