I agree... lakini the brokers will not let it go!

Should prompt board be banned or normal board done away with?

The difference between normal and prompt is only the settlement duration (time for brokers to pay each other),4 days vs 1 day. Shares on the other hand are obtained instantaneously from CDSC.

So perhaps seeing that we're now in the age of Internet and RTGS, the normal board can now be done away with, and everything settled in the 1 day.

How exactly does it help in robbing "unsuspecting investors"?

I'll try this once more (reminds me of some mboys in primo who had to repeat the multiplication tables on their way to school just so they could remember what 2*2 was).

Point number one-anybody can trade on the prompt board.
Point number two- the prompt board is there for those who need liquidity quickly. That is hwy you'll see peeps accepting lower prices. So they can cash at t+1.
Point number three- if you can't make mbesa in the NSE, you can't make at Gikomba so stop clutching at straws...

Could CFC brokers be using prompt board for everyone...they'v become super fast in the last fortnight or so!! In the past (b4 the sackings) they would ask one to check a trade after 2 days (fair enough within t+4)...no so these days...you place an order and in a few seconds you're told it's gone thro' while still at trading desk [this has happened with me on 3 occasions)...geez I'm thinking of becoming day trader...to 'Prompt Board' I say - go baby, go...
