It began as the Lagos Stock Exchange in 1961 but was renamed to the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 1997. Today, the stock exchange is one of the most developed stock exchanges in Africa as there are over 160 companies listed on the Nigerian stock exchange market.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Stock_Trading_Works\"><\/span>How Stock Trading Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stock trading involves the frequent purchasing and selling of stocks to make a profit. If you accumulate the stocks for an extended period is stock investing. A <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/how-to-make-money-online-from-crypto-day-trading\">day trader<\/a> generally buys and sells stocks the same day. Broadly speaking, companies are only allowed to trade publicly on a stock exchange if they are public companies. As such, the general public and outside investors can invest in them.<\/p>\n<p>Companies can use this method to raise capital to expand their business or raise capital for a public offering. In most instances, new companies must first register with an exchange through an <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/what-is-an-ipo-an-overview-of-how-crypto-firms-can-go-public\">Initial Public Offering (IPO)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Notably, the most common ways to earn income as an investor are through dividends from a company or predicting on share value such as day trading or value investing on the stock exchange.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_To_Invest_In_The_Nigeria_Stock_Exchange\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steps To Invest In The Nigeria Stock Exchange<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Research_And_Choose_Your_Preferred_Stockbroker\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Research And Choose Your Preferred Stockbroker<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A stockbroker is an appointed agent who is authorized to execute, buy or sell instructions on an investor\u2019s account. In the Nigerian stock market, a stockbroker is a broker-dealing firm that is a member of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and is registered with Nigeria\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are over 100 stockbroking firms in Nigeria. So when choosing a stockbroker, you must consider critical factors such as ease of access, affordability (because some firms place a minimum amount for account opening), integrity\/reputation, and status with the NSE\/SEC. It is imperative for you to confirm the stockbroker\u2019s status with the NSE and the SEC before opting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Open_An_Account_On_The_CSCS_Central_Security_Clearing_System\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Open An Account On The CSCS (Central Security Clearing System)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All investors have to be registered on the CSCS to participate in the NSE. CSCS is an associate company of the NSE. This system is an electronic database that records ownership of Nigerian securities. During registration, the system assigns you an account number that will be attributed to every stock trade you execute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your stockbroking firm facilitates the opening of an account on the CSCS. You can do so by registering with a stockbroker, as clients must fill out the registration form issued by the broker (either online or manually) and provide <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/what-is-kyc-and-why-do-crypto-exchanges-require-it\">KYC (know your customer)<\/a> documents. These are means of identification, proof of residential address, passport photograph, and electronic signature (if filling out online).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Fund_Your_Account_And_Trade\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Fund Your Account And Trade<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this step, your stockbroker will provide you with their bank account details, and they will fund your account as soon as the payment you make is confirmed. This enables investors to trade on the floor of the Nigeria Stock Exchange only through stockbrokers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, trade instructions can be obtained through traditional order papers (sent by email, fax, or courier) or online trading platforms. It should be noted that online platforms have become mainstream for trading on the NSE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, beginner investors must be cautious when using these platforms to avoid uniform or impulsive trading that could result in avoidable losses. Therefore, you must seek advice from your stockbroker before trading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Collect_Benefits_On_Your_Investment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: Collect Benefits On Your Investment<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors make money through three (3) ways: dividends, capital appreciation, and bonus shares. While some <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/top-10-nigerian-stocks-high-dividends-year\">stocks pay final dividends<\/a> at the end of the financial year, others pay an interim dividend around the middle of the financial year. Nevertheless, paying dividends to shareholders is not compulsory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When there is a large profit margin, a company may decide to reinvest part of the profit to create new shares and then reward shareholders with these extra shares through a bonus or scrip issue. As a shareholder, you can choose to retain your bonus shares or sell them, exchanging them for cash.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Recreate_Reinvest_Your_Choice\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Recreate \/ Reinvest Your Choice<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the step where you choose to do something interesting with your earnings, such as going on vacation, buying a new property, or, better yet, reinvesting.
