To all traders/investors in Sheffield/Rotherham area, would you like establish a investment society/or meet up for discussion of markets/macro trends in Sheffield City Center? Christopher

I'm studying Business Economics, is there anyone in Sheffield with an interest in economics, financial markets and politics? Am I the only one?

Are there any risks involved in buying exchange traded funds, can the fund collapse? Guys I'm contemplating on investing all my money in crude oil ETF if oil should enter the $90 to $100 dollar band, any thoughts/comments on it? seems like a no lose investment, is it that easy?

My question, When oil floors out at $90 to-4$100 dollars I was thinking of buying an exchange traded fund in crude oil, does that seems sensible? With an ETF in oil for example it seems impossible to lose your money as oil can never goes to zero, so investing in ETF crude oil seems to provide a...

When opening an account with Igindex they let you play with stakes below £1 for the first 6 weeks under their lerners scheme. What If I close my account and reopen it a week later, would they allow me to play with lower stakes for another 6weeks, if i close my account, they won’t remember me...

When joining tradindex I thought it could be all done through an online application however, when it came to typing my passport number in they wanted me fill in an application instead and post it to them which was quite annoying because a friend managed to do it through tradindex all online. Not...

Fed cutting rates Wow. If only I had a spreadbetting account, I would have probaly made £1000+ easy by going long on all indicies at £1 per point. An event like that is one in a million. 50 bases cut is just ridiculous, on one expected that one coming. I was glued to bloomberg and went long on...

Other than interest rates what other factors affect the value of the dollar? Do US economic indicators have any impact, what specific ones do? Some people say that if price of oil goes up, the value of the dollar goes down. Well I thought 60%of world’s oil is priced in dollars so wouldn’t an...

About tradindex Ye I agree, why don't they provide autoupdate on new site and provive roll over bets and live updates and walla they'll have the number 1 spreadbetting site. The majority of people would join if they had live updates/roll over bets. Just curious did everyone with real accounts...

Sally Nicoll's spread betting diary I don't think this is worth making a new thread over but I'm half through through this book and can honestly say that this is probaly the worst sb book I've ever read. The books a diary about Sally Nicoll not spreadbetting. I thought it would be full of...

Shorting Nothern Rock So did everyone make a killing shorting northern rock, how much did you all make? Spreadbetting companies must have lost quite a bit. Anyone care to explain what 'hedging is' and why sb cxompanies do it, I've read 2 sb books and still don't understand it.

Questions about new Tradindex site. Is it me or does the new tradindex site not refresh/update your open positions? I have to keep clicking 'refresh' to see up to date open/loss positions, is that right?:( Does the old tradidnex site update positions every 5-10seceonds and not every second?

Ye I've only just noticed that refreshers are about 5-10seconds delayed. Is that the case with all spreadbetting firms or is it just tradindex? Tradindex need to offer guaranteed stop losses aswell. I'm not joining until they do. How often do normal stop losses fail?

Just curious, do capital spreads and cmc offer guaranteed stop losses like igindex?
