Question by William M: Are individual stocks a good place/sector to start spread betting with rather than currencies or commodities?
I am just wondering, I am an investor in the stock market just learning to read company balance sheets, P/E’s EPS’s, etc and looking to start spread betting and was just wondering if individual stocks were a good place to start my spread betting career once I’ve built up some capital and got a job with some practice experience? Also, would spread betting stocks be a better idea than spread betting currencies and commodities, and if so/if not, why?

yes i would say stocks are better than currencies or commodities…. commodities are too volatile and currencies are subject to interference and can move on so many variables like interest rates, fundamentals and technicals. If I were you I would start by following just 2 or 3 blue chip stocks (for which business model you find interesting!) and monitor their movements on a daily basis. Study them and try to get to know them inside out.
