Wasn't the bourse computerized a while ago? <BR/><BR/>Or are the delays due to the limitations of clearing the funds?<BR/><BR/>Over here I have upto 3 days to send the check from the day my broker makes a purchase.

These guys are very shrewd businessmen. I don't doubt their ability to make money but I wouldn't trust them with my hard earned money.<BR/><BR/>What I would like to know is how much commissions does one pay to transact shares. I've never seen the numbers disclosed anywhere.<BR/><BR/>For some odd reason, I've always been disinterested with NSE. I bought into most of the IPO's in the 90's and I'm still holding on. Heck, I've never cashed in most of the dividend checks as I closed my kenyan bank accounts in 2001 after I realised my shillings were depreciating against the major currencies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1164285394250222032006-11-23T15:36:00.000+03:002006-11-23T15:36:00.000+03:00its hard work to not b anonymous, please accept an...its hard work to not b anonymous, please accept annonymous posts.
