Not at all they are totally different. With CFD's you are trading the price.
Secondly you are only putting down 20% as Margin (As opposed to the standard
50%).
Thirdly these are individual stocks. You are basically trading CFD's on any
stock. IBM, CSCO, LU whatever you want.
With those dirrevatives, HOLDRS (HHH, BHH etc) or QUBES (QQQ), you are trading
a collective index and besides the margins are quite high.
Try shorting the HOLDRS (HHH, TTH etc). They demand over %100 margin
requirements. Go figure they dont like shorts.
