| August 09, 2007 | | Placing spread bets on stocks | One of the advantages of spread betting is that it is possible to place a spread bet on an individual equity. You can earn money even if that equity falls, if you wagered that the individual equity would drop. And it can be used as a hedge tool against spread betting on stock indices. One individual equity is Air-France KLM. Its stock is down right now, but its earnings are up, and that means that it could gain in the near future. MarketWatch reports on Air-France KLM: Air France-KLM, Europe's largest airline, Thursday posted a 70% increase in fiscal first-quarter profit, helped by gains from asset sales and strong demand for transatlantic passenger flights.
