 CFD Trading Rises in France on Financial-Transaction Tax 16-May-13 The number of investors using contracts for difference in France, the first European country to introduce a levy on financial transactions, has increased by nearly a quarter in the last year, according to a report. In the 12 months to February, 19,500 investors traded CFDs, 22 percent more than a year earlier, a release on May 14 from Investment Trends showed. The report is based on a survey of 15,409 French investors conducted between January and March. “This was predictable,” said Fabrice Seiman, co-chief executive officer of Lutetia Capital in Paris, who trades CFDs and helps manage and advise about $200 million. “It’s like what happened in the U.K. after the introduction of stamp duty. It’s logical. Stocks have been getting such bad press in the public eye anyway so the transaction tax hasn’t helped.”  Congratulations to these recent prize winners Name: P Byrne, VIC Name: S Pieper, VIC 1st Prize: R Kimeklis, QLD: Runner up: H Bellin, VIC Runner up: C Dall’Osto,QLD Runner up: C Silvester, NSW Runner up: J Landels, NSW Runner up: L Moyan, VIC Runner up: T Cook, NSW 1st Prize: J Milnar, VIC J Whitelaw, NSW P Gardiner, QLD 1st Prize: A Faber, NSW Runner up: V Stagnitta, VIC Runner up: F Lippett, QLD Runner up: J Reynolds, NSW Runner up: J Eleftheriou, NSW Runner up: R Brown, QLD 1st Prize Winner: W Easton, NSW S Harrison, QLD D.
