Blue-chip stocks fell for the second day at the stock market yesterday as  profit taking by some investors persisted - leading to a further fall in the market indicators.
The Bull Run witnessed at the market for the first four days of February was halted last Friday when profit takers moved in to realise part of the gains recorded in past days. As a result, the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) All-Share Index shed 2.6 per cent  last Friday to close at  23,226.28, while market capitalisation depreciated by N148 billion.
