Since i returned to shares recently one thing that is really getting on my nerves is the marketmakers.Okay,so they have a living to make just like the rest of us but not only are the spreads bigger,they manipulate the prices worse.In the last two weeks i have watched a number of shares registering big volume buys and not progressing for whatever reason. What are your views and can we do without the middleman ?

Market Makers are here to stimulate the market!

Only trade "Blue Chip" stocks with very tight spreads

VOD is a good example as is the banking sector!

The wider the spread......forget it....you will wait forever for a profit!

Read Crocs thread every day It's a must!

Best of Luck.

cheers jeff will go there now (-:

HT.

go online and only trade SETS stocks. as advfn advertises BUY ON THE BID, SELL ON THE OFFER

Not all SET stocks have tight spreads, see AZM for example. Very wide spread.

wasnt suggesting they were washlander
but VERY often you can find a spread of 0.1p or less. a traders dream
