With us, you’ll trade JDE Peet’s shares using leveraged derivatives such as CFDs, with possible tax benefits.²

Using leverage when trading means that you only need a small deposit, known as margin, to open your positions, while getting full exposure. Leverage increases both your possible profits and losses to the full value of the trade, so it’s important to take steps to manage your risk properly.

How to short JDE Peet’s shares

You can short JDE Peet’s shares via CFD trading with us. Short-selling means that you’re taking a ‘selling’ position (going short) on a company’s shares in an effort to make a profit from a falling share price.

With us, you can short-sell in these steps:

1. Create an account or log in
2. Search for ‘JDE Peet’s’ on our platform
3. Select ‘sell’ in the deal ticket
4. Choose your position size
5. Open and monitor your position

Naturally, the share price could go either way – therefore, you’d incur a loss if it rises when you’re short-selling. But if your prediction that it’ll fall is correct, you’d make a profit.

As you’d be using CFDs when short-selling, you’d be trading with leverage. So, you’d need to commit an initial deposit to get full exposure to your selected position size of JDE Peet’s shares. But remember, when trading with leverage, both possible profits and losses are increased to the full value of your trade.
