₦2 million could have turned into ₦115.9 million. see how

[Benjamin E Housel]

If I had bought NAVC at ₦2.78… I definitely would have held till today. That’s the beauty of patience and discipline—small moves, smart choices, long-term payoff.
Who else would’ve stayed the course?

I would have stayed the course but sold some portions already.

 

[Benjamin E Housel]

That's another problem with some of all this stocks, using Geregu as example, I bought at 246 naria and can't sell them even at 1k per share

With stocks like this, you sell when others are buying.

I think you have been selling when others are also selling.

That's why understanding a company and its stock matter as well.

 

[Benjamin E Housel]

Yes, NAHCO shows that patience really pays. The hard part isn’t selling, it’s not selling too early. Who else could hold a stock like this for six years?

You're right about "patience" and "not selling too eariy"

 

[Benjamin E Housel]

True. Most of the big gains came in the last year, and that’s where patience really shows its power. Sometimes it’s not just about spotting a stock early, it’s about holding on when it counts.

On point...

 

[Benjamin E Housel]

I bought around #4 but I sold most of it above #70 to pay for my children school fees

You made good money or should I say good returns on your money(investment)

 

[Benjamin E Housel]

But still have some few units less than 5000units

You did well... Leaving some units for any potential upside.

That is the ₦115.9 Million question, @LagosPolice! To answer the Admin: Absolutely, yes. NAHCO is a highly liquid 'Tier-2' blue-chip in the services sector. With the ₦10 Trillion liquidity surge we are expecting tomorrow, finding buyers for a ₦115M position wouldn't be the problem—the real challenge would have been the Psychological Discipline to not sell when it hit ₦20, ₦50, or ₦100! Most people 'shake' when they see a 100% gain; holding for a 5,795% gain requires a 'Stoic' mindset that ignores the weekend 'accumulators' and focuses on the fact that NAHCO handles nearly 70% of foreign airlines in Nigeria. The business grew, so the stock followed. Who here has the 'Steel Nerves' to hold a winner for 6 years?

i definitely won't hold a stock that long, atleast not yet

 

[AdmiralU]

We had same experience with Transcorp, we made good money with that

My first major break through in stock market came through Transcorp

 

[Little Princess]

Great points being raised here! @Vicole, your experience with Geregu is a classic lesson in the difference between 'Market Cap' and 'Float.' Unlike Geregu, which has a very tight closely-held structure, NAHCO is a different beast—it has a much broader public float and high daily transaction volume. Selling ₦115M of NAHCO wouldn't crash the price because institutional buyers are always looking for entry into the aviation handling sector. Especially today, with ₦10 Trillion entering the system, 'Tier-2' gems with actual business moats (like 70% of foreign airline handling) are exactly where that money will go. Liquidity follows value!

I think i have the mind to hold for long

[mtuns]

The stock is liquid enough. Finding buyers shouldn't be a big deal.

Very liquid stock to sell or buy at any given time

 

[Benjamin E Housel]

Right ️

It all depends on your investment strategy, risk appetite and your investment goals.

That was in 2023 into 2024 right?

 

[Tobcom]

Hmmm...And another twist to it is there are some fundamentally strong stocks that are viable at that time too that may not have given much capital appreciation to their investors.

Yeah... The company has a strong business moat that attracts long-term investors.

Good one @Adegoroye

Yes... A stock can be a fundamentally solid one but it doesn't mean it's a growth compounder like NAHCO

Which stocks is that ,let us look into it

 

[DinoOmoAle]

The question remains, who would have known that it will pick and how many of us would have had the patience to still hold on till now?

I recall seeing this very stock at 37naira in Dec 2024 and here we are.

So I would say, the real move occurred between last year and now

good question, when Transcorp happeneed it was just cos we forgot to sell it and it did well lol. so maybe people should just have money they dont need and hope for luck .
