Do Not Punish Investors


Trading should not stop. ( 331 Companies to Trade only once a month -i.e. First Monday of each Month ).


This means punishing the hapless Investors who have no role in running the affairs of the Company.

SEBI / Govt, should first solve the issue of Non Trading of Shares which were earlier Exclusively Listed in , now closed , Regional Stock Exchanges.

Then there is issue of Metropolitan Stock Exchange.

Many small cap gems like Frick India are listed exclusively in Metropolitan Stock Exchange. No share trading is taking place in Metropolitan Stock Exchange causing immense problem to the Investors.

SEBI must ensure regular trading in Metropolitan Stock Exchange and help small Investors.

We are thankful to SEBI for helping investors of original Exclusively Listed Companies which were earlier listed in , now , closed Regional Stock Exchanges.

Around 190 such Exclusively Listed Companies are , now , Exclusively Listed in Metropolitan Stock Exchange , Mumbai

( Examples Frick India, Dalmia Refractories, John Oakey and Mohan )

This is creating great difficulty to small investors regarding liquidity.

Please direct Metropolitan Stock Exchange to commence trading in shares.

Calcutta Stock Exchange - SEBI Should Declare it Defunct
PNB Finance and Camac Commercial are Listed in CSE.

But there is no trading in these shares.

Promoters should not take the plea that shares are Listed.

Public Shareholders' interests are supreme, always.
