They didn't believe it. Filled the forms, but another round of struggle started. They slept on my forms for two months with their agents calling me to persuade me to change my mind but I was not interested. I had to go back and make noise for the forms to be forwarded to cdsc. Two months later, I was called by D&B. Today I trade on their online system hassle free. That other place I would have to manually appear to order and track orders. So far so good, I recommend D&B I don't follow brokers, i follow dealers. A great dealer will tell you the nature of supply/demand whether local or foreign and will give you priority. It's also good practice to recognise their efforts once in a while...eg a bottle of wine for christmas holidays, a complimentary ticket for 2 at Serena/Sarova  etc #SecretToGreatWealth #MakingMoney2014 Is there the need really in this day and age of Technology? You can see the demand and supply on the online platform the rest Mystockske will tell you, ama? If you bulk buy/sell, you certainly need them. Big executions never appear on the board. @SufficientlyP

So far so good, I recommend D&B If you were around and lost money to brokers in 2007-8 you would not trust your money with a broker not backed by a commercial bank. Not saying there might be a repeat but anytime you catch a whiff of financial trouble, you take your money and run. Red signs include delayed order execution, delayed payments, high staff turn over, low staff morale, unanswered calls etc Life is short. Live passionately.

Any broker in trouble at the moment? How is D&B? They are not backed by a commercial bank.

Isnt the brokerage firm a different entity from the commercial bank? I know several commercial banks that went under too what makes them immune?

While chasing my thousands I met others who had lost millions. Nyaga and Discount were other culprits that disappeared with peoples' money not counting other brokers who illegally traded with peoples' shares. Decided to count my losses and move on but with a lesson learnt No. 1 rule of investment - DO NOT LOSE MONEY EITHER THROUGH WRONG CHOICE OF BROKER or through reckless speculation. Life is short. Live passionately.

ecstacy wrote:Mainat wrote:Anybody else experiencing issues with Africa Alliance? They have become one of the most useless brokers in town!! As mentioned by others, the attitude of some of their (more senior) staff is like you are pestering them. Research notes no longer coming through. Some order a while back wasn't placed in time resulting in paper loss. Then just this week, I went there a month late to confirm why I am yet to receive my Rwanda BoK dividend just to discover that BoK/AA Rwanda sent the cheques a while ago, just that AA Kenya had never picked them, may I add the collection office is in the Nairobi CBD!!! absolute bullshit. The lady at the front desk though is always so helpful. Hao wengine, buure kabisa. I asked them about their nasty attitude and they said that they're moving away from retail business and concentrating on corporates. That's why they no longer do any research for the mass market.. They were "gently" encouraging me to move on..

That's what I did and therefore there was no question of delays in forwarding them to CDSC
