Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Can either spread bet or CFD it, can trade on the ftse like you would any other share.

Basically it's just £x per point up or down.

As said above if it's something you are going to try do it small!!

Opened the short at 5648.5 a bit before I posted so it's still looking ok, only want a few quid :)

*edit* actually was quite a bit before I posted, that'll teach me for leaving the forum window open for ages before posting the message!

Wouldn't say I've got balls, missing a few marbles maybe. Like I said, only in for a few quid, bit of beer money.

World seems to be going to rat poop at the moment, if it does markets will be following. My stop is set at break even so won't be losing any money.
 
Moved the stop to give me some cash to cover my lunches for the week, and will just let it run now :) If it stops out then fair enough, if it keeps dropping then great.

Stockpiling ETFS Natural Gas at the moment.
Performance has been shocking since the ETF launched but I don't think they're getting any lower from this point since the US market has reached saturation point.

They still have huge amounts of reserves but come 2012 those sources will be put to work.

Long term buy. Short term, probably only going to lose money.

Yes I am also looking for a way to play the natural gas markets. BP has a lot of exposure to gas, so my shares there held since the GOM crisis are a bit of a gas play. Oil is going over $100 next year, and gas prices have to follow suit to some extent I reckon.

Also anyone watching EML? It's shot up in the last couple of days, but I am sure it is going to come back down. Interesting play on metals and Jim Melon is involved, which always seems to be no bad thing.

Yeah Ive read you can lose more than you put in, quite scary really
 
You can put guaranteed stops on with some companies, as long as you make sure you're only leveraged as to what you are willing to afford you're ok.

If you're going to try it just play with very small amounts of cash.
 
main thing with sb is the leverage and the loan. 1 unit is 100 shares, so the price matters a lot then. consider you might pay for all those 100 shares and its ok to do

xuks is a ftse short etf and it has no leverage, just costs like 0.5% per year or split per day plus the spread. always harder then it looks though
