In my case, that's just ridiculous conspiracy theory. I don't work in the industry, never have worked in the industry and have never received any payment from the industry for any services. Unless you're talking about yourself. In which case, in the ...

I've already outlined my personal experiences on this thread but I can repeat it and go into more detail. I've held SB accounts with UK-based and regulated SB firms since March 2003. I've been running SB's on indices, commodities, stocks and forex ...

Are you serious? I'm actually making a profit from spreadbetting. Imagine you had a job and the boss said we're going to pay you a month's salary this year. But you'll still have got the same salary by the time you retire - at 110 years old.

PS: Whether I'm insane is a question I have to leave open to an on-going diagnosis. But even if I am insane, I'm certainly making a good deal of money out of spreadbetting. He said, laughing crazily on the way to the bank! Have a great week.

If you don't have any experience with UK financial spreadbetting, its no crime to just go ahead and admit it. Its just arrogant to pretend you're an expert in something in which you have zero experience and stupid to think anyone would give you any ...

You don't have to admit you don't know what you're talking about, its been obvious all along. You've never had an SB account, you've never done a SB, you've no personal experience with SB. Why should anyone listen to you on this?

But at the end of the day, though you talk a lot about financial spreadbetting, you've no direct personal experience in this have you? Happy to hear if I might be wrong.

This is a joke, but very predictable, I've been accused of being a paid stooge before. What I reply is that paid stooges don't exist for UK-based and FCA-regulated SB companies. I don't receive any remuneration from any SB firm (or any firm of any ...
