No one can predict short term market direction, but my longer term projections are always correct. For example I said earlier this year that the next leg down in equities would be at the end of summer*

Not just equities this time either bonds as well. Double bubble.

Sterling went haywire last night. Dropped 10% in a minute during Asian trading. Some algorithm gone wrong again no doubt. Almost reached parity with the euro at that stage as well before settling back to 0.89. Great time to go UK side.

That’s why spreadbetting is a fucking mug’s game. You could have a perfectly reasonable position and a brief market move wipes out your position.

Sometimes they will reinstate positions if it’s a false move but in general ya you’re absolutely right. Spreadbetting is really only high stakes gambling

Apparently it started, or at least became mainstream in cricket of all things. You could lose your shirt.

At least if you are having a punt you can only lose what you put down

Indeed. When even the bookies started to warn against spreadbetting, you know it’s for insiders and addicts only.

Sports spreadbetting is a good bit of craic.

Not on cricket, unless you are unhinged.

Can you not put stops in place to limit your loses ?

Doubt it, otherwise it would be a one way bet, unless you limit your winnings similarly

You do
