Let's Talk Pharma

 Hi Guys,

Last day of the week already... "Whoop Whoop!!!" Hope you all liked last week's post and remembered to share it. If you missed it, HERE is the link again. 

Straight into the business of today; PHARMACEUTICAL STOCKS. Alongside Tech, Pharma is also experiencing a boom in share prices due to the current situation of the world. As the world remains in a limbo as to how and when the Covid-19 pandemic would be over, we (world) have set our gaze on the Pharmaceutical sector to help us by creating a vaccine to help combat the virus. 

A host of Pharma companies have received not just government grants but also investments for rich private bodies and individuals to help with their research for a Covid-19 vaccine. Below are a list of Pharma companies whose share price have benefited from the sudden benevolence; 

  • BioNTech and Pfizer -  Although independent companies, they have decided to come together to develop a vaccine which has already passed the testing stage as is currently the vaccine UK government is ready to administer to its population come December 2020. This companies stocks is one to buy, especially BioNTech being the smaller of the parties and the one handling the production of the vaccine. Pfizer is only going to handle distribution.
  • Moderna - This is another Pharma company who has enjoyed seed from private individuals to aid their vaccine research. They alongside BioNTech would likely be the go to organisation by America. 
  • Novavax - The company which recorded the highest amount of funds ever invested by the US government into a company. We are yet to hear anything concrete as regards their progress on the vaccine but they also cannot be written off. 
  • AstraZeneca - They are a global biopharmaceutical company who partnered with Oxford University for their vaccine research. Although their vaccine is not out and doesn't have any forecast date to when it would be ready, the only news is that their vaccine shows more promise with the elderly population of the world.
  • Cytodyn
  • Gliead Sciences or Remdesivir - Remdesivir medicine is already in stores as it is used to prevent HIV (Not sure) but on the 1st of May, it was approved as an emergency drug for Covid-19 patients in America
  • GlaxoSmithKline
  • Heat Biologics
The above are just a few Pharma companies to look out for on the stock market. Please note that we have other Pharma companies who are concerned with Covid Vaccine also doing very well.

Next Friday is another day;

      At the moment you can trade in stocks by either using private brokers or doing it yourself with the aid of applications such as Invest Bamboo, Trove, Chaka amongst many others.

    Great...but you do realise that one's there's a better vaccine (at least 99% curable) the stock is high, which brings others ridiculously low...so you still advice to buy or sell immediately there is a better one

      You are very right Dayo but I envisage with the amount of Pharma companies out and about proving the efficiency of their different vaccines we are bound to have a controlled market governed by price. Covid as we all know is not going away anytime soon and would probably just be like Malaria. When you get it, you go the store and buy a vaccine (Medicine) you can afford. So a particular company proving 99% curable rate does not spell doom for others in any way. I would also advise that before you purchase stocks of the any of the Pharma companies, you shouldn't base it on just the Covid-19 vaccine but also on the base production or activity of the company. For example, Gilead Sciences are into production of HIV drugs, GSK are very well known for production of a lot of other drugs which are thriving in the world today.

Stocks To Watch

 Good Day Guys, I would have loved to go in-depth in trying to explain the US stock market but that would be for a later post.  The year 2020 has been a very trying one for each and everyone of us one way or the other. For some they have won and for others they've lost. To people who have lost, 'Kashama Dupe' (Let's just thank God) we are alive and well. In the face of the many depleting world economies, some firms have stayed winning because they have not just shown resilience but also shown that they are indeed the future and many of these firms are in the technological sector.  Firms like Zoom, Microsoft, Apple, Slack amongst many others have seen their stock price rise and profit hit an all time high due to the changes in the world caused by COVID.  Working from home is the new norm and every organisation around the world has had to adjust to this to stay afloat thus making web and internet based applications like Zoom, Microsoft (Teams especially), Slack and even N

Stocks To Watch 2021

Good Day Readers,  In a couple of hours we will be in March (as at the time of writing this post) which is the end of the first quarter of the year 2021. As your go to place for investment advice and financial watch, we remain ever committed to fulfilling all the goals and objectives set for the year on having a more organised web page. Today we will be discussing on the stocks to watch in 2021. The stocks listed below were carefully curated from the end of last year till now and they were picked based on forecast of future financial growth, all round company growth, business acceptability in the long run and both present and future world events.  NIO - We believe this is one for the future. NIO is a Chinese owned electric vehicle company set to rival TESLA. Now trading under the $50 mark per share, the stock forecast expects that in 5years or  less it would have grown by over 900% to about $450. If you buy $1,000 worth of NIO now, in 5years it would be worth $9,000. We think just beca

DILEMMA CALLED THE NIGERIAN TREASURY BILL

 The Nigerian Treasury Bill;  hmm.... Hi Guys,  It's already a month we began this journey to financial literacy together. Happy new month people; I wish you the very best of the festive seasons and please try to make someone smile this December. According to investopedia, treasury bill is a short term government debt obligation backed by the treasury department or CBN in Nigeria's case with a maturity of one year or less (mostly on quarterly basis). They are low risk and secure investments. Let's simply put it this way, when government wants to finance public projects and are unable to raise funds they issue IOUs (I Owe You) to investors stating they have collected a certain amount from them and effectively pay interest immediately while your investment runs for the agreed tenor.  A lot of factors influence the interest rate of Treasury bill amongst which are the treasury bill auctioneers and types of bidders, market impact and most importantly the economy's inflation
