FTSE recovery continues as UK Index charges another 1% higher ? CFD Trading and Spread Betting
Sunday, May 22nd, 2011Joshua Raymond of City Index (http://www.cityindex.co.uk/), shares his spread betting and CFDs insights for 21st March.
“Investors remained on the front foot in trading to help to maintain the FTSE 100′s recovery from the three-month lows that were hit at the height of the uncertainty over Japan’s nuclear crisis. Those uncertainties, along with the situation in Libya remain, but investors have notably been more ‘asset hungry’ at least in the short term having seen stocks come off by so much and have been hunting for bargains. It is this bargain hunting that has helped to drive stock valuations higher and helped the FTSE 100 to recover some 3.3% in the last three sessions.
Near term resistance on the FTSE 100 lies around the 5875 mark and so it could well be here that traders need to make a decision as to whether the recent bullish recovery from monthly lows is short term or not.
Traders have also taken confidence from Warren Buffett, the ‘Oracle of Omaha’, who said that the recent heavy stock falls in Japan represented a buying opportunity.
The price of crude oil however remains particularly sensitive to the situation in Libya and the Middle East. The developments over the weekend, where coalition forces have launched a series of strikes on Gaddafi’s forces, have kept trader sensitivities high, and this has nudged the price of crude oil higher by 1.5%. The price of crude oil could be set for some added volatility should civilians within Bahrain or Saudi Arabia use the situation in Libya as extra motivation to protest for regime change, knowing that they could have the backing of western states should any violence get out of control.
Telecom shares leap on AT&T deal to buy T-Mobile Telecom shares have leapt higher in European trading this morning after US firm AT&T agreed a deal over the weekend to buy T-Mobile for billion. Shares in Deutsche Telekom, the owner of T-Mobile, have jumped 16% in early trading on the news after the firm announced that the sale would give it ample opportunities for share buy backs. Shares in industry peers have also rallied on the back of the deal, with Vodafone shares topping the FTSE 100 leader board, rallying 4% to 176.5p.”

Spread Betting and the Upside of Day Trading
Thursday, April 21st, 2011
In part 1, Spread Betting and the Downside to Day Trading, we discussed some of the negatives and pitfalls of day trading and spread betting. But what about the positives? What are the benefits for the day traders who like the ease and convenience of spread betting?
Many companies offer “daily rolling products” eg the FinancialSpreads.com FTSE Rolling Daily. Traditional daily spread bets would be closed out at the end of the day. However spread betting companies are always coming up with new products and variations. Daily Rolling Bets are now one of the most popular markets and are replacing the previously popular quarterly futures trades. In short, with daily rolling bets you benefit from the tight spreads and you can automatically roll your bet over to the next day without having to close and re-open the trade.
If you are a buyer there will be a small overnight charge
If you are a seller the spread betting company will even pay you a small overnight fee
If you do decide to trade over short periods of time then you may be better off spread betting than share trading. With equities you have to pay Stamp Duty which is not applicable to spread bets*. With Stamp Duty currently at 0.5% in the UK and 1% in Ireland that soon adds up over a large number of trades
Unlike 5 years ago there is now a lot of competition amongst the spread betting companies and that has led to narrower spreads, particularly on the daily spot markets and daily rolling markets. Many companies offer a 1 or 2 point spread on their daily FTSE 100 markets
Spread betting on daily markets is tax free. Whether you day trade and/or trade quarterly futures spread betting is still tax free*
Day trading can be a negative for those who cannot sit in front of the markets all day but it can benefit those who are free one or more days a week. So you work part-time or perhaps you are retired or work weekends and therefore are free during the week when the markets are open? Of course that may mean you have less funds to trade so you do need to be extra careful. And of course trading still needs effort and discipline not just the time. But if you are motivated and have the time then it can be a useful extra form of tax free income
There is already a large and established market for day trading shares but it is not as easy to gain exposure to markets like Gold and Crude Oil or indices like the Dow Jones, FTSE 100 or Nikkei 255. With companies like World Spreads you can easily and quickly gain exposure to these markets and trade many other Indices, Forex and Commodities markets. Naturally the US and Asian markets have different opening hours and note that the American markets do not all open at the same time, they have a staggered start
There are a number of pros and cons to this form of trading. Quick, tax free profits are always very tempting however make sure you understand the downside of each spread bet before you trade.
Spread betting carries a high level of risk to your funds. You can lose more than you initially invest. It may not suit all investors. Only speculate with funds that you can afford to lose. Ensure you understand the risks and seek independent financial advice if and when necessary.
* Tax law can change and/or may be different if you pay tax in a jurisdiction outside the UK.

you could just send me all your money instead, it would be quicker!
Suspect that if it is in a book it will fail because of the pump & dump scam. The successful traders will know about such methods and will deliberately game them, thereby helping themselves to your money.
Other than that, stick only to volatile stocks, and good, er, luck!

Trading Shares For A Living Via Spread Betting
Sunday, March 20th, 2011About 8 years ago I started to notice that certain friends of mine had quit their jobs but continued to live very luxurious lifestyles – seemingly without doing very much. I thought they must just be using up their savings until I discovered they were all making a fantastic living by spending just a few hours a week doing something I had never heard of before – “financial spread betting”.
More and more people are now becoming familiar with the phrase “financial spread betting”. Once, the sole preserve of City Whiz kids or sophisticated gamblers, financial spread betting is now gaining in popularity as a great way to earn a very sizeable tax-free income without the risk of losing the shirt off your back!
So why is financial spread betting becoming so popular. Well, with a bit of understanding and practice, ordinary people, with no prior experience, can earn enormous sums whilst controlling their risks and limiting their losses. You do not even need a stockbroker or a city dealing account to do get involved. An on-line account is very simple to open and anyone with web access can do it.
Spread betting, aka futures trading, is easy to understand if you stick to a simple index like the FTSE 100 or the DOW JONES.
In basic terms, this is how it works:
When you buy a ‘future’ you take a position on what you think the index (e.g. the FTSE 100, or the DOW ) will be at some future date – e.g. June 2005. Let’s say the FTSE is currently at 5200 and you think it will rise over the next three months as ‘terrorist fever’ abates. You would buy the June FTSE at (say) GBP10 per point. For every point it rises, you make GBP10. If it goes up 100 points, you make GBP1000. Of course, if you get it wrong and the index falls by fifty points (say), you lose GBP500.00.
You need of course to be very aware of the risks before you get involved. As with any investment or business, you can lose money. If, by nature, you are a timid, cautious person, then it is definitely not for you. But if you have some money to play with, and aren’t risk adverse, then financial spread betting is the one of the best possible ways you can make a great deal of money completely tax free and there are clever ways of limiting your losses so you never lose more than you can afford.
Unlike most businesses, it is possible to get involved with an absolute minimal outlay and take a position without buying a single thing. You do have to ‘back’ your position with a certain amount of cash, but this is ‘insurance’ money, NOT stake money.
The best thing is you can try it for free without any risk at all. You can ‘dry trade’ with ‘monopoly’ money until you get a feel for how it works and are confident enough to start using real money.
Financial spread betting has become so popular primarily because of the relationship between risk and capital. It is highly leveraged and you can make huge profits with only a limited amount of capital and risk. The fact that there is (unlike with most investments) no stamp duty or tax also helps make it extremely attractive.
So if you are of the right temperament, spread betting can be a very lucrative way of making an amazing income in your spare time. But be warned, if used recklessly or without the correct knowledge it can result in large losses.
