I’ve recently discovered the world of CFD trading

I’ve been investing in shares for the last 3 years or so. Don’t get me wrong, but shares suck! Seriously, it takes way too long for anything to happen. Sure you might grow your capital by 20% a year and double your money every four years or so, but when you have a starting capital of almost nothing, that million dollar goal seems awfully far away.

Enter a friend who studies actuaries and this thing called CFD. Interesting at first. Addictive soon after. It offers speed, excitement and riches - three things important to a budding 21 year old law student such as myself. I was hooked!

The thought of doubling my money in a few days just seemed so damn…

My quest for knowledge

Anyways, I hit the local Border’s book store and started reading as much as I can. It’s surprising how little number of good books cover CFD’s. Finally found one that I had actually heard about before called: Making money from CFD trading by Catherine Davey. The slightly ugly cover art disguised the true brilliance of the content within. After a quick skim through the first few chapters I was sold.

So here it begins, my attempt to make a killing off CFD trading.

Naive? Perhaps. But as Ralph W. Emerson said: “Every artist was at first an amateur“, and I sure am addicted!
