One big, easy and most importantly legal way to protect your savings is to invest them by buying shares at the stock exchange-ZSE. Over the past two years, we have seen more and more people take part in the buying and selling of shares. Unfortunately, this increase in participation paired with the sharp rise in black market rates has resulted in market volatility. The ZSE is introducing new short-circuiting rules in May that will protect buyers and sellers.

The ZSE’s statemnt o n the issue

What it simply means is that the ZSE now has much more sensitive circuit breakers than before. These can now be triggered by smaller spikes or smaller falls in prices that would not have had this effect before. When a circuit breaker is triggered trading is temporarily halted to allow trading to cool off and to reduce rash decisions.
