What are CFDs: Basic Guide

Contracts for Difference or CFDs http://www.contracts-for-difference.com/cfds/compare-brokers.html were developed to manage investment risk but can also be used to accelerate your investment performance. CFDs are leveraged products which mean they carry a higher level of risk to your capital than normal stock market investments, like traditional share dealing. CFDs let you speculate on share price movements without actually buying the share. Essentially it is an agreement between an investor and a provider to exchange the difference between the opening and closing price of the contract. So if the share increases in value, you will receive the value of that gain. However, if the share falls in value, you will lose an amount equal to that drop.
