How to Spread Bet on Broadcom? |
If you are going to invest in US listed companies like Broadcom then one option is to spread trade on the Broadcom share price.
Logging onto InterTrader, we can see that they are currently pricing the Broadcom Rolling Daily market at $32.50 - $32.55. This means an investor can spread bet on the Broadcom share price:
 Rising above $32.55, or
 Falling below $32.50
Whilst spread betting on US shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you decide to invest £2 per cent and the Broadcom share price changes by $0.25 then that would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £50. £2 per cent x $0.25 = £50.
Note that you are also able to spread bet on this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
An important aspect of this Rolling Daily Market is that unlike a normal futures market, there is no closing date. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it will simply roll over to the next session.
If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Rise - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Fall - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Broadcom Rolling Daily - US Shares Spread Trading Example |
If we continue with the spread of $32.50 - $32.55 and assume:
- You have completed your company analysis, and
- You think the Broadcom shares are likely to go above $32.55
Then you may decide that you want to buy a spread bet at $32.55 and risk, for example, £3 per cent.
Therefore, you win £3 for every cent that the Broadcom shares move higher than $32.55. Nevertheless, such a bet also means that you will lose £3 for every cent that the Broadcom market goes below $32.55.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
If after a few trading sessions the stock started to increase then you might want to close your trade so that you can guarantee your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, could be adjusted to $33.01 - $33.06. In order to close your position you would sell at $33.01. As a result, with the same £3 stake your profit would be:
Profit = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit = ($33.01 - $32.55) x £3 per cent stake
Profit = $0.46 x £3 per cent stake
Profit = 46¢ x £3 per cent stake
Profit = £138 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or not, doesn't always go to plan. In this case, you had bet that the share price would increase. Naturally, the share price can also fall.
If the Broadcom share price began to fall then you might decide to settle/close your position to limit your losses.
Should the spread drop to $32.05 - $32.10 then this means you would close your spread bet by selling at $32.05. That would mean you would make a loss of:
Loss = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Loss = ($32.05 - $32.55) x £3 per cent stake
Loss = -$0.50 x £3 per cent stake
Loss = -50¢ x £3 per cent stake
Loss = -£150 loss
