Levrage Opportunities?

CFD's are offering leverage opportunities, but are there any other brokers that offer leverage and trade in real stocks and shares? Bank loans for stocks etc? and are they hard to get?

Create your own leverage opportunities by borrowing money to trade any stock you like

What you are looking for is a broker that offers margin lending facilities. This would not work if you wish to trade on toxic stocks though as the banks would not have them on their lists. The interest would be quite high as well.

Just out of curiosity, do you trade short, medium or long term?

short and long
