Fantastic Storytelling to Multimillion Dollar Rewards

Dear Hollywood,

Hollywood has enjoyed decades of undeniable success. Actors and actresses are household names and the stories told are classics that have penetrated deep into our hearts. Hollywood seems to have lost the act of storytelling. This beauty has been replaced by big budget remakes of old classical movies. Every time you go back to tell a story, you say it differently and change a lot of things. This is getting very annoying! It makes me wonder if Hollywood has lost its creativity.

Well a piece of advice is to stop celebrating criminals and lousy celebrities at every chance you get and start telling biographical stories on true heroes and role models. A biography on Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, John D. Rockefeller just to mention a few could easily fetch over $100m each in revenues. Tell more true stories and less science fiction. It is awesome to stimulate our fantasy but it is more productive to educate our minds.

Brexit: Why the Market Got it Wrong

Dear Speculators, After 40 years of being in the European Union, the United Kingdom will no longer be a member nation of the EU after the exit plans have been finalized. The gloomy market prediction by top notch investors and analysts has now become a reality. The British pound has been "pounded" in the foreign exchange market, falling significantly against virtually every currency on earth. Pound sterling currently sits at a 30 year low against the dollar after shedding a record 11% in just one day. The equity market is a mess all over UK and Europe, banks have suffered the heaviest beating. $2 trillion has been wiped off global equities. At this point it will take a miracle and much more than $345b promised by the Central Bank to save the economy from entering a financial  recession by 2017. Several market players were positioned for a stay in accordance with the opinion polls on Brexit even when the polls showed that a vote to remain wasn't significantl...

ECOWAS: The Silent Opportunity of a Weaker Naira

Dear Speculators, The catastrophic collapse in the value of Naira in 2016 has brought more bad news than good news to Nigeria. This has come at a time when currency manipulation in Japan, China and Switzerland to purposely erode the value of their currency in order to gain trade advantages has angered many foreign governments especially America. Britain was lucky to have had the Pound devalued by the financial markets in the aftermath of the Brexit to the delight of the Bank of England whom like many other Central Banks in the western world are now inflation seekers. But not Nigeria, we don't need a weaker Naira, at least not now. Unfortunately, the drastic fall in the oil price, current account deficit, lower foreign external reserves and withdrawal of foreign investments from Nigeria has dragged the Naira about 58% lower since its January levels at the interbank market. This has almost doubled the rate of inflation in the last one year as imported products make up a si...

Do Not Buy a Depreciable Asset, Lease it!

Dear Speculators, We all need to buy some important assets during our lifetime. Sometimes when the need arises, we are without sufficient cash and we need to borrow to acquire such assets for example cars, gadgets, etc. Quantum leaps in technology have continued to make assets like phones, computers, television, internet data etc cheaper and better. As such it will be somewhat unwise to purchase an asset which will immediately start losing value by paying in installments or with a loan. In essence, you will be paying more for an asset which is losing value. You must note that when we purchase certain items like vehicles with a loan for personal use, it produces no returns for the owner but only yields personal satisfaction. These loans bear interest rates and since you will be paying more for the depreciable asset with borrowed capital, it simply means you are spending more to get the same satisfaction. This utility will fall gradually as the asset wears over time. Capital exp...
