How to Spread Bet on Linear Technology? |
If you are going to invest in companies such as Linear Technology then one option could be to place a spread bet on the Linear Technology share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting site like Tradefair, you can see that they are currently showing the Linear Technology Rolling Daily market at $37.22 - $37.27. Therefore, you can spread bet on the Linear Technology share price:
 Increasing higher than $37.27, or
 Decreasing lower than $37.22
Whilst financial spread betting on US shares you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you decided to risk £4 per cent and the Linear Technology share price changes by $0.28 then that would make a difference to your P&L of £112. £4 per cent x $0.28 = £112.
Note that you can also trade this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no preset closing date for this market. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it will just roll over into the next trading session.
If a position is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Rise - then you'll usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account

Linear Technology Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Trading Example |
If you think about the above spread of $37.22 - $37.27 and assume:
- You have done your analysis of the shares, and
- Your research suggests that the Linear Technology share price is likely to rise above $37.27
Then you could decide that you want to buy at $37.27 for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £4 per cent.
This means that you win £4 for every cent that the Linear Technology shares go higher than $37.27. Conversely, however, it also means that you will lose £4 for every cent that the Linear Technology market decreases lower than $37.27.
Considering this from another angle, if you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
As a result, if after a few sessions the shares moved higher then you could consider closing your trade and therefore lock in your profits.
So if the market moved up then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to $37.55 - $37.60. You would settle/close your trade by selling at $37.55. As a result, with the same £4 stake you would make:
Profit / loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = ($37.55 - $37.27) x £4 per cent stake
Profit / loss = $0.28 x £4 per cent stake
Profit / loss = 28¢ x £4 per cent stake
Profit / loss = £112 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or not, is not always easy. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would rise. However, the share price might fall.
If the Linear Technology stock had started to drop then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.
If the market fell to $36.95 - $37.00 then this means you would settle your trade by selling at $36.95. That would mean you would lose:
Profit / loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = ($36.95 - $37.27) x £4 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -$0.32 x £4 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -32¢ x £4 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£128 loss
Note - Linear Technology Rolling Daily equities market accurate as of 06-Feb-13.
