That is what all this SEC directive all about. Brokers should manage it properly without creating losses to the clients. They should properly distribute the credit among the clients and when they feel that the liquid level is not favorable, selling of the shares should be managed properly with minimum or no losses to the client. This is extra work and need some professionalism. But I feel this will not happen. Force selling will be carried out blindly.

This is my understand of this SEC credit directive. Am I right or wrong?

Yes agreed with you. but then there's no reason to boost the market. this will only helpful to minimize force selling & free-fall.

I think brokers want to get advantage out of us. That is why they have applied to SEC, but SEC has been wise not to allow these buggers to suck the poor investors hard earned money. Now brokers try to sell an idea that this is not enough to drive the market up as t+5 force selling is still applicable while some firms are lack of liquidity within the firm to allow credit.

So, please be wise not to trap your self with credit as well as of the quick upward run in the market because you have to pay price sooner or later.

The Best way is dont use credit. stick with your money... keep a safe limit.. 10% - 20% max when you use credit and always make sure you can pay and settle it IF something goes wrong.

brokers are culprits.

Actually
there’s no any credit facility. It’s only a small relief from T+5 force
selling. Better to stay away from the
credit. Even if anyone bought at credit better to settle ASAP.

iam agree with hawklk and CHASE. for me this rule is useless. SEC and CSE always trying to minimize there responsibilities and and try to put more responsibility on brokers. it is impossible to calculate liquid assert daily or monthly basis. So broker can easily force sell our shares saying they are not within required liquid assert level. As hawklk saying its like blind force selling. No one take legal action against broker firm coz of lack of information. So i dont understand why ppl jumping on this decision and trading hugely for credits. saddest thing is some ppl do trades for credits even without knowing exact meaning of the SEC decision. So this is not the time to be happy and do crazy buying. wait for ur brokers comments on this decision and understand the reality.

Before this SEC notification, it was compulsory for brokers to force-sell at T+5. Every day was a 'force selling day'. Eliminating the need for force-selling is the most significant benefit of the SEC's decision.

Important: All of us are not automatically entitled to credit beyond T+3.

Each of us needs to speak to our brokers and find out whether they are allowing us any extra credit (beyond the T+3). If so,
(a) What is my credit limit - Upto how much can buy?
(b) What is the credit period - Before how many days do I need to pay?
(c) What is the interest rate that will be charged?
(d) What will happen if I do not pay on time?

Yes Antonym, before we jump to water we should check how deep it is.
Dear All can you please share your broker name & their facilities for Antonym above questions. I gave the bartleet above.

I don't understand why small-time investors like us want to buy on credit and are prepared to pay an interest on it.
How are we supposed to make a profit with that line of thinking?
Why spend money that we don't have and risk everything?
