I need no soothsayer to some to the conclusion that Skye bank only provided the figure for Q4 alone...

The forecast released by Aso Savings show that they will make a profit on over N1 billion. This has to be for the cumulative 9 months and not just for three months between October and December because, even when they (Aso) were making money, they could not boast of such numbers...

Thank you my brother. Just another example of the quality of management we have at SEC and NSE. Companies can decide to send in forecast in whatever form they want and it is left to investors to draw their own conclusions. Wish these NSE guys can just focus on 'house cleaning' stuff like this before talking about introducing ETF in Q4.
