I have friends who are skeptical of
CFD's and have no faith whatsoever with the
CFD mechanism (business model). They still swear by their
margin account.
Any comments from any
CFD users here ? Ever been forced to do something you didn't want to ?

i started out with 20-25k...... that was when i first started buying shares.....
only late last year i go into cfd, and my capital for this cfd is really very very small :D

When I started out, I only had 30k as capital.
So yeah, consistent profits is the key |

Yes, you got it.
However don't be surprised if SSE and Hang Seng decide to rebound later in the week.
Whatever it is, STI is at the mercy of Dow, SSE and Hang Seng.
It is getting increasingly challenging in this sense, when you have to deal with multiple markets and not just the local market.
When is China gonna hit us with another hike? You never know.
Big markets like Dow can just shrug it off. But not the tiny red dot called Singapore.

then like that...STI lagi worse right? if it's down when DJ/SP500 are up so strongly, when the latter 2 correct deeply...
BullishTempo ( Date: 09-Feb-2011 14:34) Posted:
Yes it does.
So wait for the correction to come before entering. |

BullishTempo ( Date: 09-Feb-2011 14:27) Posted:
There will be multiple small interest rate hikes of about 0.25 points for the rest of the year till China is satisfied that inflation is under control.
Like I said last night, the only way to trade STI for the moment is news and earnings announcements.
Otherwise get ready to shift your trading funds to US where stocks are benefiting most from QE2 and influx of smart money. |

say BT... now that the hike is done and market has reacted..
will the banks be any good?.. or they will still be lacklustre since it is mentioned somewhere that there is likelihood of more hikes... likely another coming before the next china CPI report after this coming one... ? |

This is what happens when funds are withdrawn and put to better use in other markets.

Count it as rubbish talk then. That's reali okay wif me.

i think you misunderstand. I'm considering going into the US market for long term, not short term speculation. Don't really appreciate your tone, by the way.
Gaecia ( Date: 09-Feb-2011 13:04) Posted:
I'm also in training myself up but still lose money on cfd a/c thou not alot. I think its a psychological issue for me to see statistics ie. margin, cash resources ticking live at the top of platform screen which affects me alot. Whenever i see deficit on trade order, i want to cutloss. Its a sure way to lose milkshakes like that zzzz. Whenever i attempt shorts to practice textbook theory in market's live firing range, its normally half of what i will go long on to reduce risk exposure.
As for some of us here (ie. crystal, ic and jfierce) who wants to venture into US market to strike it big, please ask yourself whether you've got the fortitude to win consistently on sgx first. Nyse is the world's largest casino stock market, so you've better be a good gamer because the house is one fast ticker.
You've got to lookout for pre market gaps, opening, lunchtime chop, closing and after market hours plus news reading sometimes thru the night. Can hardly have dinner with a peace of mind or go on dates at night if into active trading. First foray into foreign waters do not go trade on cfd or options, until one plans to topup like mad. If you don't have spare money to lose, then is it worth the risk. I'm saying all these with the exception of BT aura because he's in a completely different league.
