Share Trading Guide
Share trading is the most common form of trading. A share is simply a fractional holding of a company. This gives traders an opportunity to buy and sell a share of a company that is listed on a stock exchange.
There is a wealth of information online which allows you to research a particular company and industry when trading shares. You can see upcoming earnings releases here.
Traditionally you would only be able to trade shares through a stockbroker. However, spread-betting allows you to trade the price of a share directly rather than holding actual shares. This means you don't have to pay Stamp Duty, Capital Gains Tax, accountant or stockbrokers fees*. You can also bet against companies that you believe will under-perform with ease.
When you own shares (and also with spread betting) you will be paid out a dividend which represents your share in the profit. The dividend paid to shareholders hinges on how much of the profits are reinvested and how much management distributes to shareholders. Find out more about receiving dividends when spread betting here.
