Ahhhhh, BTP the greatest bond futures that ever traded. Fortunes were quickly made and lost in that market normally on consecutive days:D

Just tell them you have no morals about skimming client money and you should be ok. Remember the number one goal of Wall Street is to transfer client money from their wallets to yours. And if the clients can make some money as well then all the better, but it's not a necessity. PS. Also...

Doesn't it get boring when people go on and on about how much money they make, how they caught the bottom, sold the top, make more in a week that you make in a month etc etc. Can you imagine being one of their friends, all the time money, money, money. Of course little do they realise that...

You don't have to trade to make good money in FX. Why not view it as a stock price and add just a touch of leverage for good measure. Then you can ride those mega trends up/down very easily. You're not going to make 100's% a year, not even close but from a risk-adjusted point of view they...

I love all these mugs that think 1-2 months is a long time in the markets. You know the sort of guys that forecast the long term trend off what happened today or the the last few days..... The really big money in the markets has and always will be made with people with a multiyear view, hence...

Isn't Buffet worth $50billion? If so you've done very well son to accumulate $1billion in market profits :D

Fred Why's David Kyte a wanker? I used to know him, got on ok with him but you did have to watch him because he had a habit of coming out ahead of people, sometimes at their expense.

incidentally there's a lot of talk in the press so far this year (from heavy hitters like the Business editor of the Times) saying that CFDs are wrong because they evade stamp duty which is a mega earner for the Treasury. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next year...

Bear Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying. Yes at 10-1 you would receive 25% in interest re your initial £10,000 in cash. Sorry for my mistake.

Runningbear All brokers will pay you interest on shorts otherwise they are nothing more than thieves. And it has nothing to do with balancing a book it's all about you being short stock and long cash. Also it doesn't matter if you're short when a stock goes ex div because although you'll...

Spud Simon Smith was a made up name used as an example, next time I'll use the name Joe Smoe. Again I'm not having a go at you but you seem to think that leverage is a great thing. Well for 90% of people it's most probably one step better than Aids. And couple high leverage with...

Spud Sure you made a 44% profit but you should focus more on the 'cost of doing business' because this in my opinion is the number one reason why most don't make it in this game, they all think it's about trading P&L. You paid a total of £208.01 comms on your spare £1500, wowzers that's...

CFDs are a great con for the providers. Most CFD traders don't realise just how expensive they are to trade. They are like no other leveraged product in that they offer leverage but force you to pay comms on the full nominal amount. Do the sums yourself and you'll be shocked. Trade once a...
