Stock Market Trading

How do Stocks Work?


Stocks have been around for quite some time. The Romans created them to finance public works through public funding, the Brits created the first joint stock company to finance trade, and the Dutch created the first publicly traded stock company so that anyone could get in on the action.

Time you got your share

For many years, the world of stocks and exchanges was off-limits to all but the rich and well connected. Rich because trading shares is expensive, and well connected, because without knowing all you can about a company, only a fool would invest. The online environment, however, has placed it all at our doorstep, and by leveraged trading of CFDs, one can trade share derivatives and index futures without breaking the house.
