In light of poor market conditions, volumes have and perhaps would continue to stay low. Boutique houses, with their small customer bases and lack of economies of scale might not be able to stand up to larger pure brokerage houses which, inspite of getting hit, will survive and prosper in the next bull run.<BR/><BR/>Which individual broker can offer a 0.1-0.15% brokerage on delivery transactions?<BR/><BR/>But I agree, that investors should be vary of brokers who trade themselves.Shashank Jogihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04550600679244620379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149152227980228556.post-71922745728111412932008-09-26T15:01:00.000+05:302008-09-26T15:01:00.000+05:30Dear Sudarshan<BR/>What shud we understand by the term<BR/>" BROKER SPONSORED BY A BANK". Does bank take any guarantee for the broker or what it means? <BR/> It seems that in India if there will be effect of this crisis on the financial sector then the ones<BR/>that wud be in limelight wud be icici and hdfc. In fact Mr. Kamath and their other senior persons have appeared 2/3 back on cnbc assuring<BR/>soundness of their bank, and admitting that some customers in chennai wanted their money. To what extent can we rely on these banks? Because in these times of liquidity crisis, when there is a run on banks, it is more fatal, exactly like when the doomsday comes only a small quantiity of shares sold r eneough to bring the bulls to their knees.<BR/>I am looking for a change of my brokers as they give too many advises and I feel they take good advantage out of it. I trade via broadband internet.<BR/>Cud u pls suggest some names from the two categories you have pointed out, I am stationed at kanpur.<BR/>RegdsKaushalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11428708843789854853noreply@blogger.com
