How to Spread Bet on Associated British Foods? |
If an investor wants to invest in firms like AB Foods then one solution is a spread bet on the AB Foods share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting website like FinancialSpreads.com, we can see they have priced the AB Foods Rolling Daily market at 1359.3p - 1361.7p. This means an investor can spread bet on the AB Foods share price:
 Going above 1361.7p, or
 Going below 1359.3p
Whilst making a spread bet on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. So, if you decided to risk £4 per penny and the AB Foods shares move 35p then that would be a difference to your profit/loss of £140. £4 per penny x 35p = £140.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
Note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and therefore there is no set settlement date for this market. If a trade is still open when the markets close at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If your bet does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Rise - then you will normally be charged a small financing fee, or
Fall - then a small payment is often credited to your account
For more information on Rolling Daily Markets, and a fully worked example, please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
AB Foods Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example |
So, if you think about the spread of 1359.3p - 1361.7p and assume:
- You have completed your research, and
- You think the AB Foods shares are likely to increase and go higher than 1361.7p
Then you may decide to buy at 1361.7p and risk, let’s say, £4 per penny.
So, you gain £4 for every penny that the AB Foods shares go above 1361.7p. Nevertheless, it also means that you will make a loss of £4 for every penny that the AB Foods market goes below 1361.7p.
Looked at another way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
With this in mind, if after a few trading sessions the share price started to rise you might decide to close your spread bet to secure your profit.
As an example, if the market increased then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to 1395.7p - 1398.1p. You would settle your position by selling at 1395.7p. As a result, with the same £4 stake your profit would be:
Your profits (or losses) = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = (1395.7p - 1361.7p) x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = 34.0p x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = £136.00 profit
Financial spread trading on shares doesn't always work out as you would have liked. With this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Naturally, the share price might decrease.
If the AB Foods stock had fallen then you might decide to close/settle your position in order to limit your losses.
Should the market drop to 1323.6p - 1326.0p you would close your trade by selling at 1323.6p. That would mean you would lose:
Your profits (or losses) = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = (1323.6p - 1361.7p) x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = -38.1p x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = -£152.40 loss
Note: AB Foods Rolling Daily spread correct as of 19-Oct-12.
