cfds vs. options

  1. 25 Posts.
    Thought I'd get some views on what people think about the pros and cons of CFDs vs. options. Heaps of CFD providers have hit the market and are madly advertising, and now no-one seems to be talking about options any more.

    I reckon I can get this started with a few questions. Are CFDs really just options for beginners? Like a watered-down consumer version? That is, are they easier to understand, but not as flexible and far more expensive?

    Interested to see what people think.
