Spread betting does have a big risk attached in that your losses, if you're wrong, can go way high.

- hessenwolf 15y agoSame as borrowing the stock, although still spread-betting is uncomfortably speculative for me.
- retube 15y agoYes it's a leveraged product but that doesn't mean you need to take any more risk. You can put on the equivalent risk of any physical trade. Tne only difference is you're not putting down the money upfront. And of course you can put on stop-loss limit to close the trade if your losses exceed your threshold.
