How to Spread Bet on Sears? |
If an investor wants to invest in companies like Sears then one solution is to spread trade on the Sears share price.
Looking at a spread trading platform like Tradefair, you can see that they are valuing the Sears Rolling Daily market at $47.09 - $47.28. As a result, an investor can spread trade on the Sears shares:
 Moving higher than $47.28, or
 Moving lower than $47.09
When spread betting on US equities you trade in £x per cent. So, if you choose to invest £4 per cent and the Sears share price changes by $0.39 then there would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £156. £4 per cent x $0.39 = £156.
You are also able to invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no set closing date for this market. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next day.
If you do roll over a trade and you are spread betting that the market will:
Go up - then you will normally be charged a small financing fee, or
Go down - then you'll normally receive a small credit to your account
For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Sears Rolling Daily - US Shares Trading Example |
Now, if you continue with the above spread of $47.09 - $47.28 and make the assumptions that:
- You have done your market research, and
- Your research leads you to think the Sears shares are likely to increase and go higher than $47.28
Then you may buy at $47.28 and invest £4 per cent.
So, you make a profit of £4 for every cent that the Sears shares move above $47.28. Of course, you will lose £4 for every cent that the Sears market moves below $47.28.
Considering this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is 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 price difference by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few days the shares started to increase then you might want to close your spread bet in order to lock in your profit.
If that happened then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to $47.71 - $47.90. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at $47.71. As a result, with the same £4 stake you would make a profit of:
Profit = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit = ($47.71 - $47.28) x £4 per cent stake
Profit = $0.43 x £4 per cent stake
Profit = 43¢ x £4 per cent stake
Profit = £172 profit
Trading equities, whether by spread betting or not, is not straightforward. In this case, you wanted the share price to increase. Nevertheless, the share price could go down.
If the Sears stock weakened, against your expectations, then you could choose to close your spread bet in order to limit your losses.
So if the market dropped to $46.81 - $47.00 you would settle your spread bet by selling at $46.81. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
Loss = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Loss = ($46.81 - $47.28) x £4 per cent stake
Loss = -$0.47 x £4 per cent stake
Loss = -47¢ x £4 per cent stake
Loss = -£188 loss
