CFD Trading

September 7th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in CFD Trading, Stock Market Minute

CFD stands for Contracts for Difference and is a stock market investing instrument that works very similarly to stocks.

The price of CFDs follows closely the underlying stock price. So the price Microsoft CFD will be very close to the price of the Microsoft stock itself.

The differences between CFDs and Stocks are:

  • You borrow and pay interest on 100% of the CFD price
  • You deposit around 10% of the CFD price so leverage is very high
  • CFD brokers either charge a standard brokerage fee OR a spread price where the CFD price you pay is slighly higher than the stock price
  • You can short CFDs just as easily can going long
  • When you go short, you get paid interest but you must pay the dividend
  • When you go long you receive the dividend but you must pay insurance
  • The dividend for CFDs is paid and received without any franking credits

How Renting Shares works

September 7th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Renting Shares, Stock Market Minute

This stock investing strategy is one of the safest strategies around but one that can deliver a great return of around 5% per month. It’s so safe in fact that you’re able to do it in your IRA account.  It’s a perfect cash flow strategy because you get money into your account the day you do it, and you don’t need to be in front of the computer all day.

So let’s get started in understanding this stock investing strategy. Let’s first look at how this stock investing strategy works and why it is so good in lowering risk and giving such great returns. Stock investing for regular monthly cash couldn’t be easier.

Right, let’s assume for a moment that we own some shares in a good company. I’ll show you later how to get the money to buy these shares. Let’s say that you bought this stock at $20 per share.

What we do is this… With this stock investing strategy we make an agreement with someone to buy our shares from us for say $21.00 if they ask us to on or before an agreed date (let’s say for this example the agreed date is the end of next month).

Because we are selling to them the right to buy our shares, they pay us a fee; let’s say 50 cents per share. So we have entered into an agreement to sell our shares that we bought for $20.00, to the other party for $21.00, if they ask us to by the end of next month. Pretty simple hey!

It’s similar to renting out your house, because when you rent out your house you give someone the right to use your house and in return you get paid rent.

Now when I explain this stock investing strategy to people I always get the same four questions…

1. Why would anyone pay me to buy my shares at a higher price than I paid for them?

2. How do I find someone to enter into an agreement like this?

3. How do we agree on the sell price, the fee and the date?

4. What’s the catch?

5. The Technical Stuff
