Shares Trading
Real Shares*
Traditionally, trading in the stock market means buying and selling shares – selling the highs and buying the dips – in a bid to make money on price differentials. Factors that influence the price of shares start with a company's performance, but also include economic indicators like inflation, interest rates, market sentiment and the economy. Even in a bear market some companies see their share price go up. So much depends on the company's performance, its perceived value and future expectations.
* Friedberg Direct does not currently offer real shares.
Share CFDs
Unlike real shares, when you buy or sell a contract for difference (CFD), you trade the underlying asset, not the share itself. This is why you can short a share CFD, whereas you can only sell a real share – that's to say, you can't make money by speculating on a drop in the price of a real share.
Trading CFDs on shares, you can also buy or sell a fraction of the value of that share. Trading with us, you can go as low 1/10th of the size of a share. So, for example, if Apple was currently trading at $100, you could open a trade in CFD on this stock for just $10.

Can I hold my positions long term?

Any positions held past the closing time of a stock exchange may be subject to a "financing charge" which reflects in a Friedberg account as "rollover." The financing adjustment will take place on the account after the close of the relevant stock exchange. Visit our CFD Product guide for more information.
The financing charges are updated daily and can be seen in the Trading Platforms under RollB and RollS.
