Afribusiness: Africa Select- African securities

Africanselect was "Launched in 2006 with the goal to go beyond just creating an awareness of African Stock Markets but also offer a technologically advanced platform that allows African and international retail and corporate investors to take part in investment opportunities across the continent."
This business could be added to the likes of LiquidAfrica,and Africanlion.com.
The one question that has been raised during our team meeting was the following: how can such company leverage the aggregating power of social networks such as facebook,MyspaceAfrica,Afriville,Myafricasite,Edumela and Hi5 among others to reach out to the huge number of young african professionals and entice them to find interest in the Real estate,securities markets of Africa.
The reality is that many young individuals with disposal income, stay oblivious to the opportunities laying in the open in Africa. The incomes they generate in the western world is sufficient to make them potent players on these markets more so than in the American or European markets.
So let's harness this investment power and channel the money into long-term assets that will serve as the basis of economic growth and also ensure financial control of our economies.The market economy is all about ownership after all, the hardest workers are not sure to reap the full harvest of their efforts unless there is profit sharing.
