BASHERS NEVER Bash A BAD STOCK

What is the size restriction on buys at the minute? Interesting to see the 25k and 50k buys at 20.85.

Driver, looks like my birthday has come early ..

I am being quoted 21 for 50,000 on Barclays SB

You can also get 21 for 100,000 on a limit order

Naughty Naughty,we don't mention his name on here,he's nearly faded away..JB..

Cheers Baza

baza , just opened an account with barclays. i would be very grateful if you and eric , and anyone else who has experience of cfds, would email me with a step by step guide on dos and donts, ( me being a virgin ). thanks in advance.

It's your birthday every day when youre in seo well nearly.

Lets hope those shorters are feeling the heat ??

Baza

Sorry everybody. Should not have asked him any questions, I like you would rather him steer clear of this BB.

Bos - I think the biggest DO from my point of view s to watch your position like a hawk and never go away leaving an open position. The great advaantage of a CFD is that it can make you money 10 times quicker for the same outlay (or 5 times quicker in the case of SEO as the Notional Trading Requirement is 20% instead of 10%) BUT the big Risk is that if it goes against you - You will loose money 10 times quicker(5 times for SEO) - so you just need to keep a sharp eye.

Also if you are short and a dividend payment is due - you end up having to pay the dividend, similarly if you are long - you will receive it.

Plus I understand it can be painful financially if you have an open position and a rights issue is declared. Not sure I understand that one yet - but just be aware that any corporate action might hurt.

I bought my first CFD in SEO at 15 which is nice - but equally I bought a CFD in NLR at 530 - not so nice.

Good Luck - but be careful

Baza

Wise words Baza, I'm a big fan of CFD's but they need constant religious attention. Much prefer them over traditional share buying & selling as the returns can be pretty amazing. To date I've not had one blow up in my face (luck rather than judgement I'm sure), however I'm know it will happen one day, as soon as I get cocky no doubt! All depends on the amount your prepared to lose so I would avoid the volatile stuff no matter how tempting. Great for relatively safe stocks like SEO.

Hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs here, I'm very new to this (& love it), this is just a snippet of what I've learned.

Suck Eggs!!!- I have been trading CFD's for at least -ooh let me se - 4 weeks or so - so I have lots of experience - NOT. Am therefore a bit of a novice - so am treading carefully until I feel I fully unsderstand them.

I suspect Eric or GF are the experts

All sounds a bit doggy to me, what you are saying is you can't just place one and go off to work, you might come back and your house has gone. I think I will stick to share's.

Driver - you can set stop losses - which means they will sell in the market as soon as the price hits the price you set - but if the price is moving fast - you may end up getting a price a lot lower that your stop loss

or

you can set a guaranteed stop loss - which means that you are guaranteed to get the price as soon as it hits it - and the stockbroker takes the risk. Each option costs a little bit more than just a straight placing.

I also gave out incorrect info last time - I said that deals were made at a fixed pricce of 17.50 - this was wrong - they are made at a cost of 0.15% with a minimum of 17.50 - apologise for that bit of misinformation.

Hope that helps

baza

Very true. You actually made me laugh there driver! Just to add to Baza's comments, even though it is pricey to go guaranteed stop loss I'd stick with them. Much better - you know what you're risking - always best.

What you mean I havent before.

I still think I am going to stick with what I know I don't think my ticker could stand the pace, I'm not as hard as bos.

Slow US sales hit Coke's profit; the New Pop should perk up their sp.

cheers for the advice fellas. nice to see the price push up . and we have a new pope. all is well.

chiva, baza, guaranteed stop losses are for girls!!!!:)
