ZERO COUPON BONDS EXPLAINED
As the name suggests, a Zero-Coupon-Bond has no coupon (yearly interest) and is therefore sold at a heavily discounted price. When the bond matures, the holder receives the par value & with some types of bonds, accrued compound interest. Zero Coupon Bonds are generally long term investments and reach maturity in ten to twenty five years. This type of investment allows an investor to plan for a future event where funds will be required. If you are thinking about financing college fees in 15 years time, this could be the ideal investment strategy.

SPREAD BETTING ON THE FINANCIAL MARKETS
Financial spread betting allows potential investors to trade on the financial markets while not actually having physical ownership of the instruments they trade with.
In essence this means that a trader can bet on the direction of any financial instrument, be t shares, indices, commodities or FOREX without ever owning those instruments. While on the actual financial markets there there are the so called standard contract sizes, with financial spread betting anyone can decide on his own stake size. The bet is settled as the difference between the purchase and sell price.
