SB's Bible= What'you think?

[minarque]

Hi everyone,

I've found this huge site which I think it's a Godsend, I think. There is so much in it..., so much that can be learnt... one needs a week's holyday to digest it all. Magnificent !!
What do you think of it yourselves? Let me know. Keep in touch.

Get to this link: www.financial-spread-betting.com/

Cheers, Minarque

Thanks. I will respond in a few weeks once I've devoured the info.

Yeah that site is cool. I can't access it from work but, if I recall correctly, the owner doesn't actually trade real money, he only paper trades, something which might be worth keeping in mind.

I've just finished reading the Malcolm Pryor book, really excellent resource, will definately be reading some sections again.

Cheers
David

Why does he not trade real money? How odd.

From the site:

"Greetings! Dear Visitor,

My name is Andy and I first began investing in the stock market over 10 years ago while in graduate school. I had received a Christmas gift of money together with a book on investing from my parents. I read the book and used the money to purchase 3 shares of The Limited. After a few days the stock went from $32.00 to $36.00 and I was hooked! I've been actively trading stocks ever since!"​

Another gem:

"It was obvious that index trading short term with the spreadbetters was impossible." I wonder if that is still true - I've certainly found it very difficult. I am considering getting a real account and trading E-minis myself - I will report back in a few months if I do.

Hi Lurker,

You're right, I hadn't looked at the site in a while. I think I must have misread his Biography section ("About Me").

thanks,

David

PS. Have you read the Pryor book?

Does he say why?
