I know that feeling of despair and desperation...most local "indigenous" mburokas are just wakoras in suits,they just care about your cheque nothing more.

I have dealt with 6 different brokers and found Africa Alliance and Genghis to be satisfactory for online orders...lakini not excellent atleast they try.

Drummond Investment Bank....Very fast with quick response to emails. Love them.

I have used 4 brokers over years and find that Genghis Capital to be the best so far. You can trade online and you get sms and email alerts when your trade has been executed. They execute orders on the day the order is made and the customer service is also good.

Nobody should ever use D&B . Rather not trade/invest. They are an embarassment to the investment banking business. Really.

See what I mean. Nobody should ever step into D&B . They are dangerous. I have no idea what racket they are running there. Its a shame, I always thought Jimnah Mbaru was a professional.

i'm giving D&B half a year to get back their online trading

@Guru..no idea.. but it sucks. anyway. Standard Investment bank is were i've ended up.
I don't care much for brokers though..just need there services to do my thing..n i don't expect much. after all, for all there hustle i do pay transaction fee which apparently they share with cma, cdcs n nse.
maybe the 5k is a new way of getting more from the investors.. its just wrong.

I am trade with Genghis Capital.My 1st account was with D&B but after the Safaricom I.P.O things have really changed and i was frustated and moved on.Their unrealibility especially with payments was an issue and online trading platform.I moved on never looked back.Things are good here.

@mBiaLoss

I have been with D&B for a very loooong time now. They r not PERFECT but I find them very ok.I am also outside Kenya. Have been sending my orders thru mail and they r all been executed accordingly. Only last Friday I got one done!

Can u tell us how u place ur orders?

This is how I do it.
1.send mail to shares@dyerandblair.com
2.State clearly in my mail that am outside the country and can not report to their office to place orders.
3.state clearly my order (quoting the exact prices I want)and the period the orders should last for.
4.finish my mail with my name account #, csd acnt#, Nomura accont number and my contacts.

Believe me it never takes more than a week for the order to be done.

mimi apana fanya kazi kwao. I know how it feels when u r outside and can't control ur money. This is just a help just try it might work.
I know time is important when executing orders BUT since u have clearly stated ur prices I dont see u loosing anything even if the order is executed a day or two latter.

D&B if full of bull crap, as most company believe the 'customer is the king' they seem to think otherwise. It's almost a year since the online thing went kaput but they don't care! As soon as I am back in kenya i'll be moving out too.For those whose e-mail orders go through waht is the secret?????????
