How to Spread Bet on Marks and Spencer? |
Should an investor want to invest in UK companies like M&S then one option could be to spread trade on the M&S share price.
Looking at a spread trading website like Inter Trader, we can see they are currently pricing the M&S Rolling Daily market at 391.9p - 392.5p. As a result, an investor could spread trade on the M&S shares:
 Rising above 392.5p, or
 Falling below 391.9p
Whilst making a spread bet on FTSE 350 shares you trade in £x per penny. So, should you decide to invest £4 per penny and the M&S shares move 34p then that would make a difference to your bottom line of £136. £4 per penny x 34p = £136.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a normal futures market, there is no settlement date. 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 trade is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Go up - then you usually pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then a small payment is usually credited to your account
For a fully worked example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
M&S Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Trading Example |
If we think about the spread of 391.9p - 392.5p and assume that:
- You have analysed the company, and
- Your research leads you to think the M&S share price looks like it will increase and go higher than 392.5p
Then you might decide to buy a spread bet at 392.5p for a stake of, for example, £10 per penny.
This means that you win £10 for every penny that the M&S shares go above 392.5p. Conversely, however, it also means that you will make a loss of £10 for every penny that the M&S market falls below 392.5p.
Put another way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated 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.
If after a few days the share price started to increase then you might think about closing your trade in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to 402.4p - 403.0p. To close your position you would sell at 402.4p. Accordingly, with the same £10 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profit = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (402.4p - 392.5p) x £10 per penny stake
Profit = 9.9p x £10 per penny stake
Profit = £99.00 profit
Trading equities, whether by spread betting or otherwise, doesn't always go to plan. In this example, you wanted the share price to increase. Naturally, it could go down.
If the M&S stock had fallen then you might decide to close/settle your position to stop any further losses.
Should the market pull back to 380.7p - 381.3p you would settle your spread bet by selling at 380.7p. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
Loss = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (380.7p - 392.5p) x £10 per penny stake
Loss = -11.8p x £10 per penny stake
Loss = -£118.00 loss
Note - M&S Rolling Daily spread correct as of 19-Oct-12.
