If I were a broker I would be talking to the JSE to extend winter trading by 1h...

[SimonPB]

nah boet, if you was a client .. brokers liek the old days of 10-4 trading ..

[john_1]

YA we also like short days 9-12 on the agri sounds about right to my developing workless ethic.

haha... you guys and workless. i think the world should change and with the use of technology, electronic trading, etc. it should stay opened all the time... just imagine the cash brokers will make then, maybe smaller commissions as its all electronic, but 24/7... lol. just a thought... basically investing in the JSE and NYSE gives a very long session, quite awesome - from 09:00 to 23:00!

[SimonPB]

err, what is awesome about a 14 hour day .. sounds truely nasty to me .. a 14 minute week sounds awesome ..

[Werner_1]

ok, sorry my comment didnt work out well, if all is electronic and people make up a smaller part of retail brokerage (i guess more online trading) less real work needs to go into the system. i guess that is only for a small part... traders, asset managers might not like it...
