What share CFDs can I trade with ThinkMarkets?
ThinkMarkets provides CFDs on hundreds of listed companies across the US, UK, European, and Australian markets, including mega-cap stocks like Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, and Amazon, as well as a wide selection of mid- and large-cap shares across multiple sectors.
Do I own the underlying shares when trading stock CFDs?
No. Trading a share CFD means you are speculating on the price movement of the stock without taking ownership of the underlying shares. This means no shareholder voting rights, but it allows you to go short and to use leverage subject to regulatory limits.
Can I short-sell stocks with ThinkMarkets?
Yes. Share CFDs allow you to open short positions to profit from a falling share price, which is not possible with traditional share ownership. Short positions are subject to overnight financing charges and stock-specific borrowing costs.
What are the trading hours for share CFDs?
Share CFDs follow the trading hours of the underlying exchange. US stocks trade during NYSE/Nasdaq hours, UK shares during LSE hours, and so on. Some shares are available for extended-hours trading on selected accounts.
