most famous and accessible ways of investment of available funds - "Forex" and the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange.If the first is a typical game of chance against the "kitchen" (including such tricks as fast draining decoy highly profitable PAMM account and adjust course admins "kitchen" by hand) do not know the underlying reason, the second one already gives a certain amount of the guarantee at least a partial refund.After all, "blue chip" stocks unsinkable "Sberbank", "Gazprom" and others, can be sold at any time or wait for the return, if not abused, "shoulders."
Poor tempted, but insightful and willing to develop the investor usually gain a dozen or two percent on standard stocks MICEX-RTS, begins to consider other instruments to enhance returns.Bought or written their own trading robots for scalping shtudiruet relevant literature, attend seminars.
But a relatively conservative investor closer still an option to trade shares manually.First person elementary buys a particular chip is cheaper and sell more expensive, following the alleged coursework growth.Practiced only intraday trading.It is important to have a tried and tested system in time to give a signal to buy or sell the asset.
Then comes the epiphany.The investor understands that you can earn and falling stocks, using all the charm of a so-called 'margin trading'.In the jargon, this is called "short".The fact that the RTS-MICEX rare days when falling everywhere.Sin does not extract profit from the situation.
Broker gives loans secured by a deposit or that paper.Action is sold at the current price.And if falls below its current market value, at some point, an investor buys a share re already at a lower price.And the difference between the previous and the current goes to the expense of profits.If the paper goes up, the broker deducts the amount from the security deposit.
There are even more advanced tools for profit than the margin trading, available to a private investor.It will focus on futures contracts for federal loan bonds (OFZ).In fact, it is the same government bonds that existed back in the USSR, rather, almost complete analog thereof.This tool is useful when "calm" on the market.You can earn even sideways.
OFZ bonds are obligations that the state takes over in exchange for the funds from the deposit investor.Issuers of federal loan bonds is the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation.Instead of paid regular coupon income.In his address at the moment there are the following types of OFZ:
- OFZ with debt amortization (BP)
- OFZ with fixed income (PD)
analogue of this financial instrument exists in the United States - US Treasuries.
And now, they say, the essence of the issue - on the RTS FORTS, can carry out transactions with the futures of the most liquid OFZ (supply contracts), which can be used to play on the rise in interest rates on coupon income federal loan bonds.It should be noted that such deals gives more "leverage" (OFZ bonds are included in the list of securities for which shorts allowed).In addition, you can earn futures and "short position".And all this with almost sideways!
So modern stock markets allow, at a sufficient level of competence, to make good money, driving a relatively small deposit of 100-300 thousand rubles from the federal loan bonds with a long tradition.Another thing you need to do to understand the terms of the exchange, legislation to develop an effective strategy, but it pays off.A majority of small "investors" are still playing thimbles on imaginary "Forex" unsecured, except for the numbers in the database, "cuisine" and the pyramids of various kinds.
