How Internet Share Trading Can Boost Credit Crunched Profits

The current financial crisis is set to be on a par with some of the biggest crashes of the 20th century, and all outlooks for the future look pretty gloomy. Nevertheless there is still the opportunities for traders, investors and enthusiastic amateurs to earn a good income by making use of the variety of online share dealing and trading websites that have revolutionised our access to the stock market.

The history of our global boom and bust economy shows that the periods of downturn always mean the weakest links in the chain don’t survive. Only the strongest and most adaptable survive. Well, this applies to investors as much as businesses. The old school way of doing things, going through traditional stock broker, often means you end up paying pretty high fees. There are brokers who would take a 20% cut on investment profits in addition to a 2% fee annually. That can turn a 10% return into just 6% – even less depending on your management fees. The problem becomes even more acute when you factor in the credit crunch and the falling rates of profit. The truth is, many investors today finding it increasingly hard to maintain their profit margins using traditional channels of accessing the stock market.

This situation, however, is evolving. As the digital age matures, we’ve got access to instant real time information, high speed internet and sophisticated trading software. What this means is that you are now able, to a certain extent, to cut out the guy in between taking a cut of your profits, and trade directly on the market. Online sharedealing services allow you to manage your own portfolio at minimal cost.

An added benefit is that when you switch to online trading you can take a long term view of your investments. It’s a far smarter approach than only looking at the short term quick wins

Alongside the rise in the use of online stock brokers, the volatile markets are also leading to a huge rise in financial spread betting. This involves betting on a rise or fall in share prices and doesn’t involve stock purchase at all. It can be risky, but if you know what you’re doing it can yield excellent returns. A variant of financial spread betting is CFD trading, or Contracts for Difference. These are, quite simply, contracts between two people where each agrees to pay out on the difference between initial and final stock prices over a period of time. Spread betting and CFDs are both attractive alternatives to actually purchasing and selling shares amongst investors, particularly as you can profit from falling prices just as much as rising ones. They are both also really simple to get into online, which has also lead to the increasing usage of online CFD trading and spread betting of late.

The moral of the story? Just as the biggest companies and conglomerates are having to shape up, reduce costs and prove their versatility during the economic downturn, so must the individual investor. As far as safeguarding yourself against the slings and arrows of outrageous recession is concerned, the strongest tool in your belt might be to switch to online trading.
