Could CMA end up doing something similar to what has been done in Nigeria? Do we have local businesses offering similar services?

Nigeria’s SEC warns investment platforms to stop trading ‘unregistered’ foreign securities


Hmm, very interesting...

CMA needs to get their act together and promote the development of infrastructure to allow Kenyans cheap and easy access to global markets IMHO.

There's so much potential locally! And how can this IFC project succeed if we don't shift ourselves from the margins of the global financial system...?
If you think you can you're right; if you think you can't you're right.

Last year I tried to get some futures contracts for an agonizing 6 weeks and I could not. There just was no enough supply (people in interested in going short so that I can go long). The only stock that I could go long was safcom for a contract expiring in dec and priced too expensive. Maybe I am missing something here. But how will you day trade in this market with such poor liquidity. And I was actually offering a very good price of 360 when the BAT was trading 340.

Looking at the lackluster NSE and wondering how low.
On Friday, the NSE20 closed at 1680, which is the same level it was in March 2003, 20 years ago. And more haircuts on the way as we approach election day.
Was doing some talk to some college students 3 years ago and they would have none of the NSE, T+4 analogue stuff. All they wanted to hear were brands like Tesla, Netflix, Google, Apple, Microsoft. They seemed unaware/disinterested in brands like Equity Bank, Safcom and EABL.
and i realised that our young folks moved on long time ago. They are trading indices like US30, stocks like Teslas,Apple and other international stocks on local Forex brokers like EGM Securities popularly known as FXPesa and Hisa App. and they are making some USDs while at it.
What's more, onboarding is soo fast and everything is soft. no paper work, No T+4 nonsense,no waiting for 1 week to get our funds back after selling,instant payment on Mpesa upon closing a trade, your funds reflect instantly upon funding by Mpesa, very low commissions compared to the NSE where stocks have to go up by 4.3% above your purchase price for you to break even....day trading, short selling, variety of asset classes eg currencies, stocks, commodities and lastly indices.
Should you feel bored with our local, slow, sometimes clueless NSE, please take time and go through the FXPesa website below:
https://www.fxpesa.com/h...=3828&affid=0014187

I conclude by saying that the final goal of every trader is freedom!

To put things into perspective, during the GFC, DJIA (US30) hit a low of 6469 on March 6th 2009 while our very own NSE20 hit a low of 2360. Fast forward to 2021 and the Dow is currently at 33,400 (up 5 fold) while our NSE20 is at 1864(much lower than the GFC low.
This is the trajedy of the 3rd world....no Govt stimulus to SMEs, zero focus on the NSE by CBK as opposed to FED in the US which intervenes every now and then....to protect wanjiku's pension, no tax incentives, GoK crowding you out through an insatiable appetite for loans through T/Bonds(currently there is an IFB which is very attractive. The last IFB issued in Jan(w/tax free has a coupon of 12.257%) etc etc..


NSE20 down another 200 points since i last wrote this.The 2360 GFC print now looks unattainable in the short term, more like a dream!

Are there Wazuans active in the ETF space? How does one buy Vanguard ETFs from Kenya?

Initial research suggests that one can access them through the broker xtb. Anyone with experience with them?
If you think you can you're right; if you think you can't you're right.
