How to Spread Bet on Comcast? |
Should you want to speculate on companies such as Comcast then one solution could be spread trading on the Comcast share price.
Looking at a site like FinancialSpreads.com, we can see they have put the Comcast Rolling Daily market at $38.87 - $38.92. As a result, you can put a spread bet on the Comcast share price:
 Going higher than $38.92, or
 Going lower than $38.87
Whilst spread trading on S&P 500 shares you trade in £x per cent. So, should you choose to invest £3 per cent and the Comcast share price moves $0.27 then that would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £81. £3 per cent x $0.27 = £81.
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 there is no set settlement date for this market. If your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next day.
If your position does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Increase - then you are charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you'll normally receive a small credit to your account
To find out more about Rolling Daily Markets read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Comcast Rolling Daily - US Shares Spread Betting Example |
Now, if you continue with the above spread of $38.87 - $38.92 and assume:
- You've completed your research into the company, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel that the Comcast shares are likely to move higher than $38.92
Then you could go long of the market at $38.92 and risk, let’s say, £5 per cent.
So, you win £5 for every cent that the Comcast shares go above $38.92. Nevertheless, it also means that you will lose £5 for every cent that the Comcast market falls lower than $38.92.
Looking at this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is calculated by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few days the shares moved higher then you might want to close your trade so that you can secure your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market did go up then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, could be adjusted to $39.21 - $39.26. To settle/close your trade you would sell at $39.21. So, with the same £5 stake:
Your Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Your Profit / loss = ($39.21 - $38.92) x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = $0.29 x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = 29¢ x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = £145 profit
Trading shares, by spread betting or otherwise, is not straightforward. In this case, you wanted the share price to rise. Nevertheless, it can also go down.
If the Comcast stock had fallen then you might choose to close your position to stop any further losses.
So if the market dropped to $38.59 - $38.64 then this means you would settle/close your trade by selling at $38.59. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Your Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Your Profit / loss = ($38.59 - $38.92) x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -$0.33 x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -33¢ x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -£165 loss
