  6. Hello Carlyn, A CFD enables you to hypothesize on when the market prices will rise or fall in a quickly moving financial market containing instruments such as shares.

  8. Hello Jovan, Even though cryptocurrencies can act as a medium of exchange and is allowed in most if not all states, they can not be fully accepted as a valid currency, this is because they are less liquid and their demand usually fall so often making them unstable. These cryptocurrencies' supply is also not flexible. Apart from Bitcoin, which can act as a storage of value due to its stern dedication to little growth and good network distribution, other cryptocurrencies whose control is centralized make them impossible to attain the money functions. Bitcoin also is easily accepted as a medium of exchange; even it is in a few places. The whole function of money is usually to act as a unit of account, storage of value, and to serve as a medium of exchange. Cryptocurrencies are so scarce and highly volatile, and therefore it can be hard for them to fully take up the functions which the money does.

  10. Hi Jovan, Bitcoin is an excellent example of a cryptocurrency. The legality of any cryptocurrency usually differs from one state to another. Most countries are still changing the rules concerning these cryptocurrencies. It is important to note that most countries do not restrict the use of them, and they have directly allowed its citizens to use them. On the other hand, some have entirely restricted its use. Bitcoin, for example, has been made legal in most developed countries such as the U.S. Canada and Japan. In others such as china, it is restricted. India also has barred its banks from trading in them. Also, the majority of the laws applicable to various assets are also applied to Bitcoin. Such laws are the tax laws, whereby Bitcoin is treated as an asset and not a currency; therefore, it is not taken as a legal tender.
  11. Hello Carlyn, Like any other traded funds, while dealing with ETF, you are bound to pay for several expenses. The exchange-traded fund operates as a typical company, and companies have to incur costs in the course of their operations. One of the apparent costs you suffer is that of brokerage commissions. ETFs usually operate like stocks. And naturally, stocks will incur brokerage fees, so are ETFs. These commissions are generally different and depend on how frequent an investor is trading. You will also suffer Management Expense Ratio (MRE) while trading with ETFs. They come in the form of the management fee, which is usually paid to the administrator of the fund for being a trustee and managing the fund. MRE also constitutes operating expenses. These operating expenses may be fees that are to be paid to the members of the council of the EFTs. Many other costs are normally suffered during the buying and selling of an EFT. Good luck!
