Share Dealing and Stock Trading

Share trading remains the most common way to invest in the stock markets despite financial spread betting and CFD trading popularity amongst private investors in the UK as shares give investors actual control over the company (the more shares you have the more control you get over the way a company is run) and allow them to attend AGMs (annual general meetings). Besides all that, shareholders also get dividends and company annual reports.


Share Dealing Benefits

  • Share Ownership. Unlike derived products when you buy company shares you actually own a share of that company, thus giving you control over the way the company is run.
  • Voting Rights. Depending on the share of the company you own you may influence the board of directors on vital business decisions and future company strategies.
  • No interest. Since with share dealing you buy shares with your own money and not borrowing it from your broker there is no interest to pay for holding your position, thus making buying shares a perfect long term investment.
