    Madume, I wish to know whether an investor is able to trade online through a broker, meaning that the trader buys the shares themselves. The shares are then deposited into the account immediately after the trade?

      You can trade your shares through broker. You can only commission broker to sell for you, you don't have the freedom to wake up and start trading right off. You must pass through a broker.

      If you want a complete control over your assets like buying any time of the day and selling whenever price is high to take out your profits, I would suggest to start small small investing in cryptocurrency. Keep an eye on the small coins (Altcoins).

      While there is no gainsaying the fact that Crypto is volatile, you can monitor movement on your app and start will little money.

      Would like to start today, WhatsApp+2348027024054.

      You need a custodian account with a Botswana market dealer to buy shares from outside the country. Or you can check with your local banks if they offer depositary receipt services for listed shares on the Botswana exchange.

      Sometimes there is a delay in the data feed from our providers. However, in this case, it got updated just before I could post this.
