    Making a lot of money on spreadbetting

    Today has been a very good day trading the FTSE100, S&P500, BRENT and selling EURUSD.

    All tax free too.

        The way you're making money hand-over-fist from spread-betting, gold etc, one would think you would be able to afford that one-bed over the kebab shop in Hackney

            Unfortunately, even making £1K a day, I'm still not making as much as homeowners in Wandsworth.

              Very true. Neighbour moving to Singapore, 3 doors down, put their house on the market. Had an open day and offers went to sealed bids. She told me they got more than the asking, cash buyer.

              It's 2007 all over again.

                Being young and naive to such things, I wish I had two things:

                1) The knowledge of how to actually spreadbet (preferably with some sort of success rate)
                2) A bit more capital to play with (new to the contracting game so not sure I have what is classed as a 'war chest' just yet...)

                Still, I am working on both points. Any advice is appreciated!

                    WHS. And don't wear socks with sandals if you do.
