Hey all, I am interested in buying shares. I am new at this and want some information. I am looking at having at least 2-3 portfolios. Questions:
1. How many shares can one buy in a company?
2.What is the best company to invest at the moment?

Thank you all, and wishing you a great morning.

1. How many shares can one buy in a company?

At the NSE, the minimum you can buy is 100 shares in any company of your choice, the maximum depends as follows;

- If a Local, you can buy 100% of the listed shares, i.e. ALL SHARES ON OFFER (AVAILABLE),

- if a foreigner (Non-East African), you can buy upto 75% of the company's shares, but exceptions are allowed on application e.g. Essar and Airtel. Rumour has it that this rule will be phased out soon.

2.What is the best company to invest at the moment?

The best company to invest in at the moment is the one that will give you maximum returns on your investment according to your PLAN! It would help if you could give us your budget, timelines and risk appetite!

Hope that helped. Happy Investing!

@Mclesie welcome. There is no reason why you shouldn't make big money. Thats the essence of investing right?

Wazuans are bold and post their portfolios, sales and purchases. You will see that people have made good money on some counters, up to 200% in some cases.

You will get advice, very good advice, good advice and not so good advice. It will take some time to sieve out the advice. Time you could spend practically investing and watching your money grow.

Thank you again. So another question, I have a CDS account, can I trade online? and if so, which sites offer this?
