Personified; he is an authorised clerk
A dealing member of the stock ex-
change
Institutionalised; as a firm tradition
on securities
All on behalf of investors
For the brokerage commission.
To the NSE, the authorised clerk
On the trading floor, the authorised
bargainer
To the investor, an adviser
To the firm hoping for listing
On the exchange, the Messiah
He has the knack of the financial
instruments
Educated, trained and selfless
Reliable, respectable and responsible
Imaginative, creative and knowl-
edgeable
Trustworthy, confident and dedi-
cated
An elite of the financial community
The saint among the financial opera-
tors.
Ibrahim Isa Abbas
