wondering why i got the same email when my account isn't dormant.


Investing in stocks without doing the homework that lets you arrive at a fair estimate of the value of business it represents,is like buying a house without ever having stepped inside.

What suprises me is that I have never heard of such rule in a stock broking account anyway in the world not to talk of the nomura nominee account I maintain with them as a non resident foreigner.

Besides bank accounts world wide is dormant after 6 months of inactivity not 3 months as what they specify.

My fear is that I hope other stock broking firm will not take a cue from them,and bring all sort of conditions.

I do not believe any stockbroker should dictate how often you transact on your account.

I am waiting and watching,might be to move my portfolio there to Faida. when next I come to Nairobi.

Smart way to ensure that they keep receiving the commisions. Dormant clients dont transact..translating in no commision to the broker.

Its about time..

D&B online system is a nightmare,it is meant for the undiscerning investor.You have to make an order before 9.00am at best price(usually executed at the lowest price of the day) for that order to be executed the same day.Specified price orders are usually ignored.So when you spot a trend forming you cant act decisively to profit from it due to the inefficiency of the system.What investors want is fast executions of orders,nothing more.T+4 trading is a big joke.D&B UP YOUR GAME!!!!

Well thats just me,others may be comfy with it so no ones being forced.
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

@sheep. I'm comfy! Which is ur better alternative. @young. I understood the message to refer to online acc. Why would u've an online acc and not trade for 3 months? Ur shares will still be with them and u can write them an email to place orders.

This means that D & B wants to make money from dormant accounts by charging heavily on re-activation charges - someting like KES 300-1000 per re-activation.

What can happen during the period the A/C is deactivated?

Otherwise why would the deactivation/re-activation be required? They want to force us to sell (or buy?),even when one does not need to do it.

This is ridiculous. Maybe time to move out of that place!

@soko... It is only online services(infact making orders and EFT payments request) that will be de-activated. Who said there will be payments for re-activation? Pkoli. What's the site for AA?

@jerry

use their agents and make sure you know one personally and also have their day contacts.The transactions are reflected on the online system hence no fraud can take place.

Dyer and Blair should be aware that the world economy is yet to recover from the recession so for clients having accounts with them this is another unnecessary burueacracy being laboured on them as with the Kenyan economy being in the state that it is in most people have very little savings .

The three month duration isnt for ordinary/average kenyans.

I think all of you are misunderstanding their intentions. No one can deactivate your cds a/c. What they are referring to is the online a/c. Why have a system where maybe majority of those registered dont utilise the system ? I think its a good idea.

@Pkoli

My advise as per NSE iis ........stay with the blue chips like EABL,KCB,ARM,Barclays

Other markets are bound to recover faster than African markets because they are more dynamic and coupled with the various stimuli to jump start their economies. The only exception in africa is JSE (South Africa).
