SHARES TRADING

What are Shares?

Shares are fractional portions of a company's ownership. These units comprise what is collectively referred to as 'stocks', hence the frequent interchangeability of these terms (shares and stocks) in the financial sector.

The activity of buying and selling these shares is called stock trading. Engaging in stock trades allows individuals to trade some of the largest companies in the world such as Tesla, Apple, Alphabet, Meta and more.

With Vantage, you can trade stocks of the biggest companies in the US through CFDs commission-free.

    Can trading stock make you rich?

    Stock trading has the potential to generate additional wealth, but it is not a guaranteed or quick path to riches. The stock market fluctuates based on a variety of factors, such as economic conditions, company performance, market sentiment, and global events. It is important to understand the risks involved and the possibility of incurring losses before engaging in trading.

    Can I start trading stock CFDs with $100?

    In short, yes. It depends on the broker that you open an account with, the trading plan that you’ve set out, as well as the leverage that you use on your trades.
    Leverage amplifies the effect of price changes, whether it’s a gain or loss, allowing you to trade significantly more in value with an initial capital of $100. However, trading with high leverage also comes with significantly higher risk, as you may lose more than your initial capital.

    What stock CFDs you may consider buying as a beginner?

    As a beginner, before buying any stock, it is important to research and understand the company and its business. Start by doing your research on the companies that you are familiar with and have a proven track record.
    Large, well-established companies, often referred to as "blue-chip" stocks, can be a good starting point to consider. Another way to get exposure to stocks is to consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which offer diversification as they track a broad market index or sector.
