Beware of hidden charges

Article written by Anastasia Fiatmita

IF YOU buy a slice of papaya for 60 cents, not much can go wrong. You could get a rotten papaya or it might be sliced too thin, but you can always check before buying. The worst that can happen is you lose 60 cents.

‘Buyer beware’ works well with papaya.

When it comes to financial products, there are more places to hide the real risks, returns and costs. The stakes are also higher since people invest their life’s savings in financial products, but not papaya.

Financial Spread Betting is a rapidly growing area of investment that does not require the parties involved to exchange, or even own, the assets they are speculating on.

Spread betting is generally easiest to think of as a bet on the value of an asset, such as stocks and shares, to either increase or decrease at some specified point in the future.

A bet on the value to increase is usually called a ‘Buy’ bet or a ‘Long’ position, whereas a bet on the value to decrease is a ‘Sell’ bet or ‘Short’.

The profitability of such a bet is then determined by the accuracy of the bet made by the trader and the stake based on a ‘per point’ system.
