If you are interested in local stocks, try to check local economic newspapers. You may also keep track of companies' stocks that you are interested in, or you think that their price might rise in the future. Besides, start looking for a broker, since you cannot buy or sell stocks by yourself. Truthfully, I started with re-searching what are stock exchange markets and how do they work. Later I started to monitor some companies and tried to predict their price per share. My advice to you read and research as much as possible about different Public Limited Companies.

To determine where it is best to invest money, you need to consider the main characteristics of stocks.
Trading stocks daily is fun thing to do if you are making money. but if you don't know what you are doing and you are losing money. Then daily stock trading is not for you. It's then better to embark on a long term stock buying and holding. A method that has proven profitable for years.
Day trading is the act of buying and selling a financial instrument within the same day or even multiple times over the course of a day. Taking advantage of small price moves can be a lucrative game—if it is played correctly. But it can be a dangerous game for newbies or anyone who doesn't adhere to a well-thought-out strategy.

U.S. stocks jumped for a second day as fears around a crisis in China’s property market eased somewhat and as the Federal Reserve kept current monetary stimulus in place for just a little bit longer.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 506 points, or 1.5%. The S&P 500 rose 1.3% and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1%.
Thursday morning gains pushed the Dow and S&P into the green for the week. They’re up 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively. The Nasdaq is down 0.1% for the week.
Salesforce led the index with a 5% gain after the cloud company raised its full-year 2022 revenue guidance. Darden Restaurants led the S&P, jumping more than 5% after reporting strong quarterly earnings.
Stocks linked to a global economic recovery were higher. General Electric shares added about 5%. Las Vegas Sands, which has big China exposure, rose 3%. Caterpillar added 2%. Energy stocks were also higher.
Bank stocks, which are typically viewed as cyclical stocks whose performance is tied to the path of the economy, rose as Treasury yields climbed higher. JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citibank added about 3%. Regional banks, which tend to trade closely along with the 10-year, like Regions and Fifth Third gained more than 4%.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index rebounded more than 1% from losses this week with China property developer Evergrande Group rallying more than 17%. On Wednesday, the company eased fears a bit by resolving payment on a local bond.
But global investors are still waiting on whether the company will pay $83 million in interest on a U.S. dollar-denominated bond due Thursday. Government regulators instructed Evergrande to avoid a near-term dollar bond default, Bloomberg News reported, citing a person familiar.
At the same time, Wall Street Journal reported early Thursday that the Chinese government is asking local authorities to prep for a “possible storm” if Evergrande fails. Some of Evergrande’s bondholders did not expect payment Thursday and had not heard from the company, Reuters reported.
Also on Thursday the Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims rose last week as the U.S. labor market continues its recovery from last year’s recession. There were 351,000 claims last week, topping estimates of 320,000. The reading for the week prior came in at 332,000.
Stocks finished higher across the board Wednesday after the Federal Reserve kept benchmark interest rates unchanged, while indicating no immediate intention of removing stimulus policies.
The Dow gained roughly 340 points, or 1%, for its first positive session in five and best day since July 20. The S&P advanced 0.95%, also snapping a four-day losing streak and registering its best day since July 23. The Nasdaq Composite finished the session 1.02% higher, while the Russell 2000 outperformed on the session, rising 1.48%.
“If progress continues broadly as expected, the Committee judges that a moderation in the pace of asset purchases may soon be warranted,” a statement from the Fed following the meeting read. No timeline was given, however.
The central bank implemented a $120 billion per month bond-buying program last year as the pandemic shuttered the economy. As economic conditions improve more members of the Federal Open Market Committee now see the first rate hike happening in 2022.
Stock picks and investing trends from CNBC Pro:
‘High growth, low risk, high quality’: Bank of America backs these global stocks
Retail investors are buying the September dip. Here’s what they are adding this week
Goldman predicts a surging semiconductor market, picks its top U.S. chip stocks
“The Fed struck a positive tone, acknowledging that the economy is strong enough to stand on its own two feet and the central bank can begin removing the monetary stimulus that they’ve been providing since the beginning of the Covid crisis,” said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance.
“Although there may be some additional turbulence this fall, we are constructive on the US economy in general and believe that any dips would be worth buying as the fundamentals are still sound and recession appears to be more than a year away at this point,” he added.
“We believe the S&P 500 has further room to run, but one of the biggest downside risks stems from valuations amid the prospect of higher yields/ERPs, less liquidity and slower growth,” UBS said in a recent note to clients.
Several companies are on deck for quarterly updates Thursday including Nike and Costco Wholesale, who will report once the market closes.

Today, January 12, 2022, another trading session has concluded on the Nigeria stock exchange and we have a list of top-performing stocks. The top gainers are, Academy stock up 10%, Jaizbank which is also up 10%, Unitybank is up 8.7%, and selling at N0.50 per share. Also, Sovrenins and Mbenefit are up 8.33% and 7.41 percent respectively.
Analysts maintain that the Nigerian stock market will continue its positive trend, as the market enters trading for the month of May and on the influx of better than expected first quarter (Q1) corporate earnings, as investors take advantage of the numbers to position.
Analysts Optimism
In the new week, analysts at Cowry Assets Management Limited expected the equities market index to rise further as investors buy more shares in anticipation for the Q1, 2022 companies release.
Analysts at Cordros Securities Limited said: “in the week ahead, we expect investors to continue to rotate their portfolios towards cyclical stocks that delivered decent earnings last week.
“Thus, we see scope for the bulls to maintain dominance, albeit the magnitude of the gains will be substantially lower, as profit takers are likely to cash out on the gains across bellwether stocks. Notwithstanding, we reiterate the need for positioning in only fundamentally sound stocks as the weak macro environment remains a significant headwind for corporate earnings.”
On market outlook, GTI Securities Limited said: “transactions on the market ended positively as the bullish trend persists, propelled by investors increased buying interest in both medium and large stocks and impressive Q1, 2022 results of some companies. We expect a continuity of this trend as the week rounds up for the Islamic break.”

Hadi Sirika, Nigeria's Minister of Aviation, has pleaded with Nigerian airlines to postpone their scheduled stoppage of operations on Monday due to the increase in aviation fuel prices from N190 to N700 per litre.
On Saturday, Mr. Sirika issued a statement through his Special Assistant on Public Affairs, James Odaudu.
According to the Nigerian News Agency (NAN), Nigerian airlines, under the banner of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), stated on Friday that they will cease operations on Monday due to the high cost of aviation fuel.
The minister encouraged the airlines to examine the impact of suspending operations on Nigerians and international travelers.
"The attention of the Minister of Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, has been drawn to this issue," he stated.
"This comes after airline operators threatened to suspend operations due to increased costs of Jet A1, often known as aviation fuel." As the ministry in charge of the industry, we are deeply worried about the airlines' challenges in obtaining aviation fuel, which has resulted in skyrocketing air transportation costs in the recent past.
We also recognize that airlines are in business to make money while serving a vital sector that is not just the preferred form of transportation for most Nigerians but also the country's principal foreign gateway.
Unfortunately, the ministry does not have jurisdiction over the issue of fuel delivery, so all it can do in the meantime is interact with agencies, institutions, and people in positions of power.
"This is for the benefit of the airlines." The necessary team, chaired by the minister, is already working on this."
In addition, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has urged airlines to postpone the planned service stoppage due to the negative impact on passengers and the related hardship.
