    Okay… imagine this like an old grandma sitting outside in the evening, watching people trade tomatoes in the market.

    She no dey use big grammar. She just dey observe life.

    She go tell you like this:

    “My child… nobody truly knows the exact top.

    If person say he knows… hmm… be careful.”

    Think of stock like price of yam in market

    Morning time, price dey go up

    People dey rush buy

    You go think: “Ah this thing go keep going o”

    Then suddenly…

    People stop buying

    Some start selling

    Price begin fall.

    So how you go know the “peak”?

    You no go know exact peak.

    But you fit feel say it don near finish.

    Grandma go say, watch these things:

    1. When everybody don dey talk about am

    If even your friend wey no sabi anything about stock come say:

    “Guy this stock dey hot, buy now!”

    Hmm…

    That time, e don almost reach top.

    Because: When everybody don enter… who remain to push am go up again?

    2. When price don run too fast

    If stock was: ₦10 → ₦15 → ₦25 → ₦40 (very fast)

    No rest, no small drop… just flying

    Grandma go say: “Anything wey climb too fast… go come down small to breathe”

    3. When you see small small weakness

    Before big fall comes…

    You go first see:

    Price go up small

    Then drop small

    Then struggle

    Like person wey don tire but still dey try walk.

    That is warning.

    4. Have your own exit before you enter

    This one important pass all.

    Before you buy, tell yourself:

    “I go sell when I see 20% profit” or

    “I go sell if it drop 10%”

    Because if you wait for perfect top…

    Greed go hold you.

    You go say: “Make it reach ₦50… make it reach ₦60…”

    Before you know, it don fall back to ₦30.

    Truth (grandma go whisper this one)

    “You no need catch the top to make money.”

    Even if you sell before peak…

    as long as you make profit… you win.
