The Nigerian stock market closed on a high of 14.27% in November, the
best month to date return since January 2018, when the market closed at
16%.
One of the major challenges of the Nigerian stock exchange is the
lack of liquidity and its status as a very shallow market. There are
about 166 stocks in the market, out of which less than 100 are tradeable
daily.
Included in this 100 are about 50 odd stocks that often deliver on
profits and dividends, which is why some retail investors in Nigeria
have started investing in stocks in the United States.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has about 2,800 companies listed,
while the NASDAQ has about 3,300 stocks listed. This gives investors in
this market numerous options where they can put their money. It is also
why the US economy attracts billions of dollars in portfolio investments
annually.
The London Stock Exchange in the United Kingdom lists about 2,600
companies from 60 different countries including Nigeria. It is one of
the most recognized exchanges in the world, with trades worth trillions
of dollars worth passing through it daily.
For information on how to invest in stocks listed on the NYSE and
NASDAQ, with a summary profile of some of the popular applications to
