Apple(AAPL) (Apple) Real-Time Rate, Chart, Technical Analysis & Market Outlook

A US stock CFD lets you trade major US-listed companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla through a contract for difference. Without actually buying shares, you use leverage to profit from price movements. You can also go short, creating opportunities in both rising and falling markets.

Buying physical shares gives you ownership and shareholder rights, while a CFD is cash-settled with no ownership. CFDs allow leverage and short selling. Dividends are handled via 'dividend adjustments' (which may be treated differently from physical dividends for tax purposes).
