Betting on Shares
Why spread bet rather than buy shares? Tax-free, profiting from falling markets and leverage are the reasons spread betting is an ever more popular tool. The combined effect of commissions, stamp duty and market spreads usually means that for the short-term investor it's simply cheaper to open a spread bet than to actually buy and sell shares through a brokerage house.
In the past, the spread firms made a name for themselves during high profile flotations, creating a so-called 'grey market' and betting on where a company's share price would close at the end of the first day's trading. This was risky business but served as an attention-grabber, particularly when some of the big state enterprises were being privatised - given those circumstances it was natural for spread betting companies to start offering bets on equities to meet the popular demand.
IG Index was the first to start offering bets on a select number of FTSE-100 stocks. The range of opportunities available today are vast and varied - nowadays it's possible to bet UP or DOWN on any FTSE 100 or FTSE 250 shares as well as a limited range of AIM listed stocks. You can also bet on US shares including all DOW 30 shares, all of the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq 100 shares as well as many of the largest European, Asian and Australian securities. For instance, companies such as Pfizer, Google, Puma, BMW and Toyota are quoted by most spread betting proviiders even though they trade on markets outside the UK.

Customizing and Personalizing My Site
I might not want a large amount of text on my home page if I want to guide visitors toward my other pages. Instead of text, I can add photos or interesting links. One of the first things I would want to do is choose a template that reflects what my site is all about. Colors and themes are a great way to reinforce the message and purpose of my site.
