Stocks

A stock is an ownership share in a corporation. Each of these shares denotes part ownership as a shareholder or stockholder of that company. 

 Stocks are traded on exchanges all over the world; the largest is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Some of the stock you can trade now includes Amazon, Apple, and Netflix

Stock CFD (Contract for Difference) trading is a popular method for speculating on share prices without actually owning the underlying assets. It is a highly flexible—yet high-risk—approach favoured by short-term traders.

1.  What is Stock CFD Trading?

A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a financial derivative. When you trade a stock CFD, you are entering a contract with a broker to exchange the difference in a stock's price from the moment the contract is opened to when it is closed.
