Spread betting targets from Delta Index. Delta Index, the Dublin based spread betting company, have updated us on which stocks they see heading lower in coming sessions. Morgan Stanley has been called a Sell at 2610 after the formation of a bearish MACD crossover. A stop loss has been advised at 2784 while an initial take profit target has been called at 2277. RBS is another spread betting target for those looking to go short. A sell has been called at 41 and a protective stop at 45 has been advised. An initial take profit target at 35 has been suggested by Delta Index analysts. Looking at the spread betting markets we see that strong earnings statements in the United States helped global stocks rebound further Wednesday after a warning over the U.S. credit rating earlier this week had rattled investors around the world. Several high-profile American companies, such as the investment bank Goldman Sachs Group, the chipmaker Intel Corp. and computer and the consulting-services company I.B.M. all delivered earnings that beat analysts’ expectations. That, alongside positive housing data, has helped stocks advance in the run-up to the Easter weekend, when many of the world’s leading stock exchanges will be closed for four days. “The reporting season continues to provide fuel for the fire,” the head of research at IG Index, Anthony Grech, said. The FTSE 100 in London was up 2.1 percent while the DAX in Frankfurt rose 2.7 percent. The CAC-40 in France was 2.4 percent. |

Spread betting at a glance
- Spread betting is a financial product that allows retail and professional investors access to the widest possible number and types of exchange traded instruments.
- The spread betting company that you trade through is the market maker, the trader does not actually take ownership of any underlying product. Hence, most jurisdictions do not charge stamp duty on any gains.
- The notion that you don't actually own the product ensures spread betting platforms are able to almost instantaneously execute orders on behalf of their client.
- Spread betting is a leverage product, your money is able to realise you impressive gains as your earnings come in multiples of the actual change in the underlying product that you are trading.
- This is of course where spread betting can also go spectacularly wrong. Losses can be huge, therefore we advise those that are spread betting, or are looking to go into spread betting, to enter each trade with a well thought out strategy. This also means setting a pre-determined stop loss so that losses are cut at a manageable level.
