You did get a price that did not reflect the underlying asset. It work both ways you know. If you think CS is a joke, why are you trading with them?

Gle everything in Britain is a joke
Ha ha, yes you're probably right!
It makes me laugh that yo guys actually put up with this crap .....
Keep posting, next this I will hear is Gordon Brown as Sold the countires gold , hoooo he allready had when its was $370 🙂
On a sireiouse note, BOE Intrest rate in UK now at 0.25 with the high street lending at 11% Banks Get even more gready as Britans public stand for it ...
I now remember why my family left UK in the 1970s
If the UK public & goverment owns a % of its banks and still cant get them to pass on intrest rate cuts what hope has UK got ?

I would love to see spread betting being taxed. That will be highly amusing because what would be then be the point of CS and all the bookies. That would be brilliant, that would.😀
Yes I wouldn't be surprised if that is in the pipeline in the not so far future. SB positions are regarded as financial instruments by some officials here i Sweden. They are comparing SB positions being similar to options, and of these being liable for taxation. At the moment it is not taxable, but I believe that this will change in the years to come. I don't believe this will change the strong position of SB, on the contrary it will attract a new group of investors.

would like your views and comments please on the above thanks

Thanks.

I don't agree. Lots of traders will continue using SB even if they have to pay tax on profit. In fact many newbies would probably benefit as they can deduct the losses from their taxes. The tax issue is not why most people trade with SB. A minimum deposit, low entry level and easy access to the financial markets play a more important roll as I see it.

If you are relying on any of the latter you're going to get ****ed. Especially tiny deposit - extreme leverage is a very bad thing for most people 🙂

Aaaah! That's better... 😀
By the way, these guys, Interactive Investors, I agree that they have got something to do with City Index ( and therefore, Finspreads) as Tom Hougaard's mugshot is found there.
Are they any better than Fins?
Eduardo.
Mmmh! There's a lot to debate here; if you tax spreadbets, there will be little difference between SB and CFD, and some CFD providers offer very low minimum size, as little as 1 contract on the FTSE100, equivalent to £1ppp.
I would think that SB would lose the advantage.
Anybody agrees?
Eduardo.

well, cfd brokers work on commission so less than £5pp sbs are cheaper.
Ah! But some don't charge commission on indices, which is where I am getting to.
There's no advantage there.
Eduardo.
