| October 25, 2006 | | Financial spread betting requires current information | | Placing financial spread bets is risky business. You need to have a pretty good handle on what is going on in specific financial markets if you want to achieve a measure of success in spread betting. This means that it is important to stay informed. Learn about the economic factors that influence the way a financial instrument performs, whether bonds, currencies, stocks or other financial markets. Also, learn how political and social issues can affect economic news and how that in turn is likely to affect the way you place your spread bets. And if the news looks bleak, remember that in financial spread betting, you can always make money by going short--betting that the financial instrument will lose value. | | |
