Thanks MG, given me some good leads to dive in to there.

Hi, Starting taking an interest in money markets and how they relate to the economy, but still just scratching the surface. Wonder if someone could help me understand how the money market interest rates relate to central bank benchmarks - the rate at which banks can borrow from their respective...

good feedback across the board. I concede in the longer run SB might not be such an evil as initially I assumed

thanks both, will try all 3 if i can demo them.

Hi fully aware of the inherent disadvantages of spreadbetting. Nevertheless would like to open an account just to place some bets on the side for fun - I have an ancient CMC markets account but it to be generally "unweildy". Nice to look at from a distance, but sluggish charts / product...
