How to Spread Bet on Google? |
If an investor wants to invest in companies like Google then one possibility is to spread bet on the Google share price.
Looking at a website like Inter Trader, you can see that they are currently valuing the Google Rolling Daily market at $770.86 - $772.19. This means an investor can spread trade on the Google share price:
 Moving above $772.19, or
 Moving below $770.86
Whilst financial spread trading on S&P 500 equities you trade in £x per cent. So, if you choose to have a stake of £4 per cent and the Google share price moves $0.38 then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £152. £4 per cent x $0.38 = £152.
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 closing date for this market. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it will stay open and roll over into the next trading session.
If you allow your bet to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
Go up - then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then a small payment is usually credited to your account
For a more detailed guide to Rolling Daily Markets, including a fully worked example, please read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Google Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Trading Example |
Now, if you consider the spread of $770.86 - $772.19 and assume that:
- You've completed your analysis of the shares, and
- You feel that the Google share price will increase and move above $772.19
Then you could decide that you are going to buy a spread bet at $772.19 and risk, let’s say, £0.2 per cent.
With such a bet you win £0.2 for every cent that the Google shares go higher than $772.19. Of course, it also means that you will lose £0.2 for every cent that the Google market decreases below $772.19.
Looked at another way, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out 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.
Therefore, if after a few trading sessions the shares rose then you might want to close your spread bet to lock in your profit.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread, determined by the spread betting company, could be adjusted to $781.26 - $782.59. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at $781.26. Accordingly, with the same £0.2 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
P&L = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
P&L = ($781.26 - $772.19) x £0.2 per cent stake
P&L = $9.07 x £0.2 per cent stake
P&L = 907¢ x £0.2 per cent stake
P&L = £181.40 profit
Trading shares, whether by spread betting or not, is not always simple. In this case, you wanted the share price to increase. However, it could decrease.
If the Google stock began to drop then you might choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.
So if the market fell to $763.89 - $765.22 then you would close your spread bet by selling at $763.89. As a result, your loss would be:
P&L = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
P&L = ($763.89 - $772.19) x £0.2 per cent stake
P&L = -$8.30 x £0.2 per cent stake
P&L = -830¢ x £0.2 per cent stake
P&L = -£166.00 loss
Note - Google Rolling Daily spread accurate as of 06-Feb-13.
