How to Spread Bet on Balfour Beatty? |
If an investor is looking to speculate on firms such as Balfour Beatty then one option could be spread trading on the Balfour Beatty share price.
Looking at a spread trading platform like Capital Spreads, we can see that they are currently showing the Balfour Beatty Rolling Daily market at 317.0p - 318.0p. Therefore, you can spread bet on the Balfour Beatty shares:
 Increasing higher than 318.0p, or
 Decreasing lower than 317.0p
When financial spread betting on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you decided to invest £2 per penny and the Balfour Beatty share price changes by 28p then that would alter your P&L by £56. £2 per penny x 28p = £56.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and therefore there is no set closing date for this market. If you leave your position open at the end of the day, it just rolls over into the next day.
Should your position roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Go higher - then you are usually charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Go lower - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
You can find more on Rolling Daily Markets, as well as a fully worked example, in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Balfour Beatty Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
If you consider the above spread of 317.0p - 318.0p and make the assumptions:
- You have done your analysis of the equities market, and
- Your research suggests that the Balfour Beatty share price will move higher than 318.0p
Then you may decide that you want to go long of the market at 318.0p and invest, for example, £10 per penny.
So, you make a profit of £10 for every penny that the Balfour Beatty shares push above 318.0p. Having said that, it also means that you will lose £10 for every penny that the Balfour Beatty market decreases lower than 318.0p.
Looking at this from another angle, should you buy a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
With this in mind, if after a few sessions the stock moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet to lock in your profit.
If that happened then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to 330.7p - 331.7p. In order to close your position you would sell at 330.7p. As a result, with the same £10 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
Profit = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit = (330.7p - 318.0p) x £10 per penny stake
Profit = 12.7p x £10 per penny stake
Profit = £127.00 profit
Speculating on shares is not straightforward. In this case, you wanted the share price to increase. Nevertheless, the share price can also go down.
If the Balfour Beatty shares began to fall then you could close your trade in order to restrict your losses.
If the spread dropped to 306.9p - 307.9p then you would settle your spread bet by selling at 306.9p. As a result, your loss would be:
Loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Loss = (306.9p - 318.0p) x £10 per penny stake
Loss = -11.1p x £10 per penny stake
Loss = -£111.00 loss
Note - Balfour Beatty Rolling Daily equities market taken as of 31-Oct-12.
