How to Spread Bet on Philip Morris? |
If you are looking to speculate on firms such as Philip Morris then one option is to spread trade on the Philip Morris share price.
Logging into Capitalspreads, we can see they are currently valuing the Philip Morris Rolling Daily market at $87.64 - $87.77. This means an investor can spread bet on the Philip Morris share price:
 Going higher than $87.77, or
 Going lower than $87.64
Whilst spread trading on US shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you choose to invest £3 per cent and the Philip Morris share price changes by $0.25 then that would change your bottom line by £75. £3 per cent x $0.25 = £75.
Note that you can also trade this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
An important aspect of this Rolling Daily Market is that unlike a futures market, there is no closing date. If a trade is still open when the markets close at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next session.
If you do let your position roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:
Rise - then you will usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account
For a fully worked example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Philip Morris Rolling Daily - US Shares Spread Trading Example |
Now, if we think about the above spread of $87.64 - $87.77 and make the assumptions:
- You've done your equities research, and
- Your research leads you to feel the Philip Morris shares are likely to increase and go higher than $87.77
Then you might choose to go long of the market at $87.77 for a stake of £3 per cent.
With such a spread bet you win £3 for every cent that the Philip Morris shares go above $87.77. Nevertheless, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £3 for every cent that the Philip Morris market decreases lower than $87.77.
Looked at another way, should you buy a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
If after a few hours the shares moved higher then you could consider closing your trade in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread could change to $88.20 - $88.33. You would close your trade by selling at $88.20. So, with the same £3 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($88.20 - $87.77) x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = $0.43 x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = 43¢ x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = £129 profit
Spread betting is not simple. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Naturally, it could decrease.
If the Philip Morris stock dropped then you might decide to settle/close your trade in order to restrict your losses.
So if the spread fell to $87.29 - $87.42 you would close your spread bet by selling at $87.29. As a result, your loss would be:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($87.29 - $87.77) x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -$0.48 x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -48¢ x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -£144 loss
Note - Philip Morris Rolling Daily spread betting price accurate as of 06-Feb-13.
