Hi All, I work a nine to five so it is very difficult to get trading done unless I do it before work in my lunch break and after work which doesn't leave a lot of time. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a way I can spread bet at the weekends?

Bump

Hi All, After a long long slog I am finally making a profit. Over roughly 300 trades I am posting a profit factor of 1.2. To get to the point I am trying to discover whether or not that is good? What is the industry standard, what should I be aiming for? I don't really know anyone from the...

Bump. I really need an answer so I can decide whether to sell or hold when the nyse opens

Company A is valued at £2000. 50 percent of the company (1000 shares) are therefore worth £1000 and shares are £1 each. The company issues another 200 shares at £.50 each so each share is worth (£1100/1200) £.91. But the company is still worth £2000 so in time the share prices will return to £1...

Thank you for your help Malagutu. The conclusion I draw from this (please correct me if I am wrong) is that if a broker outside of this deal wanted to sell to an investor they aren't going to be able to as there is now this other broker in the deal who is selling at 3 dollars. Therefore they...

I guess what I don't understand is why the stock has dropped? Okay they sold some shares at $3 but so what? That doesn't change the value of the whole company so why has the price gone down? If it is due to fear that the shares won't be sold then that's huge buying potential. Or is it because...

Why is that?

I am new to buying actual stocks (was spread betting before) so for this to happen is a big shock!! What is everyone's verdict given what's happened? Buy? Hold? Or sell? Why?

The reason I ask is Kinross Gold shot down over 5% yesterday after they sold a bunch of new shares for $3 down from a stock price of $3.18. I'm in the stock so am obviously not very happy and want to exit my position. At the same time though I am wondering if I should buy up more shares if the...

If a company sells new shares at a price lower than the current price then the stock price will naturally go lower. What I don't understand is so long as the new shares are sold then eventually the lower prices will eventually go back to their original price so long as market conditions hsving...

Really amazing advice yes thank you. I guess I don't feel good trading a large amount of money through a spread better.

Amazing feedback thank you. The thing that concerns me is that Spread betting firms can choose not to execute your stop loss meaning you spend years upping your account to have 90% taken by some scumbag spread betting company. I would feel a lot more comfortable using a broker because they don't...

Hi. I hope everyone is well. I have a question for everyone which is what do the guys who work for trading firms use to make their money? I'm sure it's not spread betting so is it options, buying the stock for real? What is it? The reason I ask is id like to trade properly without the fear...
