Whats your opinion????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

To be honest Im getting a little fed up with all this Credit and Margin within the market, as I see it leads to volatility and sideways markets as short - termism leads the way.

Spreadbets, CFDS, T plus and many more are having a very negative effect on the market as I see it, even Winnie and Evil K admitted this last year, whats the solution if there is one? or are we stuck in a circle chasing are arses and tails. Your opinions whatever way, would be most welcome.

cheers GF.

Hence you answer your own mistaken assertion and you have a shorter in the above case. Anyway hotei my initial post is not just against people going short it also covers them going long aswell on credit.

I beleive the amount of credit in the market place now leads to far bigger swings both ways and directly leads to the volatility we have seen since the end of the last Bear market. I hope you dont take my post as offensive its not intended to be. I really just want to know how people feel about these new tools in the market place and also their likely effects on shaping markets in the years to come.

cheers GF.

Hotei - How dare you tell me to get used to it or move onto something else. I've been investing for years, recently supplimenting my pension. I have absolutely no desire to "move onto spread betting, cfds, horses or dogs".

Spread betting is great for someone like me who can't afford to buy shares in the FTSE 100 or on the New York Stock exchange.
But then the amounts I bet are so small they are hardly likely to affect the market. Also I only bet with cash on deposit.
Is it ok for me to carry on? :-)
