How to Spread Bet on Apple? |
If you want to speculate on US companies such as Apple then one solution could be to place a spread bet on the Apple share price.
Logging into Inter Trader, we can see they are valuing the Apple Rolling Daily market at $452.59 - $453.20. This means an investor could spread trade on the Apple shares:
 Going higher than $453.20, or
 Going lower than $452.59
Whilst spread betting on US shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you chose to risk £4 per cent and the Apple share price changes by $0.23 then that would change your profit/loss by £92. £4 per cent x $0.23 = £92.
You are also able to spread bet on this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no preset settlement date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over into the next day.
If a trade is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:
Increase - then you'll usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you will often receive a small payment to your account
Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.
Apple Rolling Daily - US Shares Trading Example |
If we think about the spread of $452.59 - $453.20 and assume:
- You've analysed the sector, and
- Your research leads you to feel the Apple share price will rise above $453.20
Then you may go long of the market at $453.20 for a stake of, for example, £0.2 per cent.
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £0.2 for every cent that the Apple shares go higher than $453.20. On the other hand, you will lose £0.2 for every cent that the Apple market moves below $453.20.
Considering this from another angle, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few hours the share price started to increase then you might want to close your trade and therefore lock in your profits.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, could be adjusted to $459.09 - $459.70. To close your position you would sell at $459.09. Accordingly, with the same £0.2 stake you would make:
Your Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your Profit / loss = ($459.09 - $453.20) x £0.2 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = $5.89 x £0.2 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = 589¢ x £0.2 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = £117.80 profit
Financial spread trading on shares is not always easy. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would go up. However, it might fall.
If the Apple stock weakened, against your expectations, then you could close your position to stop any further losses.
So if the spread fell to $447.76 - $448.37 then you would settle your position by selling at $447.76. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
Your Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your Profit / loss = ($447.76 - $453.20) x £0.2 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -$5.44 x £0.2 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -544¢ x £0.2 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -£108.80 loss
Note: Apple Rolling Daily spread correct as of 06-Feb-13.
