How to Spread Bet on Gilead Sciences? |
If an investor is looking to speculate on US listed companies like Gilead Sciences then one option could be spread betting on the Gilead Sciences share price.
Logging onto FinancialSpreads.com, you can see they are currently pricing the Gilead Sciences Rolling Daily market at $39.87 - $39.94. Therefore, an investor could put a spread bet on the Gilead Sciences shares:
 Increasing higher than $39.94, or
 Decreasing lower than $39.87
Whilst spread trading on S&P 500 shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you chose to invest £3 per cent and the Gilead Sciences share price changes by $0.32 then that would alter your P&L by £96. £3 per cent x $0.32 = £96.
Note that you are also able to invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no closing date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will stay open and roll over into the next trading session.
If you do roll over a bet and you are spread betting that the market will:
Move up - then you'll be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Move down - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
For a more detailed breakdown of Rolling Daily Markets please read our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Gilead Sciences Rolling Daily - US Shares Trading Example |
So, if you think about the above spread of $39.87 - $39.94 and assume:
- You've analysed the markets, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel that the Gilead Sciences share price will increase and move above $39.94
Then you might choose to go long of the market at $39.94 and invest, let’s say, £4 per cent.
So, you gain £4 for every cent that the Gilead Sciences shares increase and go higher than $39.94. However, such a bet also means that you will lose £4 for every cent that the Gilead Sciences market moves below $39.94.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market 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 position in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to $40.22 - $40.29. You would close your trade by selling at $40.22. As a result, with the same £4 stake your profit would come to:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($40.22 - $39.94) x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = $0.28 x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = 28¢ x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = £112 profit
Speculating on shares, whether by spread trading or otherwise, may not go to plan. With this example, you wanted the share price to increase. Nevertheless, the share price might go down.
If the Gilead Sciences stock decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you could choose to close your position to stop any further losses.
Should the market pull back to $39.69 - $39.76 then you would settle your position by selling at $39.69. That would mean you would make a loss of:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($39.69 - $39.94) x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -$0.25 x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -25¢ x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -£100 loss
