How to Spread Bet on GKN? |
If an investor is looking to speculate on firms like GKN then one solution could be to spread trade on the GKN share price.
Looking at a spread trading site like Selftrade Markets, we can see they are offering the GKN Rolling Daily market at 211.4p - 211.9p. Therefore, you can spread bet on the GKN share price:
Increasing higher than 211.9p, or
Decreasing lower than 211.4p
Whilst financial spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you chose to have a stake of £2 per penny and the GKN shares move 36p then that would alter your profits (or losses) by £72. £2 per penny x 36p = £72.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore there is no set settlement date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over into the next day.
If you do let your bet roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:
Rise - then you would normally pay a small financing fee, or
Fall - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account
If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
GKN Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
So, if we continue with the above spread of 211.4p - 211.9p and make the assumptions:
- You have analysed the company, and
- You feel that the GKN share price will rise above 211.9p
Then you might choose to buy a spread bet at 211.9p for a stake of £15 per penny.
So, you gain £15 for every penny that the GKN shares move higher than 211.9p. However, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the GKN market goes below 211.9p.
Put another 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 difference in price by the stake.
If after a few sessions the share price moved higher then you could consider closing your position and therefore lock in your profits.
If that happened then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to 218.3p - 218.8p. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at 218.3p. So, with the same £15 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profit = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit = (218.3p - 211.9p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit = 6.4p x £15 per penny stake
Profit = £96.00 profit
Trading equities, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not always easy. In the above example, you wanted the share price to increase. Of course, the share price can also fall.
If the GKN stock weakened, against your expectations, then you could close your trade to stop any further losses.
So if the market dropped to 204.7p - 205.2p then you would close your spread bet by selling at 204.7p. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Loss = (204.7p - 211.9p) x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -7.2p x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -£108.00 loss
Note - GKN Rolling Daily equities market accurate as of 19-Oct-12.
