Anybody using them ?

I need to buy some shares not in the FNB basket.

Thanks

I have an account with them, but I wouldn't suggest putting any serious money into them.

Use a different product from FNB (Share Investor), or a reputable broker

I use EE to play around with individual stocks.

Like JStrike said though, I wouldn't put serious money into it.

Have a look at ABSA Stockbrokers, FNB Share Investor, PSG Online, etc for a "proper" trading/investing platform.

Gt247 is legit though? Been around for a good while, more of a day trading platform though?
Going short rather than long?

I was talking about EE specifically.

Oh FFS not another thread!!

I am in the process of moving everything from EE to ABSA Stockbrokers.

There were a number of artificial trading limitations that prevented me from making a killing on Lonmin a couple of weeks ago and their weak official feedback did nothing to reassure me.
My feeling is that they are trading against their customers, which is unethical to say the least.

I could, for example only ever trade in small increments ~R6000 regardless of available funds.
If the share price spiked or dropped, the platform would make it impossible to trade.

Thanks to all the useful forum members that took the trouble to reply.

Thoughts noted and maybe will use a normal broker.
