Why broker hut owners are not allowed to trade shares?

Because if you own some share what would you tell your clients to buy or sell? This was an important rule put by Thilak to prevent broker hut owners buying and selling in shares for 6 months/ locking period. For example Capital Trust holdings owns large chunks of shares in questionable shares like TWOD, Echannel and Citrus hotel or something. (I can't remember which one Kalpitiya or Waskaduwa, But the food is very good and the rooms are very spacious. You should go there too (Warning: Sarcasm) ) Would the same broker hut advise the client to don't buy that share because it's not worth that much. Or what would they do when they won't to sell their shares? They would advise the clients that share is a value gem buy it (won't say because our broker hut owner wants to dump it)
This rule would prevent the broker hut owners pumping and dumping their portfolios to the clients who are advised by the same analyst / adviser what to buy or not buy. In professional terms you call it 'conflict of interest'. What would the SEC chairman appointed the brokers would do? Keep an eye on this. This could be removed secretly under cover from something else. This would only profit the broker huts to do their suduwa and harvest your money not only as broker fees but much more than that.

Among key proposals submitted by the CSBA were revision in credit rule especially the formula for computing the net capital, revisit the temporary restrictions placed on trading of shares by broking firms executive directors, employees, their spouses and their nominees, ways to deal with settlement failures if any, use of CRIB data to assess credit worthiness of clients, assistance to improve front-end and back-office infrastructure of brokers, expedite demutulisation process of the CSE, a formal consultative mechanism and a task force to prepare a capital market development roadmap.

Thilak used to say some brokers even put their BMW as a net asset in accounts.

Other proposals are all things to do with broker welfare

Just to open up the topic

U cant manage people by enforcing rules for every thing. SEC should improve the quality of their Watchdogs and systems. no point of making 1000 s of new rules to every thing.

And also their should be exceptions for each rule. As far as i know, there is no any exception for the above rule. This was introduced with anger and it was just a monopolistic decision making.So at least it should be amended.

If Gov. want to demotivate the Vehicle imports, what they do is impose a TAX. They dont prohibit the import at all. So in this case also what we need is a good governance system not a ruling machine. Any way to some extend, until the governance comes we should keep these rules as well[u]

hi AJ it is a fundamental violation of human rights causing for brokers when they are not to being able to sell when they want. All brokering firms have to send all account statements of all executive directors and employees in their monthly compliance report. Anywhere in the world stock brokers are allowed to buy and sell provided that it is disclosed. Lankan SEC's that is wrong and has to be withdrawn.

Also please understand that most brokering firm owners and directors are significant players in the market.If you take out the restrictions on them the market will significantly benefit.

How does an investment adviser advise their clients if the owner of the same broker hut play the same game where the result is (zerosum - broker charges) game.
Six month locking period would not prevent people from 'investing' but would prevent buying and dumping on their customers.
