President gives a patient hearing to brokers Monday, 28 November 2011 15:33
Colombo Stock Brokers Association (CSBA) met with the president in the morning to communicate their grievances about the present situation of the Colombo Stock Exchange. According to Sriyan Gurusinghe, Head of CSBA, the president gave a patient hearing to their requests and overall the meeting was positive.

“There were three main requests from us. They were to remove the 10 per cent price band and introduce circuit breakers, allow brokers to give credit three times of their net capital and permit foreign brokers to engage in margin trading,” Gurusighe told DM Online. He also said that following the meeting, they are expecting a positive outcome in the near future.

CSBA officials are meeting with the officials of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) tomorrow to communicate the same requests to them, Gurusinghe said.

“It is likely that a positive announcement will reach the market after this meeting,” a market source told DM Online. (IS)

3 requests :

1) remove the 10 per cent price band and introduce circuit breakers

I am for it after looking at how the price band itself was manipulated.

2) allow brokers to give credit three times of their net capital

Credit if given has to be managed well. Else Yes it will form another bubble. Guys Credit itself is not bad.
It becomes bad when it is abused by clients and not managed well by brokers. If given it needs to
be monitored with clear guidelines , deadlines ,incentives/punishments both from client and broker side.
I already made a proposition on credit before elsewhere.

Danger will happen if people will again use it to buy crap and gamble inflating the market. Some people never learn.
Yet others would have learn their lessons. Today uptrend was dominated again by speculatives. Can;t say it was the greatest of starts but we can;t expect the market to be perfect when there are so many how bought spec at high price.

We need to be happy that a dangerous dry spell took a momentary stop atleast. Else we were running into a great risks of possibly wiping out many retailers.

Let see whether it will change soon and hope for the best.

3) "permit foreign brokers to engage in margin trading,”
Hmm,this needs to be looked at but, but looking at lower foreign interest rates it might be positive factor for some.

So is this the way the conversation went?
Some brokers go to see the President.
Broker: This is the first demand...
President: Granted
Broker: This is the second demand...
President: Granted
Broker: This is the third demand...
President: Granted
Brokers come out say everything OK.

Nope. I don't think President is that foolish. In a situation like this a person would say 'I'll consider' and talk with the SEC, CSE etc. You don't take decisions like that in hours. From the new reports we see the President has told the brokers to get foreign investors. That is giving a dash to their side. You think President will know what a price band is, how it's put and its advantages, failures? You think President just agreed to everything
these money hungry brokers demand?

On second thought, is that really what happened? Rolling Eyes
