Brokers

What is the exact role of the broker when it comes to buying and selling your shares on the sharemarket. How can a broker help you decide which shares to buy and sell? Once you have placed a trade with your broker either by telephone or online, what happens now? What happens to your shares and what role does your broker play?

Decide What You Want From Your Stockbroker

My pet peeves about CMC Mobile MarketMaker; no charting facility is a big downside as well as weak mobile phone reception: CMC Mobile MarketMaker is a smart innovation by CMC Markets the giant CFD provider. I say "smart" because this tool 'helps' traders with their business of trading and also 'helps' CMC Markets' bottom line. Although CMC Markets Mobile software is practical and useful, as a trader you are simply introducing yet another trading risk if you choose to trade with this tool which is widely available for GPRS enabled mobile phones.

I think this piece of software is a very smart move on behalf of CMC markets, probably the biggest CFD provider in the world. Personally, I think Mobile Market Maker is simply another route of temptation to overtrade. And when you overtrade – who wins? The broker, CMC Markets of course. Others may argue it is a win-win situation since CMC Markets practically invested their efforts in this mobile phone software so traders can trade wherever they want whenever they want.
