How to Spread Bet on Thomas Cook? |
Should an investor want to invest in UK companies such as Thomas Cook then one option is to spread trade on the Thomas Cook share price.
Looking at a site like FinancialSpreads, we can see they are currently offering the Thomas Cook Rolling Daily market at 116.8p - 117.4p. This means that you can put a spread bet on the Thomas Cook shares:
 Moving above 117.4p, or
 Moving below 116.8p
Whilst financial spread trading on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you risked £4 per penny and the Thomas Cook share price changes by 30p then that would alter your P&L by £120. £4 per penny x 30p = £120.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that it does not have a closing date. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.
Should your bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Rise - then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Thomas Cook Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
So, if you continue with the spread of 116.8p - 117.4p and assume that:
- You've done your stock market analysis, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel the Thomas Cook shares will go above 117.4p
Then you could decide that you are going to buy at 117.4p and risk, for example, £15 per penny.
Therefore, you make a profit of £15 for every penny that the Thomas Cook shares push higher than 117.4p. On the other hand, you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the Thomas Cook market goes lower than 117.4p.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
With this in mind, if after a few sessions the shares started to rise you might decide to close your spread bet to lock in your profit.
If that happened then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to 123.4p - 124.0p. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at 123.4p. Accordingly, with the same £15 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
Your profits (or losses) = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = (123.4p - 117.4p) x £15 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = 6.0p x £15 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = £90.00 profit
Financial spread trading can go against you. In this case, you had bet that the share price would increase. Of course, the share price could fall.
If the Thomas Cook share price began to drop then you could choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.
Should the market drop to 110.3p - 110.9p then you would settle your position by selling at 110.3p. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
Your profits (or losses) = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = (110.3p - 117.4p) x £15 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = -7.1p x £15 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = -£106.50 loss
Note - Thomas Cook Rolling Daily spread betting market taken as of 15-Apr-13.
