Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to persuade the Chairman to kindly substitute “December” with “end of June”. This is because that conforms with the financial year for most institution. Most of the traders in the market that we are talking about close their books any time between May and June. That will give us some consistence. While at it, I want to persuade the Chairman, through the Chair, to also address the issue of taxation. As it is, we are chasing away investors from our country because of the taxation mode that we have come up with. We are taxing money in the stock market. I need to engage the Chairman a little bit on this, so that we can get some concurrence on how best this can be addressed."}
