How to Spread Bet on Shire? |
Should you decide to invest in companies such as Shire then one solution is a spread bet on the Shire share price.
Looking at a site like SelftradeMarkets, we can see that they have put the Shire Rolling Daily market at 1864.0p - 1867.0p. As a result, an investor could spread trade on the Shire share price:
 Moving higher than 1867.0p, or
 Moving lower than 1864.0p
Whilst spread betting on FTSE 350 shares you trade in £x per penny. So, if you chose to risk £5 per penny and the Shire shares move 36p then that would make a difference to your profits (or losses) of £180. £5 per penny x 36p = £180.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a futures market, there is no settlement date. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If you allow your bet to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
Move up - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Move down - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account
For a fully worked example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Shire Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Betting Example |
So, if we think about the above spread of 1864.0p - 1867.0p and assume that:
- You have analysed the stock market, and
- Your analysis leads you to think the Shire share price will increase and move higher than 1867.0p
Then you may decide that you are going to buy at 1867.0p for a stake of, let’s say, £4 per penny.
With such a spread bet you win £4 for every penny that the Shire shares rise above 1867.0p. Conversely, however, you will make a loss of £4 for every penny that the Shire market moves below 1867.0p.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
As a result, if after a few days the shares moved higher then you could consider closing your position so that you can secure your profit.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread might change to 1906.2p - 1909.2p. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at 1906.2p. So, with the same £4 stake your profit would come to:
Your profits (or losses) = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = (1906.2p - 1867.0p) x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = 39.2p x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = £156.80 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or not, is not simple. In this case, you wanted the share price to rise. However, it could decrease.
If the Shire share price dropped then you might decide to settle/close your trade in order to restrict your losses.
Should the market pull back to 1824.1p - 1827.1p then you would settle your position by selling at 1824.1p. As a result, your loss would be:
Your profits (or losses) = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = (1824.1p - 1867.0p) x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = -42.9p x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = -£171.60 loss
Note - Shire Rolling Daily spread betting market quoted as of 19-Oct-12.
