<span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">Spread
betting is a method used to make money depending on the direction a stock will
move through a financial market, as opposed to purchasing actual stock. The
idea is to purchase points of a spread on a particular stock at the upper end
of the spread and sell said points when it reaches the lower end of the spread.
Those who choose to spread bet utilize one or more of several different spread
betting companies who specialize in this particular type of trading.</span></div>

betting. Those looking for a get rich quick scheme, those who do not have
disposable income to gamble and those who plan on using money dedicated to the
mortgage or household bills should not consider spread betting as an
alternative to gainful employment. As recent survey indicated, the majority of
the currently active spread betters in the UK are financially stable, middle

general, spread betting companies will offer a guide to spread betting for
beginners. This guide should educate the new financial investor regarding
systems and software used to track the stock market and how much of an initial
investment is required. The initial investment is generally calculated on the
high end of the spread, multiplied by the number of points purchased and the
amount of the commission charged by the spread betting company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

some this may sound like bad odds, but they are </span><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.0666675567627px;">absorb able</span><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> losses when one

<span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">Spread
betting is an intriguing way to get involved with buying and selling stocks
without ever buying or selling a stock. Spread betting investors win when they
bet correctly on whether the price of the underlying stock is lower than the
bid or higher than the offer price.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></div>

The process is very new for many people, even though it has been an established
form of trading for decades. The most confusing point seems to be that the
person does not own the underlying stock. The stock is only used as a reference
point. In many ways, it may be easier to trade in this way. If you are someone
who likes to look at trends and patterns this could be the way to trade for
you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

who use spread betting software give themselves an advantage over other players
in the market. Spread betting is a complex technique involving complex
strategies. Successful bettors juggle a great many factors in the process of
choosing which stocks will rise and which will fall. Software helps to manage
the information.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

popular browser. Experienced traders know that it is important to be able to
communicate with your chosen company to get information or to make a trade
wherever you are. Mobile users should make sure that they have access which can
be loaded onto devices such as the blackberry, iPhone or other such PDA
devices. Investigate your options before plunging into spread betting. It is
something that can be mastered if you put in some work. Reduce your risks by
educating yourself with the online services available at the major companies.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">Spread
betting allows investors to bet on the future direction of the FTSE without
having to purchase shares in individual FTSE stocks or index funds. Instead of
buying a FTSE 100 index contract at a predetermined, fixed price, the investor
can decide how much to risk, just as he would if he were placing an opening bet
in a game of poker. FTSE spread betting is a form of investment that comes very
close in structure and execution to traditional gambling. For instance, an
investor could "bet" 2 pounds per point that the FTSE would rise. If
the FTSE rose 50 points after the investor placed the bet, then he would have
"won" or gained 100 pounds, 2 pounds for each point of the FTSE's
gain. If, on the other hand, the FTSE dropped 50 points immediately after the
investor placed his bed, the investor would lose 100 pounds. Spread betting can
be an effective way to make money in both up and down markets. For instance,
investors who place bets on the direction of the FTSE can just as easily bet that
the index will go down as that it will go up. Thus, the investor in the example
above could also bet 2 pounds per point that the FTSE would drop. In that case,
he would lose 100 pounds if the FTSE rose 50 points and gain 100 pounds if it
went down 50 points.</span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">FTSE
spread betting offers many advantages over traditional trading. It is not for
every investor, but those who do engage in it enjoy many rewards, financial and
otherwise. Among the most obvious benefits of spread betting is the avoidance
of capital gain tax, income tax, and stamp duty on investment profits. In
addition, investors need not put up as much cash to place a spread bet as they
do to purchase traditional market shares. Investors can engage in spread betting
with very little capital. Some spread betting companies allow investors to
place bets with as little as 100 pounds in their accounts and to bet as little
as a one pence per point. Spread bets are commission free. This is because
companies that offer spread betting build the costs associated with placing a
bet into the bid-offer spread that they advertise to potential investors. Thus,
while it would be wrong to say that investors are able to place spread bets at
no cost, they are better able to gauge and absorb the costs because the costs
are announced up front rather than taken piecemeal from investment accounts
with the commission of each transaction. The upfront, one-time only assessment
of investment fees allows the investor to perform what is known as a
"phased exit" without incurring additional costs as a result. That
is, a spread bettor can unwind the bet little by little in several transactions
without being charged an extra commission fee with each sale. Spread betting
also has psychological rewards. It enables investors to make their own
decisions and take direct control of their investment activities. It also
introduces to the usually stodgy activities of investment the sense of
excitement and fun associated with gambling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">However,
spread betting truly is a form of gambling, and, as such, it can be a risky
activity. Because a spread bet is a highly leveraged form of financial
speculation, an investor stands to either realize great gains or incur great
losses. While there is the potential to win big profits through this unique
form of investment, there is the possibility of losing big as well. Also,
because a spread bettor does not own shares in the underlying investment
instrument, he also does not enjoy the benefits that come with ownership, such
as receiving regular dividends and having a voice in the governance of the
corporation or corporations in which shares are owned It is true that investors
are not required to pay capital gains when they make substantial profits
through spread bets. Conversely, though, when they lose big, they are precluded
from claiming a capital loss that could potentially offset taxes assessed
against gains from traditional investments at tax filing time. Spread betting
is generally best viewed as a short-term investment strategy that allows
individual investors to take advantage of short-term fluctuations in market
indices. Thus, it is not an investment vehicle suited to "parking"
one's money for an extended period of time. Spread betting requires vigilant
monitoring and active involvement on the part of the investor.</span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Fortunately,
spread betting differs from traditional gambling in that it is possible for an
investor to minimize his exposure to potential loss while still maximizing his
potential gain. Losses can be limited most effectively by placing a stop-loss
limit order, which allows an investor to determine the maximum amount of any
loss he will incur before placing the bet. A savvy investor will structure the
bet so that he automatically exits the bet once the underlying instrument that
he is betting on reaches a predetermined price. Exiting the bet at this point
limits the losses that the investor may incur if the index moves in the
direction opposite to his expectations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

originated in the United Kingdom in the mid 1970s and remains a popular form of
financial investment and speculation in the British marketplace. Many firms
offer spread betting services to investors. There are many factors to consider
when choosing when deciding which spread betting company to trade with. One of
factors to consider is the range of the bid-offer spread offered by different
spread betting firms. The tighter the spread the better. Depending on how much
money an investor has on hand and is willing to bet, the minimum amount needed
to place a bet and the minimum price per point may be key to choosing the right
spread betting firm. Some firms allow investors to open credit accounts and
place bets on margin, while others do not. Newcomers to the field of spread
betting may wish to open an account with a firm that offers a free demo or
trial account with simulated trading systems. Such newcomers will also want to
examine the training and educational materials that each company offers in
order to guide new investors through the process of spread betting. A
critically important consideration is the ease of using the software systems
and trading platforms through which a spread betting firm provides investor
information and through which investors execute trades and enter bets. A firm's
trading platform should perform seamlessly and process orders efficiently and
instantly, even during times of heavy traffic and hectic trading and betting
activity. Some of the better known and regarded spread betting firms include,
IGIndex, City Index, Finspreads, Capital Spreads, CMCMarkets, Sporting Index,
and Saxo Spreads.</span></div>

there is usually a gap between the buy/sell price, which is called the

<span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">A
spread betting account allows investors to bet on the outcome of a particular
financial product or market. Investors bet on the “spread,” the range of
possible outcomes rather than simply a win-lose outcome. A bet is placed on how
one thinks the financial product or market will change in value over a given
time period. You win or lose depending on how accurately you predict the movement
in price.</span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Investors
do not actually buy any stocks or other financial products in financial spread
betting. A spread betting account is a type of financial derivative trading and
not an actual investment in any product or market. The money is placed in a
betting system rather than in companies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

when and where to place bets. There are a number of software systems that can
help investors make crucial decisions based on real-time or near real-time

IgIndex, CmcMarkets, City index, Capital spreads, Finspreads, Sporting index,

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">There
are two types of bets that you can place in the financial markets. The long
spread bet is used when you think that a price will rise in value. A short
trade is used when you think that the price will fall. You can, for example,
place a minimum bet of £1 per point on any investment. So, if you bet long you
will make £1 for every point increase in the share price. If the price falls
instead then you lose £1 per point. If the market is going against you can
close your position to cut your losses or to reap your gains.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">The decision on whether to bet long or short depends on a number of factors
related to the financial product or market. For example, if a company is
releases a report showing worse than expected performance, the shares may drop
in value. The investor must know how to carefully analyse all possible
variables in price fluctuations.</span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.3pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Futures
spread betting is a natural extension of futures trading, whereby an investor
purchases one or more offsetting futures contracts. This can be accomplished by
buying a variety of different futures contracts for commodities or securities
that have some sort of relationship to one another. A combination of owning a
futures contract for long (buy) and short (sell) - for a financial investment
that is related - can create an intermarket, intramarket or inter-exchange
spread.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Certain
futures financial instruments naturally go together and can create a spread
when owned by the same investing party. As futures near maturity, the buy and
sell contract prices may both change, but if the spread changes at a different
rate, the professional trader can turn a profit. Spreads usually trend in one
direction. Expert traders are able to use their knowledge as a guide,
recognizing how seasonal factors can affect spreads.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Large
companies sometimes use futures contracts to hedge a position in order to lock
in a guaranteed price, for conservative trading protection in case
circumstances change dramatically. Futures spreads tend to be a more
conservative form of trading since many financial investments allow for a more
controlled profit base. Complicated software systems can help professional
traders measure price changes, velocity and acceleration of financial
investments over time, permitting rapid calculation of profit. Futures spread
trading permits experienced traders the opportunity to make money in volatile
markets that go up or down rapidly. There are fewer futures terms to learn.
Spreads are more precise than other comparable trading vehicles. It is easier
for busy traders to track trends by simply by using end-of-day data for
measuring spreads.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cmcmarkets, for more broad trading options. There is a worldwide access to
prices with city index. Experienced traders have more selections with capital

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">Forex
trading is quickly becoming a very good way to make high returns with small
investments. However, one of the major drawbacks of trading in forex is that
there are hidden charges, especially rollover interest rates that your broker
may ignore tell you about.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">Spread betting is a great trading alternative to forex trading. Every forex
quote has a “spread”. That is the difference between the price you buy the
currency or the sell price.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">If you wish to trade the US dollar, you get a quote of 1.3025/1.3030. The
spread is the difference between 1.3030 and 1.3025 that is 5 points. You can

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">Since
there are many companies dealing in spread betting, you should pick one based
on the benefits you accrue from them. Some of the things that one can consider
include ease of using their platforms, tight spreads, customer care and
knowledge of the business.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></div>

igindex that boasts of spreads as low as one pip as well as a browser-based
platform known as PureDeal Technology. Capital Spreads also offers very tight
spreads.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></span></div>

of markets. That is how finspreads caught my eye. Customer care and support is
important when it comes to choosing the best company. Companies such as city
index and sporting index laid claim to having the best customer service.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">Even
with all the benefits of trading with the financial institutions above, age or
experience in this market was my biggest consideration. That is why I was
attracted to saxo spreads and cmcmarkets. These have been there for a very long
time and I felt that my fund were in safer hands.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="color: #303030; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">Because you will be investing a fair amount of money, it is not easy to decide
on the company to use. There is nothing wrong with seeking other trader’s
opinions or doing further research. Trading in spreads is risky and the prudent
thing to do is choose a good forex spread betting broker.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Financial
spread trading embraces all the excitement of uncertainty with the thrill of
finely honed market acumen. By speculating on the likely upward or downward
performance of a commodity, index, currency or share, you will profit depending
on how accurate your prediction is.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;">There are three principal types of spreads based on time; daily, rolling, and
contract month. A daily bet is simple, and is based on a particular day’s
performance. A rolling bet can be extended from day to day, while a contract
month spread trade will occur 3 months from the date it is initiated.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></div>

visualize the incredibly complex interactions of any given commercial
ecosystem. Essentially, the investor who has a comprehensive view of their
particular market or commodity will be able to predict the movements of that
entity with remarkable accuracy, and be rewarded handsomely with tax free
profit for his or her effort.</span></div>

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Although
there is no particular official system to financial spread trading,
establishing a relationship with a brokerage firm is highly recommended, simply
because one can pool one’s knowledge with top industry professionals. One must
invest in the companies that one has a special knowledge of, and predict their
performance based on solid factors and one’s experience of those particular
enterprises. There are, however, several websites and brokers which specialize
in placing these speculative trades, including Igindex, CMCMarkets, City index,
Capital spreads, Finspreads, the Sporting Index, and Saxo spreads.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

clientele. Other firms, like CMCMarkets, actively recruit established and
potential brokers to keep their knowledge of the market sharp and competitive.
Many of these companies utilize internet based content management software and
systems to keep their data on global markets as up to date as possible.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 14.3pt;"> </span></div>

excel in helping one locate the best opportunities for trade, and can guide an
investor in the proper direction when placing an initial investment. The
experienced brokers who staff these firms have worked in the market long enough
to have witnessed every contingency, and will be able to offer highly pertinent

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Spread
betting is a new form of speculation which involves placing a bet on the price
movements of certain financial securities, such as stocks, bonds, and
commodities. Instead of buying or selling the stocks or commodities, investors
simply bet against these companies on whether the closing price of the
underlying security will be lower or higher than a specific quoted price that
the company determines. Financial spread betting is simply speculation on the
price fluctuations of investment instruments. The concept is simple, and just
like trading stocks, you buy and sell based on predictions about the movements
the security will make. There are many of spread betting systems and companies
across the globe, and there are many websites that not only take spread bets,
they also provide their members with software to analyze securities and place
bets quickly and easily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

spread betting company quotes a bid of $400 and an offer of $404 for stock BAC.
If the user believes that the price for BAC will be lower than $400, they can
bet any amount per tick that BAC stock will go below $400. Say the user
"bets" $5 for every tick that BAC goes below $400. If the stock then
moves below $400, the bet is a winning bet and the company will owe the user $5
for every tick lower that the BAC stock moved under $400. If the BAC stock
moves over $400, the user will owe the site $5 for every tick higher that the
BAC stock moves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For people who want to get the most benefits from every dollar they earn, financial </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
planning is a useful tool to achieve that objective. Careful financial planning can </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
help individuals as well as couples to set themselves realistic priorities with </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
regards to long-term financial goals and then get to work with the objective of </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
achieving them. Financial planning also helps set aside some funds for contingencies </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and emergencies such as any income loss, injuries or illnesses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though financial planning is a structured activity, no two individuals look at it </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the same way, simply because most individuals have different objectives and </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
different ideas for achieving them. While some individuals think of financial </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
planning as way to selecting the right investments for post retirement security, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
others look at it as a means to finding investments that will help them generate </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
enough savings to meet a future expense such as a child’s higher education expenses, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though financial planning as a definition may seem like a fairly easy task, it is </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
not a job for everyone, especially people who lack financial market-related </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
knowledge. Financial planning is also fairly complex as it is multi-disciplinary and </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
hence is not a task for any layman. The best way to go about financial planning is </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
to hire the services of a professional financial advisor or a financial planner. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Financial planners are experts in their fields and they offer the right financial </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
guidance and also give good advice when you are stuck on some financial planning </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
issues. Also, with the advice of a financial planner, your financial planning task </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
becomes fairly simple and there is no need to devote long hours from your already </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
hectic lives, to study the market trends and follow new market instruments. A </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
financial planner is a skilled expert who looks not only at all your future </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
financial needs and objectives but also your current financial situation before </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
giving out any advice. The advice or financial plan thus reached is best suited for </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the client’s present as well as future needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A detailed financial plan may include important aspects such as your investments </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
portfolio, your retirement plan contributions, current living expenses budgeting and </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
projected growth in savings. The problem with most people is that they delay their </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
financial planning for too long, as they are busy juggling their current financial </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
situations. This delay in preparing for the future is often a big blunder as </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
irrespective of a person’s present income, financial planning can help in achieving </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
future goals successfully. With the assistance of a financial planner you can get a </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
reasonable financial plan that will require a little discipline but will help you </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
with future success. As financial plans are not rigid or written in stone, a </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
financial planner can easily accommodate any changes in your circumstances, such as </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the birth of child, and help you change your financial plan accordingly.</div>
