Its a bit like a three card trick, in theory its simple. In practise you wont find the queen. Start off small or its pointless, you have to learn first

The sign up bonus does not usually apply to shares



Might be better off buying the 'house' IGG and LCG
LCG is very 'cheap' at the moment and might pay a good yield, a couple big investors reduced or sold their stake but artemis strategic still owns like 4% and he owns ig so I guess he rates them similar



PM me and I'll give you details of a course I know, best person I know to learn from and/or see trade2win

The "short squeeze" can result in very violent upwards moves in share prices. An extreme example of a short squeeze was in shares of Volkswagen in 2008 where they briefly became the largest company in the world by market cap. Brief "dead cat bounces" in down trends where share prices rise dramatically before continuing in their original direction are probably caused by short squeezes.

I remember that and it moved the entire DAX also.

Its a character of bear markets to have extreme rallys apparently. March 09 thats how it was first called. Excluding currency depreciation this is a bear market really

One I've heard of is IG Index

Just remember all the warnings and that you can lose far in excess of the stake you put in. At least with shares you are limited to only losing all the money you invested.

I have been setting up a site for a friend who had the misfortune of trading with IG Index and he had a pretty rough ride.

He set up the following site

http://www.igindexarecheats.co.uk

I now nothing about spread betting but within days of setting the site up I realised why there is very little negative press about them.

My limited experience of them is that they are very quick to courier out Cease and Desist Notices- illegal bullying tactics AFAIK. They continued to do this even though the web host's legal department had told them where to go previously. They only stopped after counter legal threats for intimidation and harassment.

Frankly I don't care who you go with but I would suggest that you research any firm thoroughly. These firms spend a lot of money on SEO so use negative terms in your searches

FYI Betfair is a 'trading name' of London Capital Group (LCG). LCG white-label their spreadbetting platform to quite a few different companies (IG Index excluded). If you check companies' T&Cs it will say something along lines of "CompanyX is a trading name of London Capital Group". You can spreadbet direct with LCG using Capital Spreads.

It can be quite crazy when you first start spread betting especially when there is no minimum to open an account with. But I know for sure companies like ETX Capital do give you great advice and tips on how to spread bet effectively. They even offer free webinars. I suggest you check out their spread betting webinars @ etxcapital.co.uk/Education/Webinars.aspx.
