Quote from Bob111:
you sort of running on front of the horse. i would start from the list of stocks that are available for betting in whatever firm you are with.
cause last time i've checked MAN(?) in UK-the list of stocks you can bet on was pretty small and minimum account size is pretty big
and no spread betting for US citizens
IG is the brooker there is no account min and for US stocks the market cap is 500 upwards.
