BAMBOO

Bamboo is a digital investment platform that was built to allow Nigerians to invest, buy and sell stocks that are listed on the US Stock market from their phones or computer.

It was founded by Yanmo Omorogbe who also serves as the company’s Director of growth, and Richmond Bassey, who also serves as CEO. Bassey describes Bamboo as being “on a mission to even out the playing field for access to global investment opportunities for everyday Nigerians.” He continues, “We believe everyday Nigerians that want to grow their personal wealth long-term and take part in the global markets should have an investment platform they can trust enough to do so.”

With as little as $20 anyone can register on Bamboo and start investing, buying and selling US Stocks. All they need to confirm your account is your BVN and this is secure. YOU HAVE NO REASON TO WORRY.

Each Bamboo account is insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation to the tune of $500,000.

You can download Bamboo on your IOS phones and Android phones from the Apple and Google stores respectively. You can start investing by visiting their website where you can get more information www.investbamboo.com.

Bamboo equally has useful information on the stock markets, trade and investments to guide you while you buy, sell (stocks) and invest your money.

With $20, you are on your way to accessing more than 3,000 US stocks.

Now, you will be asking yourself why should you invest in stocks in these times of economic crisis. The truth is economic crises are not new; they have come and gone and will come again. For us in Nigeria, our revenues have dwindled with unstable oil prices

The naira has devalued because of this and when there is a devaluation those who have dollar investments are the winners. In simple math, if you bought a dollar at 360 naira in February 2020 by March 2020 the devaluation will make a dollar to be #405 as it is today.

So, your $10 that was 3600 naira will become 4,050 or more depending on the exchange rate.

For the US stocks, they are not dependent on oil prices to appreciate because the investments in technology, health, transportation and a whole of areas that are not common in Nigeria. The Nigerian economy revolves around oil and when there is a global dip, we are hit like a thunderbolt without warning. So, if you invest in US stocks, you will monitor them appreciate and you can equally sell when you feel there will be a fall in prices.

Whether for Rise or Bamboo, you have a whole lot of opportunities to diversifying your income and make more money. You invest in real estate, Eurobonds, and thousands of stocks from both platforms.
