I would like to know which stockbrokers/investment banks have an online web portal where retail investors can in real time buy/sell shares,look at their portfolio stock and cash balances and display real time stocks quotes.

Also the broker should offer such services free of charge without monthly/yearly maintenance fees.

I have been trying to transfer my portfolio from my current broker to Suntra and for the last 2 months they havent effected the transfer.Total jokers

I am with SBG since the brokerage collapse of 2008-2009. I lost some money in Solid Investments at that time so I decided to move operations from Solid and Suntra to SBG (then CFC Stanbic Stock Brokerage Services) which was the only brokerage backed by a bank then.

Served me well as a retail trader save for sporadic system breakdowns.

Downsides are:

Firstly,they don't deal directly with retail investors. You either engage one of their unreliable agents or trade on the online platform yourself.

Secondly, they don't share their research with retail traders. You do your own research or rely on other sources.

Their customer service on issues like payments and unlocking accounts is very good since they mostly deal with corporate clients.

Genghis Capital is the best

I cannot trust a broker that was associated with Chase Bank

I will try Suntra

Equity is cost cutting and winding businesses where they have failed to capture market share and are loss making

Try sib. Online perfect. Though their staff are not optimized.
