Trading in the nse does not favor traders who only profit on a one directional price movement.short selling should be introduced alongside more financial instruments.whats your take?

Lets first wait for the demutualization of the bourse,if it ever happens.FYI brokers in kenya are simply gambling cartels masked as professional outfits.Its their belief that the duty of an investor is to continually put money in stocks and leave the other "complicated" stuff to them no wonder most of them collapse.

They simply cant compete with the smart foreigners,who always leave them holding monkeys.If you have been observant foreigners once again raided the NSE at 2200 and have supported it since,and when the locals start the buying frenzy sending the index to new heights they will look for an opportune time to once again leave us holding them monkeys,damn!

@mwanafunzi.. after the demutualization and the listing of a few more companies the NSE plans to introduce derivatives and stock futures trading to the market(cant wait)...

Lets be patient.. the market is still too young and too illiquid for what you are talking about... i think in africa only the JSE trades in stock futures and derivatives

fortunately u can price options even in illiquid stocks, guess u cud theoretically price any counter i think u wud hav to tweak the black scholes model to recognize ur inability to short sell

hehehe short squeeze on an option?how?
