Most of us are accustomed to buying shares in the expectation that the price will increase, and then selling them to realise a profit," comments John Newman, head of business development at Sucden (UK). "A growing number of investors are aware that opportunities exist to profit when a share price falls. Few of us are fortunate enough to have a stockbroker who will permit us to sell shares that we do not own in the expectation of the price falling. However, using a CFD, it is simplicity itself to go short and achieve a profit, if your expectation of a fall in a share's price proves correct. The current market conditions offer great opportunities for investors who expect share prices to carry on falling.
