I made a point early on of never going to individual run/named stock brockers especially in Kenya. And i would even fear investing in family run businesses safe for Nakumatt and Kiroche Breweries were they in the NSE ... Laughing out loudly
Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it...

@popat, were you sorted out? My advice... With these failing brokers, run at the earliest sign of trouble. Don't wait to be a stat. Safety of your money comes first. You can transfer the shares later.

Well... run baby run...

It's like the banks... I prefer the multinationals for 'safety' but like strong mid-tier for services...

I avoid the likes of City Finance, etc... too small... too scary!

unless one has insider information that when u will know a stockbroker is going down. for most of us i think its only prudent that you diversify.

The funny thing is, when you wanted funding for the safaricom shares from KREP bank you had( must) to open a CDS account with Ngenye kariuki.

@selah - All banks & brokers had set up 'alliances' during safaricom...

So it all dependent on the bank you went to...

I have always preferred banks as far as brokerage is concerned. At least they have a huge capital base and they are used to more rigorous scrutiny.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.
