I probably would have taken some profit early, but let the rest run. That’s the power of strategy and diversification.
It is a big deal oKnowing that a stock will pick is not a big deal. A lot of investors who understand business and investments know it would do well.
Thank God I made about 50% gain then and japaThat's another problem with some of all this stocks, using Geregu as example, I bought at 246 naria and can't sell them even at 1k per share
Not badI bought around #4 but I sold most of it above #70 to pay for my children school fees
Ohh, that's still a good some moneyBut still have some few units less than 5000units
True.This is one of the most remarkable compounding stories on the NGX.
I stand with you, sometimes we are advised to take some profitI would have held till today but I would have sold some shares.
That's massive, maybe only depend on dividendI have the nerve to hold a winner for over 6 years.
Absolutely. Don't sleep on virtual gainsI stand with you, sometimes we are advised to take some profit
Picking a good stocks and wait for the wonder to happen to your investmentWhat a transparent and powerful thread! @mtuns, selling at ₦70 to pay school fees is the ultimate 'Investment Success.' Wealth isn't just about the number on the screen; it’s about what that money does for your life. By taking profit there, you locked in a 1,650% gain—which is far higher than the 15.06% inflation we saw in today's NBS report. You used the 'Algebra of Wealth' to solve a real-world problem. To @Blessed Amara's point, holding the remaining 5,000 units is the perfect 'Moonbag' strategy—you've already won, now you're just playing with the market's money!
On Feb 19, 2020, shares of Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc were ₦2.78.
Today they’re ₦163.90.
That’s 58.96x growth.
A simple ₦2m investment → about ₦115.9m today.
Meanwhile, Someone staking ₦2k–₦5k on a 12-game accumulator every weekend, hoping one ticket will “blow.”
Different strategies. Different outcomes.
Real wealth usually comes from patience, knowledge, and discipline not odds.

True. That’s the essence of smart investing—turning market gains into real-life wins while keeping a portion for potential upside. Locking in profit for immediate needs and letting a small 'moonbag' ride is exactly how disciplined investors balance risk and reward.What a transparent and powerful thread! @mtuns, selling at ₦70 to pay school fees is the ultimate 'Investment Success.'
