Found a post in the Capital Markets section of LinkedIn asking whether “CFD’s or Contract for Difference are a good trading tool?” The concern I had with the question posted was that it suggested that CFDs were developed to allow investors to “receive all the benefits of owning a stock without having to physically own the stock itself.” Unfortunately too many online trading investors take this view point and very quickly see their $$$ evaporate as they are hit by margin calls regardless of whether their positions are long or short.

Zimmer Frames A week or so ago I wrote about Marcus Schrenker, the 38-year-old Indiana money manager who tried to fake his own death after mis-managing clients money… Well he’s another adviser who has come a cropper… The story (I found it in the Sydney Morning Herald) discusses how a group of wealthy pensioners, nicknamed the “Geritol [...] News is the City has just reported what they describe as “another of those ‘you couldn’t make it up’ stories.” Picture this…Marcus Schrenker is a 38-year-old Indiana money manager who was very much concerned about the wrath of clients who were angry at losing out on annuity [...] I was reading in Money Management this morning that another alternative market was due to be launched in Australia to focus on technology company listings. Alternative Exchanges has always been a topic that has interested me. The Asia Pacific Technology Exchange (APTEX) will be launched in Sydney next week with the aim of becoming Australia’s NASDAQ.
