There are no expiry dates on CFDs, so both long or short the CFD position can be held indefinitely as long as you can fund the position - see introduction to CFDs for more information on how financing works.
However, there is a general rule of thumb that states long CFDs, because they levy a financing charge, start to get expensive to hold after 4-6 weeks.
CFDs therefore are not best suited for investing in shares which you wish to hold for a long period. They are ideal for short term trading and speculation.
