Contracts for Difference offer an exciting allternative to conventional trading. Rather than buying and holding stock you can speculate on the price movement of individual shares or indices, allowing you to profit from any correct predictions. Of course, if the stock moves against you, you can also lose money.
In most cases you only have to put down a deposit of 10% of the value of the shares rather than the full cost of the contract, so potential gains (and losses) are greater on a small capital outlay.
