Hi Zero Cool
Your right there is a lot of negative views about spreadbetting, mainly because I believe people are using them as if they were professional trading tools. If you are trading UK shares, then their great, because your using them for what they were designed for - after all you wouldn't bang a nail into a wall with a spanner, well you can but I would suggust using a hammer.
From what I know of CFD's, there's not much difference between them and spreadbetting - well for shares anyway. For example using
www.deal4free.com the spread on US Shares is the same, and UK shares with a spreadbetting company are quoted at the actual price anyway.
Please have a look at those links, well worth a read.
