Posted on 04:29 by Unknown
Jump straight to the book, or...

The last time I wrote about Skyepharma was over at Financial-Spread-Betting.com in my article titled Reaching for the Skye! I described how I had secured a £45 (but it could have been £450 or £4500) profit thanks to the meteoric rise of Skyepharma shares in April 2012.

With Spread Co having launched a brand new online trading platform, I've

Jump straight to the book, or...

I don't use the SpreadEx spread betting platform as much as I use some of the others, and this may be because I have somewhat outgrown it. This may be a compliment rather than an insult, however, because I remember how much I liked the simplicity of SpreadEx when I was starting out with spread betting.

World Spreads and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)

Posted on 06:39 by Unknown
Jump straight to the book, or...

Today I was pleased to receive an email from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) with a claim form attached. If you've not received yours by 6 July, and if you are owed less than £50,000 by the spread betting company formerly known as World Spreads (or one of its former "white label" brands like Ladbrokes), then I understand you should call the FSCS
