How to Spread Bet on Reed Elsevier? |
Should an investor decide to invest in UK listed companies like Reed then one option could be to spread trade on the Reed share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting site like Selftrade Markets, you can see that they are valuing the Reed Rolling Daily market at 609.6p - 610.9p. This means an investor could put a spread bet on the Reed shares:
 Moving higher than 610.9p, or
 Moving lower than 609.6p
Whilst financial spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you chose to risk £4 per penny and the Reed share price changes by 29p then there would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £116. £4 per penny x 29p = £116.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a futures market, there is no closing date. If your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over to the next day.
If you do let your bet roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:
Increase - then you normally pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account
To learn more about Rolling Daily Markets please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Reed Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example |
So, if you take the above spread of 609.6p - 610.9p and make the assumptions that:
- You've completed your stock market analysis, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel the Reed share price will move higher than 610.9p
Then you may buy at 610.9p and risk £5 per penny.
With such a spread bet you win £5 for every penny that the Reed shares increase and go above 610.9p. Conversely, however, you will make a loss of £5 for every penny that the Reed market moves below 610.9p.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
As a result, if the shares rose then you might want to close your spread bet so that you can guarantee your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market did go up then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to 629.2p - 630.5p. In order to close your position you would sell at 629.2p. Therefore, with the same £5 stake this trade would make you a profit of:
Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (629.2p - 610.9p) x £5 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 18.3p x £5 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £91.50 profit
Trading equities, by spread betting or otherwise, is not easy. With this example, you wanted the share price to increase. However, the share price can also fall.
If the Reed share price began to fall then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet in order to limit your losses.
Should the market fall back to 589.5p - 590.8p you would close your position by selling at 589.5p. Accordingly, your loss would be:
Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (589.5p - 610.9p) x £5 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -21.4p x £5 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£107.00 loss
Note - Reed Rolling Daily equities market accurate as of 19-Oct-12.
