How to Spread Bet on Diageo? |
Should an investor want to speculate on UK companies like Diageo then one possibility is to spread trade on the Diageo share price.
Looking at a site like Selftrade Markets, we can see they are currently valuing the Diageo Rolling Daily market at 1762.6p - 1765.4p. Therefore, an investor could put a spread bet on the Diageo shares:
 Going above 1765.4p, or
 Going below 1762.6p
When financial spread betting on FTSE 350 shares you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, should you choose to risk £4 per penny and the Diageo share price changes by 33p then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £132. £4 per penny x 33p = £132.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no closing date for this market. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it will stay open and roll over into the next day.
If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Increase - then you are normally charged a small financing fee, or
Decrease - 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.
Diageo Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Betting Example |
So, if you think about the spread of 1762.6p - 1765.4p and assume that:
- You have analysed the markets, and
- Your analysis leads you to think that the Diageo shares will push above 1765.4p
Then you could decide to go long of the market at 1765.4p for a stake of £4 per penny.
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £4 for every penny that the Diageo shares increase and move higher than 1765.4p. On the other hand, it also means you will lose £4 for every penny that the Diageo market decreases lower than 1765.4p.
Considering this from another angle, 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 initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
As a result, if the shares started to increase then you might think about closing your spread bet to lock in your profit.
As an example, if the market increased then the spread, set by the spreads firm, might be adjusted to 1796.3p - 1799.1p. You would close your position by selling at 1796.3p. So, with the same £4 stake you would make a profit of:
Your P&L = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
Your P&L = (1796.3p - 1765.4p) x £4 per penny stake
Your P&L = 30.9p x £4 per penny stake
Your P&L = £123.60 profit
Trading shares, by spread trading or otherwise, is not simple. In this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Of course, the share price might fall.
If the Diageo share price dropped then you might decide to settle/close your trade in order to limit your losses.
If the market dropped to 1738.9p - 1741.7p then you would settle your position by selling at 1738.9p. If so, that would mean you would lose:
Your P&L = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
Your P&L = (1738.9p - 1765.4p) x £4 per penny stake
Your P&L = -26.5p x £4 per penny stake
Your P&L = -£106.00 loss
Note: Diageo Rolling Daily market quoted as of 19-Oct-12.
