How to Spread Bet on Berkshire Hathaway? |
If an investor is looking to speculate on firms such as Berkshire Hathaway then one possibility is to spread trade on the Berkshire Hathaway share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting website like InterTrader, we can see that they are currently offering the Berkshire Hathaway Rolling Daily market at $97.47 - $97.59. This means an investor could spread trade on the Berkshire Hathaway shares:
Rising above $97.59, or
Falling below $97.47
Whilst making a spread bet on S&P 500 shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you risked £4 per cent and the Berkshire Hathaway share price changes by $0.22 then there would be a difference to your P&L of £88. £4 per cent x $0.22 = £88.
You are also able to invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore it does not have a set settlement date. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it simply rolls over to the next session.
If you do let your trade roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:
Increase - then you will 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.
Berkshire Hathaway Rolling Daily - US Equities Trading Example |
So, if you consider the spread of $97.47 - $97.59 and make the assumptions:
- You've done your company analysis, and
- Your research suggests the Berkshire Hathaway share price looks like it will increase and move higher than $97.59
Then you might buy at $97.59 and risk £2 per cent.
With such a spread bet you win £2 for every cent that the Berkshire Hathaway shares rise above $97.59. However, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £2 for every cent that the Berkshire Hathaway market decreases lower than $97.59.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you ‘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 market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few trading sessions the share price moved higher then you might want to close your position to lock in your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to $98.30 - $98.42. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at $98.30. So, with the same £2 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profit = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit = ($98.30 - $97.59) x £2 per cent stake
Profit = $0.71 x £2 per cent stake
Profit = 71¢ x £2 per cent stake
Profit = £142 profit
Financial spread trading on shares doesn't always go to plan. In the above example, you wanted the share price to rise. Nevertheless, it can also fall.
If the Berkshire Hathaway stock had fallen then you could close your position to stop any further losses.
Should the spread pull back to $96.96 - $97.08 you would close your position by selling at $96.96. If so, that would mean you would lose:
Loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Loss = ($96.96 - $97.59) x £2 per cent stake
Loss = -$0.63 x £2 per cent stake
Loss = -63¢ x £2 per cent stake
Loss = -£126 loss
