Short techniques vs long techniques

slackjaw said:

With cfd's you earn interest on short position, so you get paid to sit on a short position that goes sideways. The interest earned is 2% below the RBA cash rate. With an amount of 500,000 thats enough to pay the mortgage, plus the prospect of covering at a lower price.

Really though, this would be used to offset the interest paid on leveraged long positions
