A good move by Sterling but I hope the NSE and CMA don't squelch it!
When shares prices tumbled for no good reason [think the 30-50% drop of banking stocks in 2016] I wish I could have had access to such a facility.

Most margin traders FAIL! This is a move by a firm to maximize on trading fees, interest from monies lent, which they then take again from hapless traders. Should be quashed until legislature is in place. Saidia Wanjiku

Between trading blue chips on margin and trading cryptos, which do you prefer?

You and Mukiri want regulations for margin trading but tell people to invest in cryptos which are not regulated. I can't

Is Wanjiku being forced to use margin? NO.
Even Sterling would be circumspect and provide the facility to better clients. BTW, 1bn isn’t a lot... Consider that’s only (approx) 35mn Safcom shares, 20mn Equity/KCB, 666,666 Kurwitu ;-)

If 1bn is spread amongst the 5 most liquid counters then it’s a negligible 200mn per counter.

Wanjiku is already doing margin trading. Typically she borrows from Mshwari places multi-bets on sports pesa. Why not allow Wanjiku place bets on something safer like stocks...
