Shares, or equities, are certificates of company ownership typically purchased by investors and
traders on secondary markets called stock exchanges.
The value of a share is determined by the price at which a transaction would be likely to occur
were the shares to be sold, with the liquidity of the market a major determining factor as to whether
the share or shares can be sold at any given time.
Financial spread betting has a number of advantages over traditional share trading. For more information on
