Good suggestion which may be beneficial to the masses.The downside is that he hasn't together with other players at the bourse tackled the real issues - ignorance,failed intermediaries and the fiasco that is safcon.with many still equating nse with the devil that is defined by the myriad problems,he can keeping ranting till the cows come calling with the advice drawing a blank.

@mainat: the commission structure discourages trading

Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB

In this era of automation,the more the better. Banks chased away small customers claiming they are expensive some time back only to go back to them begging them to reopen accounts with less strict terms. They discovered even dealing with the big boys can be risky. How can that be with computers and ATM machines? It was not logical. CDSC needs to upgrade its system to take care of as many customers as possible. Cost is not a factor neither the number of staff. They make money by sending us sms on transaction and statement. They need to strengthen their systems and understand the numbers are not the problem but intergrity. Our market is not sophiscated with only 40 or so active counters. It is easy to analyse the stocks on your own. If the bourse had more than 2000 counters,then you need a financial analyist to seive through that kind of information hence the need to invest through an expert.

@f.ali...u r right...but on technology the NSE is tops...the ATS (made by Sri Lanka Tamil tigers) was implemented at NSE as the gunea pig (untried elsewhere except Colombo SX!!)...but it's turned out a great software that Boston SX implemented recently and London SX is implementing this week...to upgrade from 200,000 to 1m transactions per sec...clearly NSE can handles lots of accounts technically...

Playing the stock market without insider info...is like buying a cow in the moonlight.
