Trading Basics
Equities
Typically shares or indices of shares. Ordinary shares share the economic gains from a company after debt has been serviced.
Other Trading Basics
Bulls
Bulls are market participants and commentators that believe the price of a security will rise.
After-Hours Dealing
After-hours trading involves buying or selling securities outside of specified trading hours.
However, trading after hours may offer less liquidity, as fewer traders are operating at these times and spread betting firms may offer wider spreads as fluctuations can occur during these times.
