How to Spread Bet on Balfour Beatty? |
If you are going to invest in firms such as Balfour Beatty then one possibility could be spread betting on the Balfour Beatty share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting website like Capitalspreads, we can see they are pricing the Balfour Beatty Rolling Daily market at 317.0p - 318.0p. As a result, you can spread bet on the Balfour Beatty shares:
Increasing higher than 318.0p, or
Decreasing lower than 317.0p
When spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. So, if you chose to have a stake of £2 per penny and the Balfour Beatty share price changes by 28p then that would change your profits (or losses) by £56. £2 per penny x 28p = £56.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so it does not have a closing date. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will roll over to the next trading day.
If you do roll over a trade and you are spread betting that the market will:
Go higher - then you would normally pay a small financing fee, or
Go lower - then you'll normally receive a small credit to your account
You can learn more about Rolling Daily Markets in our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Balfour Beatty Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
So, if we take the above spread of 317.0p - 318.0p and assume:
- You have done your research, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel the Balfour Beatty share price looks like it will go higher than 318.0p
Then you could decide to buy at 318.0p and invest £10 per penny.
With such a bet you make a profit of £10 for every penny that the Balfour Beatty shares increase and go above 318.0p. On the other hand, it also means you will lose £10 for every penny that the Balfour Beatty market falls below 318.0p.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few sessions the share price started to increase then you might think about closing your position and therefore lock in your profits.
Taking this a step further, if the market did go up then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to 330.7p - 331.7p. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at 330.7p. Therefore, with the same £10 stake:
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
Trading equities, by spread betting or otherwise, is not easy. In the above example, you wanted the share price to increase. Of course, the share price can also decrease.
If the Balfour Beatty stock had started to fall then you might choose to close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.
So if the market dropped to 306.9p - 307.9p then this means you would settle your trade by selling at 306.9p. Accordingly, 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 market taken as of 31-Oct-12.
