        <Summary>Contracts for differences</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;One of the products offered by GFT Global Markets includes contracts for differences (CFDs). These financial instruments are derivatives based on an underlying asset -- including markets, shares or currencies. CFDs are cash-settled. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" title="contracts for differences, CFDs, how to trade CFDs, Martin Slaney, GFT Global Markets, financial instruments, trade CFDs" target="_blank" href="http://www.whatinvestment.co.uk/making-money/share-dealing/share-dealing-in-depth/637271/bear-necessities.thtml"&gt;What Investment comments on the growth of contracts for differences in trading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;CFDs have experienced tremendous growth since they first became
available to retail investors in the late 1990s. Active traders in
particular have been quick to appreciate the benefits and many now
prefer them to dealing direct in the underlying equities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;It is important to note the volatility of involved when you trade CFDs. They are not good for a long term strategy. Rather, you should consider them for short term, active trading.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</Description>
