Title: Trading Stocks in Bitshares DEX
Post by: logart on April 03, 2017, 12:33:54 am
When this is going to be possible? With BITusd and Stocks that will surely increase marketcap, all traders love stocks.

I wouldn't say that a MPA fits for STOCK .. much nicer would be if companies were listed directly on BitShares :)

How would that look like?

Erm .. a user-issued asset that is managed by the company itself in compliance with local and international regulations.

Ok, that's what I thought.

Yeah, it has crossed my mind :)

I remember that this was the goal , at least this was mentioned to me, looks like this is laid to rest for the time
why would I have to set this up, is this not for DEX to do

But MPA is a perfect fit for a bundle of stocks, like ETFs.

exactly, an ETF world index is a nice start for anyone interested in stocks.

Yes, I have always thought that the basic ETFs (SP500, NASDAQ, NYSE, etc) should be available in Bitshares .. I'm willing to write some articles on this alternative way to get in on ETF investing.

One concern is, are there legit real-time price feeds for these? iirc most/all that was available some time ago was delayed by 10 or 15 mins .. could be wrong.

If is delayed it would be useless.

Indeed.

So this is an obvious pre-requisite. Does anyone know of real-time redundant feeds for these?
