@jerry...BAT books closed on 27th March 3pm. Meanin trade open till that time...same way way Equity books close 18th march 4pm thus open for trade all day. Closin books means 'freezin all shares as they are to verify who owns them at that time hence entitled dividends or any other benefit..split,bonus,rights etc.

I agree with you Jammo. Ecs 11.2 Give portions to seven,yes to eight,for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

.....how about T+4....? Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

T+4...when u buy shares...transfer and settlement from seller..plus verification that the shares being transfered to u hav no ownership drama..takes 3days..then on 4th day the shares are legally by all means yours to do with as u please.. Very crucial thing..i remember when i started out i was so jittery about holdin on to jubilee i put in sell order...a day later put a sell order again..sold same shares twice!! I also bought into kq..next day..put the order again...for money worth 1buy!! The drama wasn't fun! The rule acts to prevent 'mistakes by ignorance'..n probable fraud!

@virji..
KCB price jana was 19.00... This is 'value' that the buyers,sellers,traders of the day agreed was most appropriate for the worth the share offers..including dividend of sh1.00
if u went to buy today at sh19.00 and found that u wouldn't get the dividend..since u weren't in KCB's register yesterday..why should u pay 19bob?..may be lower.
Usually befor the bookclosure..the counter experiences a seller's market..where the sellers determin the price after all..they r actually sellin the dividend factor only..
After book closure...the counter becomes a buyers market...the ones buyin determine the price...why buy at 19 yet i'm not gettin the dividend? Thus why KCB is likely to drop marginally on tuesday May 12...to adjust for loss of dividend to those who missed buyin befor 11th may.
Speculation enters thus..market will always correct itself..if share value drops with loss of dividend...market price has to reflect it..but within the same margin as loss of dividend hav on actual value or share..for we speculators..if u notice drop in market price to wide compared to actual apparent loss in value..we so buy like idiots on crack! Eg..fall to 15bob yet all other value factors remained constant or growing..market will sure correct this upwardly!!...makin a few cents in the process..eg..those who bought Equity at 11.50bob on thursday 16th April..compare to those rushin to buy now!...better yet to those who sold off between 6th and 7th at 17-19.50 bob and are buyin now. It's called makin money while guys are arguing the merits or lack there off of Eddie mundu's massacre thread.... Heh! Heh! Heh.

@jammo. Kindly tell us about PROMPT BOARD including how to qualify to place orders there. I hope it is not reserved for a certain class. Ecs 11.2 Give portions to seven,yes to eight,for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

jerry... shares trade in lot sizes of 100 and multiples there of. However once in a while due to corporate action such as rights issues..bonus issues..ipos,spos..etc...u get allocated odd lots..eg minimum applications of kenya re got 456 shares...i think... Thus should u want to sell all..u'd sell 400 on normal board...the 56 would be sold through the prompt board. Prices on prompt board are usually different from normal board..since it's not normal to find someone buyin odd lots!! In most cases brokers buy these..n once odd lot shares are accumulated to normal lots..multiples of 100 ..they can be traded on normal board.

@Jammo. I actually thought PROMPT board was for large volumes of shares where terms r clearly defined(like cash assured .. .) and hence take less time to settle. Poor me. I actually sold 12 KENGEN and 79 KenRe yesterday after a long time of persistently making SELL orders online with D&B. Thanks jammo.

on T+4; the point I wanted to highlight was that if registered closes today - 23rd Apr - (for processing of divs etc),then only those whose purchase orders were executed four business days ago - i.e.,17th April - can be included in the div etc payout. Those who bought yesterday are buying XD Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

the board jammo reffers to is the ODD board,usually ignored in most of the NSE's statistics computations. PROMPT board is more or less a NORMAL board with T+1 settlemnt. You can ask your broker to 'sell prompt' when making your order (especially in these days of live info from NSE),however dealers can by discretion alter the PROMPTnes or NORMALness of an order
