SEC Appoints Market Makers


The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has confirmed that it has approved the applications of Greenwich Trust Limited, Chapel Hill Advisory Limited and Diamond Capital & Financial Market Limited as market makers.
Market makers are wholesale operators who ensure that there is liquidity in the stock market by either buying shares when there is a glut or selling shares when there is scarcity.
The decision to introduce them into the Nigerian capital market was reached last August as part of the recovery measures to stem the persistent fall in the share prices at the stock market.
SEC’s Head of Media, Mr. Lanre Oloyi, had penultimate week disclosed that the Commission had begun the registration of market makers. He said the approval process of three out of the 15 applications, had reached advanced stage, promising to made the names available as soon as the final approval were granted.
Oloyi who, spoke to THISDAY on the telephone yesterday, said: “The Commission has approved Chapel Hill, Greenwich Trust Limited and Diamond Capital & Financial Market Limited as market makers. Other applications are still under consideration.”
The news of the appointment was welcome by some operators who said it would help to boost the stability that is gradually returning to the market.
“Although the market is not as bad as it was a few weeks ago, the activities of the market makers would go a long way to stabilise the market more,” a stockbroker said.
According to guidelines of SEC, a market maker shall be a company duly registered with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and shall have a minimum paid-up capital of N2 billion.
They are required to at all times maintain sufficient liquid assets to cover its current indebtedness.
Obligations of the market maker include: stabilisation of the market by ensuring continuous liquidity by synchronising buy and sell transactions of a security; operate within the established transaction spread (that is bid/offer spread), which shall be a maximum limit of three per cent and subject to review from time to time.
Also, the market maker will have the capacity for continuous two-way quotes in the relevant stocks through the trading session in a minimum quote size of 100,000 units of shares and must have the capacity to deliver and settle transactions within the prescribed settlement cycle of T+3.
They must equally have the capacity to lend and borrow the designated securities at any time, with a view to ensuring stability in the market.

good result for us but all due to fab4's quick thinking

denilson n song should be shipped off as they lack initiative on the ball
rvp was a bit selfish today hoarding passes,

vela/ramsey /wiltshere were fantastic

gallas made 3 catastrophic errors(through his leg, passing to blangura n blocking a gol bound shot)
djourou,clichy were good in defence but bendtner's goal was pure class

Denilson's enthusiasm and work rate are good but he tends to give away possesion all too often,Song didn't do badly he played in an akward position.Which ram did you see,sorry ,which ramsey was fantastic?the guy was just too wasteful and there was no bite and purpose to his play.
As for Gallas,every other thing considered(especially those bordering on the psychological),I'll let him be

Almunia's only error was that he went down too early on Bangoura's shot arising from Gallas's slip-up,but he more than made up for it with that superb block

Jack wilshere(now why would he bear wheelchair,hope it won't portend an injury that might confine him to the wheelchair,what with all the Taylors of this world still marauding the EPL ) did not play long enough for me to fairly assess him

On a final note,someone please tell FAB4 not to wear the captain's arm band upside down(but if that's the way he needs to wear it to come up with those witty quick-thinking killer passes,then by all means FAB4 wear the freaking arm band inside out )

A-40:
Cesc was wonderful tonight that guy is a quarter-back see that pass he gave to Bendtner for goodness sake

Part of the reason I'd been rooting for him to be the Capo,who else can deliver those pin-point long range passes in the team

Dynamo Kiev
Hope you've learnt ur lessons;NEVER SWITCH OFF ON DROP BALLS,else you'll fall for a sucker punch

The goal reminds me of Maradona's quick 29th minute free kick  29th minute against Nigeria in USA 94. The captain of Argentina saw Caniggia break into a space on the left while he was getting ready to take the free kick and feathered a short pass in Caniggia's path, who in turn cooly  telegraphed the ball to the upper right corner of the goal with a swerving shot and Rufai had no answers.Then I was @ the receiving end of the smart move,oh how good it feels now to switch ends 

A-40:
Well i am happy we won but we where piss poor this team is really in shambles and bojangles right now we need something to spark us up[b] even the so-called sexy football is not being played anymore[/b]

If we have to dump the concept of "sexy" football in order to get results,so be it

Hi all,who's your favourite September baby & what christmas presents are you planning to give 'em

Arsenal DESPERATE to sign £8m SOLID England international!

According to this source, Wenger is very keen indeed to bring this former Arsenal man back to the club!


WEST Ham boss Gianfranco Zola is facing the biggest battle of his fledgling managerial career as he tries to hang on to rising England star Matthew Upson.

Arsenal are desperate to re-sign the centre-half in January with former skipper William Gallas set to leave the club after publicly criticising his team-mates. (Sunday Express)

Gianfranco Zola will be very unhappy to see any of his star players leave, but given the financial crisis at the club, it may well be impossible to avoid. If Wenger is really considering bringing back England international Upson back to the club, then I am sure the former Luton man (who spent six years at the north London club) would surely jump at the chance. I think the centre back is one of the few players that Arsene has released during his tenure at the club who he could have let leave a little too hastily. Arguably at his peak the 29-year-old will not come cheap, even with the problems at West Ham, and the figure of £8m has been mentioned, but would still be a good signing at that price

Now that Gallas will surely leave come January,which CB will y'all like him to buy as a BETTER replacement?

@ All Scummies,

Don't worry,we'll do y'all a favour and dent Stamford bridge the more
What are those Chavs feeling like?

~Sauron~:
Fab4 as Arsenal's captain?? Wenger is a dolt!!!
Toure, Silvestre, Eboue, Sagna and Van Persie are better off.
Cesc can be immature, petulant and rash sometimes.

Sharrap dia,what do you know about leadership quality
Van persie ko,Van Barsten ni

In all of this hooplah,at least Arsene got it right this time around,I feel personally vindicated.I bet you Cesc woulda left in January if tha arm band was yet anutha oui oui(apologies myself2) as there's no other player better prepared and suited for the job,even the players like and respect him more than any other member of the team I dare say.The feeling of exasperation which he had will now fade away & the FAB4 of last season is about to be unleashed.
However it's not yet uhuru as this good move by AW is not an end in itself but a means to an end of restoring confidence to the team to churn out results and restore the respect,glory and honour of Arsenal which presently are @ their lowest ebbs.
So for Arsene,it's on egood step down,@ least 3 more to go by January

Go Cesc,give the battle cry and lead the charge

@ Sharon, The seeming inability of Wenger to get the team out of the trophyless abyss and doldrums has absolutely nothing to do with his rivalry with AF.It's more to do with the failure of Wengernomics;an ill-executed experiment of not spending money to buy quality f'ballers & hoping to win the EPL with cheap academy products.In the glory days of Arsenal,I don't recall a squad we paraded that had an average age less than 20.AW actually matched & was one better AF on head to head of wins when he was fielding older players,so if it was all about AF,AW woulda continued his status quo ante.In a nutshell Arsene is just a fuddy-duddy who's too proud to admit the failure of his wengernomics,which has finally resulted in a fatal implosion.

A-40:
Gallas did not make himself captain Arsene did

And he did a lotta other bullcrap before and during the transfer window,I wonder how he's feeling right now,watching his world collapse before his very eyes

Myself2:
Hello Rasp

Hellooooooooooo to you too,I know u're good

debosky:
Wenger runs Arsenal like a cult, you almost never know what is truly going on behind closed doors.

Now see where that,hispride and stubborness have landed us,fighting so hard for a third place finish in the league
I sure hope AW is having a good time presently cz no matter how you look @ it,he's the architect of the quagmire we've found ourselves in

Mustay:
I've always said that these french guys always have problem speaking 'english'. From Drogba to Anelka to Cissè to Gallas now! His own gibberish has finallY landed him in trouble. His uncontrollable attitude also irritated JM.

I agree but is that the reason why Gallas talks and acts like he's got his medula in his anus?
Gallas has been a legendary whiner in his short spell,spewing girl-pants gibberish
I just hope we put up a good display today and possibly get the max. points,that'll surely boost the morale of the team

s4d:

dayokanu:
Gallas sacked as club captain

That is an evidence that Wenger is an idiot!!!!

Bendtner would have been the ideal captain but he does not speak French

And for suggesting that Bendtner be made captain, your intelligence is no better than that of a retarded cockroach

Who's DK branding an idiot?

Gallas out,FAB4 in
AW better hand the captaincy over to Fabregas b4 the guy leaves as all the rucus in the team of late has made him unable to give his all
That sure will bring back the old Fabregas I used to know with 7 goals and 19 assists

I say Fabregas for captain

The disrobing of Bill Gallas is a massive loss of a massive whiner,now AW see what you've done,whose gonna be whining for us eh?

TJW14 to be out for three months It sure keeps getting better and better
