Quality information is the key to investor’s success in NSE because you would need to have pre-knowledge of which stock to buy and when to sell such stock. The factors a stock trader needs to consider are the history, quality, cost and perception of the stock.
The NSE has a list of 180 companies with total market capitalization of about N10.16 trillion as of June 28, 2016. It creates a medium in which investors can use disposable income to buy stocks with the belief that it will later rise in value.
