Shorting Euro

showboat · 2010-03-29 20:29:55

if one thought that the euro was weakening, how would one (small time investor) go about taking advantage of this? is spread betting the only way? how can the normal guy go about taking a currency forward/future? are options the best way? help a brother out

Well you would need to decide what it was weakening against and after that there must be thousands of forex trading companies out there. Bang forex trading into google and you'll be spoilt for choice
