CFD/Share Trading
CFDs are an efficient means of trading shares, indices, commodities, and currencies. Find out why GCI is a global leader:
- All trading is commission-free with up to 400:1 leverage
- Free trading software with live charts and streaming quotes

The "CFD", or "Contract for Difference", was developed to allow clients to receive all the benefits of owning a stock without having to physically own the stock itself. For example, instead of purchasing 1,000 shares of Microsoft from a stock broker, a client could instead buy a 10 lots of Microsoft on the GCI CFD trading platform. A $5 per share rise in the price of Microsoft would confer to the client a $5,000 profit, just as if he had purchased the actual shares that are traded on the exchange. A major difference is that there are no exchange fees and many of the inefficiencies of trading the underlying shares on the exchange are eliminated. GCI can therefore offer CFDs with zero commissions and very attractive margin requirements. CFDs have grown in popularity dramatically over the past few years, and we believe that this will increasingly be the preferred way to trade the financial markets.
The other major benefit of trading a CFD is the fact that the client can trade on margin. CFD trading means clients can trade a full portfolio of Shares, indices, or commodities without having to tie up large amounts of capital. Using the example above, a client purchasing $50,000 worth of CFD Shares will only be asked for $2,500 margin.
CFD Performance
As with Shares, CFD investors benefit from normal market movements. Clients' open positions are valued in real time, with every tick of the market. Profits or losses similarly are credited to or debited from the clients account equity in real time.

Margin
Unlike physically purchasing stocks, clients only have to deposit approximately 5% of the value of the Shares. So if you want to buy $50,000 worth of Shares, you only need to have $2,500 on deposit with GCI.

Tees Maar Khan – Movie Review
Film: Tees Maar KhanCast: Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Akshaye Khanna
Rating:
Director: Farah Khan
Farah Khan tried all the industrial tricks to give a real hit during the Christmas with the hit pair Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in Tees Maar Khan. However, all the hypes created around ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ could not safeguard this latest Farah Khan flick.
Akshaye Khanna plays a superstar Aatish Kapoor, who dreams to win an Academy Award one day. Katrina is a wannabe actress Anya, who also happens to be the girlfriend of Tees Maar Khan (Akshay Kumar). The conman disguised as a Hollywood filmmaker Tees Maar Khan plans a big train robbery of 10, 000 kilograms of antiques and goes for a fake shooting of a film. He even goes on signing Aatish Kapoor as the hero and appoints some villagers for this purpose.
But then, the viewers will scratch their hair to find logic behind Aatish signing for the act. The film does not have the typical flavor of Farah Khan films. It seems she messed up the things after signing Akshay and Katrina or more concentration went to the much talked item number ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’. The spice factor is missing and tries to go by the slapstick way.
The film is a remake of 1966 movie Caccia Alla Volpe but one change in the Hindi version is that the robbery is shifted to train than the original ship. However, Farah could play around the interesting train plot and somewhere the magic and charm got lost. It seems Sheila is the only spicy thing in the story with her raunchy choreography.

No One Killed Jessica – Review
By BW Team 
Cast: Vidya Balan, Rani Mukerji
Rating:
Director: Raj Kumar Gupta
On April 29, 1999 a shot was fired from a .22 bore pistol whose loud reverberations lasted over a decade. The shot that killed a vivacious, aspiring model Jessica Lall was fired in the presence of more than 100 ’socialites’ present at a party in New Delhi. Yet, accused Manu Sharma walked free in 2006 prompting a newspaper headline that read “No One Killed Jessica”.
In the ensuing decade, Venod Sharma, father of the accused and a high profile congress leader, paid millions of rupees to silence witnesses. It was not until the Tehelka Magazine did a sting investigation and Star News aired the footage that justice was finally served.
“No One Killed Jessica” faithfully follows the case to emerge a winner.
Almost everyone knows the story. Yet, the film makes some interesting departures to keep the momentum going. A Barkha Dutt type character has been introduced in Rani Mukerji though the former did not have much to do with the case or its reinstatement. However, Rani lacks the intensity to pull off such a strong role and the strain shows.
On the other hand, Vidya Balan soars with the unglamorous, distraught and hunchbacked portrayal of Jessica’s sister.
Director Raj Kumar Gupta makes direct comment on the society we live in, its voyeuristic tendencies and the judiciary’s disregard for justice. Everyone knows the extent of corruption and rot in the system as symptomised by the acquittal of Manu Sharma, but the question as always is who would bell the cat if the police and judiciary do not.
In this case Tehelka, who did the sting investigation and Star News (and not NDTV that walks away with the praises in the film) that aired the footages did manage to right a wrong. But the question is not just of Jessica Lall, but the thousands like her whose cases have not had the light of justice shine upon them.
The Jessica Lall murder thus became an emblem of the rot in the democracy, police and judiciary.
The truth is, the culprits were not just Manu Sharma, his friends and his family, but Shayan Munshi who redacted his statements leading to Manu’s acquittal and Bina Ramani, both of whom continue to have successful careers, one as an actor-model and the latter as a heedless socialite. The culprit is all of us who stay silent to the injustice all around us.
The injustice done in Jessica’s case has been corrected, but the question remains of the millions of other cases of injustice in the country.
Gupta’s film on a true incident bodes well for Bollywood, which is normally not too keen on reality, and the concept of justice itself. Yet, the question is not who killed Jessica Lall, but as the gross miscarriage of injustice in Kashmir, central and northeast India and the thousands of pending cases in the country show — it is: who killed justice in India?

GCI Trading
GCI Financial, otherwise known as GCI trading, is an established online trading broker. They offer various kinds of trading, including Forex and Share CDs, but they have something of a shady track record of customer service.
So, what does that mean for you? Well, it could mean several things, not the least of which is if you don’t have a fx trading account already with another forex broker, you might end up considering GCI. They’ve been around since 2002, and we have seen numerous complaints about their customer support and their general complacency towards growing a respectable company.
Here is one of the most exciting things you would get if you become a member of their forex community: commission-free trading. We don’t know how they do it, but that might be a reason to avoid them at all costs. Yes, GCI trading is one of the very few online forex sites that offer commission free trades. And, from what we have found at least, they are probably one of the only ones that needs to be looked in to.
As one of their many members in currencies trading, you will also have access to top notch, state-of-the-art foreign currency trading software. Even though this doesn’t equate to a solid broker, inside, you will find three separate online fx trading software options to try your hand at.
Finally, every account is given access to GCI Financial’s research utilities, which include a large supply of forex trading advice, as well as an advertised 24 hour support team for your convenience.
So, if you are still searching for the right place to start your foreign exchange account with, and you are considering GCI trading as one of your top few choices, you might want to reconsider. There have been many complaints against the company, many of which can be found on various online forex forums and communities around the Internet. In short, when dealing with GCI, keep a close watch on your pocket book.
With that said, we know there are other great programs out there for you to consider, and we hope to continue to help you in your decision making process.

- Meta Trader 4 – This is one of the most accepted forex trading platforms in the industry, and you get free access to it right of the bat with GCI trading.
- ICTS Forex – This software will give you access to trading forex, crude oil, gold, as well as stock indices. This software is a little more of a chore to use when compared with Meta Trader 4, but once you get the hang of it, you will surely enjoy all of the customization options, and eventually, it’s relative ease of use compared to certain other trading software out there.
- CFD/Share – In this software you will also get access to multiple markets, including forex, commodities, as well as stock market shares. If you’d like, however, all of this can be easily integrated into your Meta Trader 4 trading software, MT4 for short.

Yamla Pagla Deewana – Movie Review
Cast: Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Anupam Kher, Johny Lever, Kulraj Randhawa
Director: Samir Karnik
Rating:
Producer: Nitin Manmohan, Samir Karnik
When was the last time you went to see a movie to watch a real-life film family have fun? Was it 40 years ago in “Kal Aaj Aur Kal” when the Kapoor khandaan, grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor, son Raj and grandson Randhir Kapoor got together to show us how the generation gap can smother a free flow of ideas and emotions within a family?
In “Yamla Pagla Deewana” (YPD) where the Deol parivar puts its laughing heads together for a fun fiesta, the problem in the plot is just the opposite of what we saw in “Kal Aaj Aur Kal”. The generation gap has disappeared. Son Bobby Deol calls his father Dharmendra ‘Dharam’ in the formal moments and ‘Kamina’ when Bobby-boy is in a particularly affectionate mode of thought.
Both father-son go around conning the whole of Varanasi in the first, decidedly more deft and amusing half of this crazy, zany, irreverent ode to a dysfunctional family. Sunny Deol’s NRI character comes searching from Vancouver for a father and brother who are hardly in the mood to be found. Turban in place.
Cleverly, often wittily, written by Jasvinder Singh Bath, YPD is big broad burlesque-styled homage to the spirit of on-screen and off-screen camaraderie. The Deol brothers are in full form and have been cleverly cast to create a somewhat disembodied study in contrasts. Bobby is deliberately loud and hammy, almost like Salman Khan in “Dabangg” without the humour in uniform.
Sunny Deol in a more controlled avatar than the other two Deols does his larger-than-life heroic act with habitual panache. It’s interesting to see how Sunny balances out the guffaws with the fights. His character and the rest of the plot repeatedly hark back to the dhishum-dhishum bak-bak razmatazz of the 1970s when cinema was all about unabashed villain bashing on sets that were supposed to look like sets.
Director Samir Karnik who showed his sensitive side in the underrated “Heroes”, here muffles the mellow moods in a melee of harangue and one-liners.
Interestingly the lines of morality are delightfully blurred here. Dharmendra the ultimate super-hero of the 1970s is here an unapologetic con-man. One never knows when the he-man transforms into the hee-hee man. All that matters is that Dharmendra seems to be having fun in his sons’ company. The mood of mischievous gaiety is contagious even in the second comparatively less engaging half when the entire cast moves to rural Punjab where Bobby woos the comely Kulraj Randhawa and wins over her zanily autocratic father(Anupam Kher, in full farcical form) and his battalion of goofily macho patriarchs.
For better or worse all films about marriage and courtship in a Punjabi milieu always reminds us of Imtiaz Ali’s “Jab We Met”.
But hey, did Imtiaz’s film have Dharmendra’s first-born creating a ruckus after drinking whiskey out of a bucket? Nahin na? There are in-house Deol jokes and references to Dharmendra neo-classics “Sholay”, “Dharam-veer”, “Phool Aur Patthar” and “Pratiggya”, all adding up to a rather heartwarming tribute to the Deols.
The spirit of tongue-in-cheek irreverence dominates the proceedings. The film has a rough-at-the-edges feel to it, perhaps deliberately to accentuate the rugged humour.
By the time we come to the crazy climax in the godown in the second-half, someone comments, “This looks like a cheap godown set from a tacky Hindi movie.” And we get the point of this scrambled crazy-as-can-be exercise in subversive laughter.
Director Samir Karnik loves the Deols. The Deols love one another. And we love watching a diehard Deol fan of a director bring Bollywood’s family together in a comedy that keeps us smiling till the last breathless moment of hilarious havoc.
Yes we love this film’s anything-goes mood. There are some delectable cameos. Watch out for Sucheta Dalaal as a spaced-out Canadian-and-sex-starved spinster and Amit Mistry as a not-so-cool Punjabi dude. They get the point.

What a disaster by Farah after two SMASHING HITS.
Dont know what hve happened to Akshay, a series a debacle, De dana dan, khataa meetha, action replay… list goes on. He looks good in serious roles.
The big question in my mind is What was KATRINA doing in the film. After Rajneeti, atleast this wasn’t expected from her.
Shirish shud learn frm his mistake and stop writing stories.
Its a waste of time & money.
Farah is absolutely not encouraging her fans to come and see her movie again in future.
I would give this movie 1/2 stars, just for Akshay Khanna.
i would give this movie zeroo … sorry farah you cant make big hits without shahrukhan .. soo sorry 4 you …
