The market capitalisation of listed equities on Tuesday shed N85 billion in six hours of trading to what traders attributed to profit taking as a result of the presidential poll.

Specifically, the market capitalisation, which opened at N12.194 trillion, shed N85 billion or 0.69 per cent to close at N12.109 trillion.

Mr Omordion said the smart money that pushed the market up with expectations that the opposition would win the presidential election were leaving the market. Conversely, Guinness led the gainers’ table during the day, gaining N2.05 to close at N67.15 per share.

This same stock shall rise in 3 months, invest now if you can.

This is just the beginning

Somebody somewhere use this thing chop and used election as a cover. But we would never know.

How can an investor have confidence in Buhari, who is not a good economic manager?

Maybeks Next level

Am not surprised. Next level loading very very fast.

Am not surprised. Next level loading very very fasr

This 'escapist fantasy' is why Igbos have not been able to stamp their feet firmly on the ground in Nigeria. Please learn that the owner of the slave will eventually own the slave's properties. Start working for political identity and not just economic pursuits.

Well it shows investors lack of confidence in the leadership of the country.

That is very good✌how i wish it would more than like that.

The stock market should be probed, how comes? It's probably PDP's 16 years of mismanagement

Buhari 's fault

ShehuSani Norway here I come, as a graduate Nigeria has nothing to offer me

Huh, what for, chai why are we all blind to see that this time it won't be funny at all...

We have been surviving we go equally survive

Ummmhhh! XoHamham is it too early to start tagging you? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nonsense and secondary! Sai baba👻👻👻👻

Welcome to the next level 😀😀. Meanwhile...

Hahahahaha, I hope there will be a stock market Sha after 4yrs

The Beginning...

Nextlevel journey has started! Nigeria and Nigerians will survive!

ShehuSani God will surely reverse this croockedness and madness called election

Abdulmarlick Hmmm

Oya Festus come out with a better lie strategy

ShehuSani Muhammaddahuru replying premium Timesng appreciation was reported ibut you're report is different.

Hello fkeyamo, see how market price dropped after Buhari emerged a winner. nytimes NSEcontact

Why would NSEcontact loses N85B in 6 hours when the same person who was a president still won? In any country where there is going to be an election, investors are always careful with their monies. It is not because MBuhari won but the election itself.

Can we call this the 'bubu effect'?

It ain't because of election result but ELECTION UNCERTAINTIES. Stop making it look as if the market value dropped because MBuhari wins.

In my area, the only president we know is atiku

benmurraybruce What's my business? Who is chelsea even playing today?

Even the stock market is not happy 😐😔

Very sure many did not read the full story to understand it. Just read the headline and started saying all sorts

Who voted the most.... North Who is winning.....Buhari Who celebrate.... North Who suffer the most .... North Who hunger go kill... North Who Boko Haram go kill... North Who herdsmen go kill.. North Who has the highest rate of poverty... North Who shine my shoe..North Who guide

ShehuSani Will you deposit your money to bring it back?

Can you imagine that.

Lol

An inidication if you ever needed one.

benmurraybruce you are excited ba? you are an enemy of Nigeria because you lost an election. shamelessTwitterSenator

benmurraybruce Stock Exchange happens like that shortly after Elections throughout the whole WORLD. I’ve witnessed it and is on record in Great Britain, America, Germany, Italy and so on like that. Nigeria one is not exceptional

They'll soon say its Buhari's fault

haryordehjie That's how you know the president is a bad choice.

Judging from the comments, most people didn't even bother to read the article before commenting. So they invested bcuz they thought Atiku would win then pulled out cuz he lost. He prolly made promises to them but failed to win, how do people still blame PMB for this?

Noted!

So none of this seems weird to anybody huh? I swear the leaders don't care about us, they will do anything and everything to achieve their goals even if it means destroying this country. I've said enough, God help us all.

Thank God I'm in Dubai, after my master's I'm moving to Canada. Continue to enjoy your next level of poverty and herdsmen killing. God help me, I'll take my parents and siblings as well. DivideNigeria

That's next level for another four years.

Take heart Nigerians.

Just the beginning.

That's good news

It's a norm. It happens everywhere in the world.

benmurraybruce This is just the beginning of the next level of backwardness

The south east has never bowed down to any monster since inception in order to survive. They prosper even in the worst and harsh environment, so another four years under Buhari means nothing to them. WeMustExcel no long face

Do those voters even know the implications of a stock market crash? Asking for a friend.

Just the beginning

ShehuSani Eyah!!! Masugudu sugudu....

😂😂😂😂😂 una never see any thing

Next level has started 😑

advokhado This one is just sensationalized news to catch people's interest Jare. The stock market also fell by 0.61% Monday and rose by 0.60% on Tuesday. Fluctuation is normal dis period. While Buhari winning is not ideal, this is not evidence of the suffering to come.

jackdre02 🙏🙏🙏🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

It will rebound.

You have not seen anything yet!!!!!!na next level just started!!!!

Unah never see anything..!

benmurraybruce Can you just imagine this people again, are you saying because of the time frame to announce the results makes NSM losses N85bn?

This is only the beginning

This just the beginning

ProfMosun Signalling Theory is actually taking it's effect on the stock market...Good and bad news effect, market reacts more to bad news than to good news...if u know u know

Buhari wins, Nigeria loses. That's what happens when the kingmakers can't pick between Potential/Integrity. Cashing in on Northern population to deliver us Presidents who knows nothing about globalization is a scourge to the growth of this nation. bitter truth.

Lmfao! Who cares?

This is indeed “next level” smh

We are different

And it begins

Why will the stock market not crash when they actually wanted to come & buy over our NNPC through proxies. The announcement simply dashed their hopes. Let them pull their doggy cash out, we will grow from within, we will grow locally. Shame on investors of doom, shame on thieves.

ShehuSani phatoyeh

My bags are packed

ShehuSani How?

It hasn’t started yet

Ka tuna Hillary vs trump Kareem_Khaleed

ShehuSani What happened to the intrinsic value of affected businesses in 6hrs? Absolutely nothing. This is the usual recklessness of speculators in the market. They panic, rush out of the market, make prices fall fast but intelligent investors know this is the time to buy.

benmurraybruce Because thieves are selling their shares.

Aye le o

ShehuSani Back to status quo for you and the wailers

Iya mi oooo! Sai !!

Like this is the first time.

Some of you always claimed to have sense and educated but can't reason well. Is a normal trend during electioneering stock market raises or falls based on anticipation, but hopefully normalised afterwards. Nigeria is the only country we have and stop the hate.

We will regain it back in multiple times, because NNPC is not going for the highest bidders again

NextLevel has started

NBS said unemployment on the rise; they said it is just a figure of speech. Upgraded to extreme poverty, they said issa lifestyle from 1914. Is it stock exchange figures they will believe in 2019? Guess again.

benmurraybruce Lol even the small girl want her ass to shake oo

Even as INEC neva officially announce the winner? This one fast oooh...

😭😭😭

benmurraybruce Damn!

Good for us! As thieves are pulling out cause their beloved thief lost, wise investors will be taking position knowing that Buhari is building something concrete and sustainable

We go gain back in the next few minutes

eyya, this space is too pessimistic, wish well to the victors oh you bad losers, what's your gain if the winner fails, next level would accommodate all of us.

This APC supporters think Buhari can achieve anything in four years. Nothing o and like lightening it will be over and he back in Daura dead or alive. And Nigeria moves on but unfortunately likely to be in a very bad shape

Y’all should read FFS. Open and read in less than 3minutes, you wouldn’t be dropping the comments you’re dropping under this news. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

ChNnadozie Imagine even the market is mourning lmaooooo We all feel robbed somehow

The Election came with violence, so irrespective of the outcome, the international community will not consider this Free & Fair. From economics & finance perspective, foreign investment will not come in and the ones here would be likely taken out. Enjoy your dollar now 365.

Because all my guys are ballers

U see?

Next level

The stock market has been in a mess for over 9 years, please save us all these rubbish. Those who want to take their ill gotten wealth can do so now. Dollars sniffing dogs are being shipped in from USA. Whistleblowing fee shall be increased to 10%. Awon ole daran

Shebi we said we are doing elections? I hope we don't loose our heads too. When stats indicates further on how poorer we are getting, the Afonjas will start crying.

Nigeria would loses very thing under this useless nomadic MBuhari You want to rule people of Nigeria by force, this election were extremely rigged. In borno state they have not used card reader at all in many LGAs ,just inecnigeria and borno state governor wrote fake figures .

Anxiety and irrational statements from d opposition caused the panic sales. But I can assure u that as soon as d elections results are over d market will bounce back.

We soon recovered.

This is expected looking at the results from INEC collation centre. Had the result been the other way round, it would had been bullish by now.

“And so it begins”

Sai baba next level🔥

PluckyPrecious Lol, even stock market crash on hearing of Buhari's victory. MBuhari na bad news all round. Cheer up guys, las las all of us go de ok.

Its just the beginning,except we get a good economist and rejigged the system with sound policy can the NSE get back on track.

Was there a time the stock exchange made any reasonable gain? Companies have not been paying dividend again since the stock crash years back

Yesssss...

dondekojo Hmmmmmmmmm this is just the beginning.

Welcome to the Next level.

NexlLevel 😂😂😂

MBuhari is Neva associated with success. Everything he is involved with fails. He can sink a thriving economy in a few hours. The dictionary word for failure should be changed to buhari

Next level

It’s rich people’s money being wasted. Guess they were planning to use it to buy NNPC

Hefkhay Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Eben_Ik in for 4yrs, this is how much naira 496,400,000,000,000 we will lose i hope we're all ready for this..

😂😂😂😂😂 No comment

Fake news

Hmmmmmmm

'Lies'

Next level of doom

Let it lose the whole amount under the stock exchange it won't change the result.

Calm down😂. This happens on a daily basis. The stock market gained 0.57% yesterday, lost 0.69% today, lost 0.61% last week, gained 3.63% the week before, rose 2.92% the week before that, and essentially fluctuates on a daily basis. This is not a cause for alarm nor an anomaly

If you see this headline, do not panic. It is not an anomally. The market rose by over 85bn yesterday and is positive year-to-date. This is just one of those headlines that tries to clickbait you based on non-widespread capital mkt savvyness

Sai Baba
