For investors, shares are one of the most popular trading instruments. There are many reasons
for adding shares and equities to your portfolio. One key reason why investing in shares can be
so attractive is the liquidity available. The market is full of ongoing supply and demand – so
it's always possible to find new and exciting opportunities.
There are other reasons too. For example, there's a clear and transparent correlation
between a company's share price and their underlying value. The better it performs, the more
likely it is for the share price to increase. Similarly, you can take advantage of volatility –
especially when companies are more exposed to prevailing economic or political events.
By trading shares as CFDs using leverage with FXOpen, another benefit is the smaller amount
of capital needed. That leverage gives you full market exposure.
