Thanks for the replies, I understand the spreadbetting companies that place a minimum on stocks to give a spread. This is based on 0.5 billion market cap or more but they also say that it has to be liquid to a certain point and it is done on a case by case basis. Is there anyway of knowing if a...

Sorry for being stupid but what does the ratio thing mean? Thank you. Andrew.
