TRADING IDEA

1 June 2016 By PDSNET

A strategy for making money from an investment. This can be as simple as buying a share which you think is going to go up, to complex strategies involving the use of derivative instruments and calculated spreads. It is important to distinguish between trading ideas that are investments and those which are speculative. With an investment you are typically buying into an equity share with the idea of holding it for many years and enjoying both dividends and capital growth. Speculative trading ideas are all about making a capital gain and dividends are not really considered.
