How to Spread Bet on RBS? |
Should you decide to invest in companies such as Royal Bank of Scotland then one possibility could be spread betting on the RBS share price.
Looking at a spread betting website like Financial Spreads, we can see that they are currently valuing the RBS Rolling Daily market at 282.0p - 282.6p. As a result, an investor could spread bet on the RBS shares:
 Going higher than 282.6p, or
 Going lower than 282.0p
Whilst spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, should you decide to risk £5 per penny and the RBS share price moves 24p then that would be a difference to your profit/loss of £120. £5 per penny x 24p = £120.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore it does not have a settlement date. If you leave your position open at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If your position does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Increase - then you will pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then a small payment is often credited to your account
If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
RBS Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
If you consider the spread of 282.0p - 282.6p and assume that:
- You have analysed the stock markets, and
- Your research suggests that the RBS share price looks like it will move higher than 282.6p
Then you may buy at 282.6p and invest £20 per penny.
With such a bet you make a profit of £20 for every penny that the RBS shares increase and move above 282.6p. Of course, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £20 for every penny that the RBS market goes below 282.6p.
Looked at another way, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
As a result, if after a few hours the share price started to move upwards then you could choose to close your trade in order to guarantee your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to 288.3p - 288.9p. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at 288.3p. So, with the same £20 stake your profit would come to:
Profits (or losses) = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (288.3p - 282.6p) x £20 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = 5.7p x £20 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = £114.00 profit
Speculating on shares, whether by spread trading or otherwise, can fail to go to plan. With this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Nevertheless, the share price can also fall.
If the RBS shares began to drop then you might choose to close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.
Should the spread pull back to 276.2p - 276.8p you would close your spread bet by selling at 276.2p. That would mean you would lose:
Profits (or losses) = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (276.2p - 282.6p) x £20 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = -6.4p x £20 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = -£128.00 loss
Note: Royal Bank of Scotland Rolling Daily spread quoted as of 19-Oct-12.
