Jennifer, investment banker, CH accountant, CH stock broker. I don't know if you've been hearing. The stock Nvidia currently is making a lot of money for investors. In the last six months, it has returned over 160%. That means, let's say you invested 100K six months ago, by now, that your 100K is worth over 260,000. That's cool, right?
Let me blow your mind. Do you know that if you invested in this same Nvidia, let's say five years ago, you invested 100K in Nvidia, guess how much your money is worth now? Just guess. Good. Just guess. Good. So your money is worth over 2.8 million Naira. Yes. So the stock has returned over 2800% in the last five years.
Let me even show you. Can you see that? Look at that. Look at that. 2,871.72% in the last five years. If you'd invested in that stock from the first time they went public, let's see how much it will be. Oh my God. Can you see that? Look at that. 292. Oh my God. I I can't even calculate this. I can't even calculate it because it is mind-blowing. And from what I see, the stock is not stopping anytime soon.
Let me say this. This is not me asking you to go and invest in Nvidia. This is me sharing what I invested in for educational purposes, okay? I hope you subscribe to this channel because here, we are all about securing this bag together. Hit the Subscribe button right away.
Before I share my screen and show you how you can start investing in the stock market, I need to let you know that the stock market is not like a get-rich-quick scheme. No. In fact, to get the best out of the stock market, just have a long-term horizon. Tell yourself that this is a vehicle I will use to build long-term wealth. Come on, the richest men in the world, most of them make their money from the stock market. Why not us? Why not you? Okay? So please bear that in mind. Long term, unless you are a trader.
And again, just like every other investment, there are some risks involved. Number one, the company you invest in may not turn out as fine as you expect it to. Okay? And then secondly, there is price volatility. By the time we started this video, a stock might have moved from, let's say, $100 to like $120. The same stock would have also moved to like $80. Okay? The price always moves up and down. But so long as you are investing in great companies, you don't have to worry because whenever it comes down, definitely it will still go back up.
I need to get that out of the way. This video is just for me to show you how to use the app, you know, step by step. I have previous videos that will walk you through exactly what you need to know about investing in the stock market. There are two of them. There's one that is a web-like over 90-minute webinar, and there's one that is less than that, about 10 minutes or thereabout. So I'm going to leave them in the description. Please go and watch it before you start investing. But for here, I'm going to be showing you how to use the app, okay?
For this video, we'll be using the Optimus app. In fact, there are so many apps you can use. There is Bamboo if you're in Nigeria or Ghana. There is Trove, and even if you're abroad, like UK, US, there are so many options as well. Trading 212, eToro, so many of them. For the purpose of this video, I'm using Optimus. I'm going to drop the correct sign-up link in the description in case if you don't have one you use currently and you want to download Optimus, just use the link, sign up.
So let's get right into it. Before then, I know that this is the kind of content people pay for, right? And no problem. I'm happy to share it free of charge with you. I'm just asking for one tiny request. It's free, don't worry. Could you kindly please hit the Subscribe button? Just that thumbs up button to like the video. It helps to spread the gospel of what we are doing here and helps to grow the channel. Thank you so, so much. I appreciate. Please like the video if you haven't.
So when you log into the Optimus app, first of all, you need to fund your account. But know that yes, you are investing in US Stocks, but you don't necessarily need to have a dollar account. That's the beautiful thing. Okay? You will fund Naira and then you can swap it to dollars on the app. Let me show you.
Okay, so this is my Optimus app. When you come in here, you would see wallets. Right? Once you go to the wallet, you will see fund. Click on that fund. We want to add money to the account, okay? So when you click there, you see Naira bank transfer. Just click on the Naira bank transfer. It's going to take you to a Wema account. So you see my own. This is my Wema account. This is your dedicated account. Personally, I have saved mine on my banking app so that whenever I transfer money to it, automatically my Optimus app will be funded, okay? So that is just it. Copy it, go ahead and send money to it.
Let's move on. Now you've funded money. Let's say I have 13,000 Naira. Now I need to swap it from Naira to Dollar, right? So here now, I have 13. You do swap. They will show you the current exchange rate. If that's fine with you, just click continue. Then how much do you want to swap? Let's say I want to move 5,000 Naira. 5,000 will give me $3.16, right? Review. Am I fine with it? Swap. It's as simple as that. Got it.
So here now, the money is now on your USD wallet. I have my money here initially, so that's why it's like 15 point something. But what you are trading with is your trading wallet. For your US Stock, it's your trading wallet. I even have money here too. But let's assume you don't have any money in the trading wallet. Remember, you've moved from Naira to USD. From USD, you now move to your trading wallet. So trading wallet, let's fund trading wallet with that money that's 5K we bought, okay?
So now let's see. Um, we bought, um, $3, right? So let's enter $3. You know, a beautiful thing with this, you don't need plenty money. With $1, with $1, you can invest. Okay? Now, you're using $3, which is like 5,000 Naira. So when I say that investment you can do with 5,000 Naira, I know what I'm saying, right? Let's continue. So confirm funding transfer. So yeah, at this point, transfer successful. Got it.
We now have money in our trading account. Let's now go and buy a stock. Come to home. When you come to home, you see US Stock, right? Click on US Stock. Now it will show you everything you have before. And let's say you are just starting, you don't have any stock. Just come to up here, search for stock. Um, let's say we want to buy. What should we buy? What should we buy? Ah, with an Apple phone, iPhone. Okay? So let's search Apple. Let's search for Apple. So come here and type the company you want to buy. Apple, right?
So this is my Apple. Click on it. Currently, Apple is at $228.30. Oh my God. I remember last year we were buying Apple for 100 and something. Now it has grown. That is the stock market for you. Okay? You make money when you buy prices are expected to keep growing. And Apple pays dividend. This particular Apple pays dividend four times in a year. Oh my God, my sister, why are you not investing in the stock market yet? Let's continue.
So let's say I want to buy because I already have Apple, it's showing me buy more, right? So let me buy more. If you have, if you don't have it before now, you'll be seeing just five. So how much own do I want to buy? I can choose any of the amount here or I can just say custom and continue. How much did we swap? $3, right? So $3. What next? Okay. So it's going to give me the details of, um, the stock, right? Um, there is charges. And if I'm fine with this, I'll just click confirm order.
So currently, the market is closed now. This is morning. The market opens from mostly 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Sometimes it's like 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM. So if you want to invest in US Stock, target in the afternoon. But this one, even though the market is closed, it's already queued. So whenever the market opens, immediately the order will execute. And it's as simple as that.
Let's say I want to sell. Maybe later in the year, I now want to sell the same Apple stock I bought. It's very simple. Let me show you. So when you come here, search for that same stock you want to sell. It's already in your portfolio. So let's sell the same Apple we bought now, right? So I will click Apple. Now you see the sell option. If you don't have Apple, you're not going to see sell option because it's what you have, you are going to sell. So let's go ahead and sell.
So when you click on sell, how much are you selling? We bought $3. Let's sell the same one we bought. $3. Next. I don't want to sell my app. I don't want to sell my app. Okay? So are you, are you sure you want to sell? For the sake of few people, I'm going to sell my stock. I never sell my stock. But so you confirm. That's it. Simple and sweet. You've sold Apple. Apple market order queued. Done. And it's as simple as that. It's not that hard. Fund your wallet, buy the stock you want to buy, and whenever you are ready, you can sell.
But remember what I said. Stock market is perfect for long-term investing. Me, I'm not touching mine till 10 years time, 15 years time. Okay? So what's the next step now? Now you know how to invest, how to buy, how to sell. The next step is, if you don't have an app, go and download one. I've already mentioned options. If you want to use the same Optimus I used right now, go to the description. I will link the correct link for you to go and sign up.
