There are many dumb arguments on forums , with totally out of whack rational , even the chimps would die laughing at these dumb statements.
Use your loaf , use mine if you don't have any , no serious business minded spread betting company wants it's clients to lose .The more clients you have , the more newer clients you get , the more income is generated from annual increases in customers.If their customer base increases every year , they keep making more and more money in the following years.
They say 99 % lose , but I don't believe they want to screw their customers , so they end up with fewer and fewer customers , earning lower and lower income in the future years.
Why would a spread betting broker want it's clients to lose ?.It does not make sense.
In the old days , 20 years ago , they use to behave like bucket shops , robbing clients with stop hunting.I was one of their victims.
This trading industry is full of idiots and charlatans , who are prepared top make any noise on internet sites , these empty vessels make most noise.
