Trading indicies like Banking sector

ramuk · Jul 24, 2005

My initial investigation of spread betting indicates that only certain
stocks are available for trading (assuming US markets).

I am interested in trading sector indicies (like the banking sector, biotech
sector, etc)

Are there any spread betting companies who offer this ?

I am interested in long term (2-12 months) leverage.

Do the spreadbetting shops you have looked at offer access to ETFs such as SMH, BBH, etc?

Hello roguetrader, that's exactly what I need. I got in touch with several
brokers and they said no.

So I am wondering if there are ANY which do offer ETFs ?

I will be using sector based ETFs to trade.

You are probably better off using a broker rather than a spreadbetting company for that type of product. There are many spreadbetters on this forum so maybe one of them will know different.
Etf's in general may not have enough liquidity for spreadbetting companies.
