I also woudnt recommend Dyer . Staff are just lazy.Plain and simple.I mean gettin service is just a hustle.U can queue at he their offices until u collapse. Yani somebody better pull them out into the 21 century...And YES they have preferential treatment for the big boys thus you w/ ur small money u come last.And yes ur orders will be taken by a management trainee who still think we are in a bear market coz prices have stagnated since January !!!!!!!!!!!

D&B IS A NO NO NO NO NO NO NO ....

Forget the "most reliable stockbroker"... Wazuans are the center of NSE stock expertise. Young Money!

The question should be:

"How does the top Wazuan get a seat on the exchange?"

That's a real question. There are experts on this site. How would one of them go about getting their own brokerage instead of relying on "who and who" that's been around since the sixties.

You all are in the unique position to build an East African Wall Street. Think BIGGER.

In the US, you have to get your series 7 and 63 to deal securities. What is the Kenyan equivalent and does anyone here have it?

You'll make that money back. Focus on the finish line. That money could be raised via investors.

When they demutualize the NSE we'll be able in one way or the other control how the 'controllers' do things coz we'll also be able to have a piece of the NSE and with it a say!

I base it on the fact that brokerage houses exist. They wouldn't exist if they didn't make money. They make money via fees. If someone is doing it, you can do it. I like this dialog. It is good to bring up the barriers and issues, so long as we figure out ways to bring them down.

Well remember, Mike Milken made billions of dollars off of junk bonds, so I have much love for junk! I'm sure that in Kenya's large informal economy, that there are quite a few junk-rated (lacking a formal credit rating) investments that have huge returns. I want more junk! As long as I have an hand in the operations.

I would do 10 years in prison standing on my head wearing Gucci pumps and an ankle chain for one-hundred sixty billion shillings, which is what Milken made. But I myself digress. That's two billion dollars. I could build a 400-lane water desalinization plant in Mombasa, the world's largest wind farm in Turkana, a huge Geothermal plant in the Rift Valley, and ten lanes of fiber from the sea to Nairobi, Eldoret, Kisumu, and Nakuru with that kind of money, give it all away to Kenyans for FREE, and still have more money than I could spend in my lifetime from the interest.

Mike Milken is a hero.

With Milken's money any broker in town will be reliable! That's the final answer.

@QD; Sounds musical! In case you didn't have access to yesters DN, there will be a special article in friday's BD Africa on online trading.
