as a regular trader in psx, i can confirm the following ;-
1. index ( the cumulative market cap of companies ) aka the 'money' in the stock mkt has been falling since aug 18' . index is hovering around 31k support from the 45k level last year in august
to summarize , money is exiting the system .
2.volumes are at an all time low
trade volume, ( the number of stock being traded daily ) was around 250 - 300 million per day in 2017 .
its barely 100 million these days . foreign buying is non existant
reasons= inflation, dollar hike, uncertainty
mkt is in firm bear grip and is expected to fall another 4-5k points to settle around 25k .
could be a good buying time if we are left with any economy so as to speak
@blueazure I wish I could do some stock trading in PSX how can people do it from overseas
When I open a account in betting site I can put a bet on sports game in few hours
can I open a investment stock-trading account from over seas?
Ease of access to trading is also important
Pakistani Financial Side is struggling because people with money can't do business easily with Pakistan
I need a system to register an account in 20 minutes and have a running account may be 1 day delay for submission of documents for checks but 1 days should be it to open online account to do any trading in Pakistan , while living abroad
NORTH AMERICA ( I THINK)
In North America their are some indirect indexes

MSCI Emerging Index however I have not gone that route yet they only invest in few selected companies may be 8-10 companies vs any company of my choice

Their is no money going in other companies because their stock is not part of major index which foreign based Pakistani can buy few stocks in every week
Pakistan's 74% focus is on Agriculture and not 1 company is from AGRICULTURE SECTOR
Normally you have option to invest in sectors
- Banking
- Insurance
- Oil and Gas
- Electricity Companies
- Manufacturing
- Food Manufacturing
- Food Franchises
- Sports Companies
- IT companies
- Ship building Sector
- Dams / Water / Solar Plants Management companies
- Steeles Sector
- Railways
- Airlines & Aviation
If you give me option for 6-7 companies I have no interest in why would I invest in such a index ?
What I need as investor
- I need options
- I need quick account creation
- I need quick withdrawal back to my foreign country when I make profit
PSX made this fantastic site but they did not explain how a average Pakistani can open trading account (Local Pakistan / Foreign Pakistani)
