How to Spread Bet on Pearson? |
Should you want to speculate on firms such as Pearson then one possibility could be spread trading on the Pearson share price.
Looking at InterTrader, you can see that they are currently showing the Pearson Rolling Daily market at 1211.3p - 1213.7p. This means an investor can spread trade on the Pearson share price:
Increasing higher than 1213.7p, or
Decreasing lower than 1211.3p
When spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you decide to have a stake of £4 per penny and the Pearson shares move 29p then that would alter your P&L by £116. £4 per penny x 29p = £116.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no settlement date for this market. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If you do let your position roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:
Rise - then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then a small payment is often credited to your account
For a more detailed guide to Rolling Daily Markets, including a fully worked example, please read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Pearson Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
So, if we consider the spread of 1211.3p - 1213.7p and make the assumptions:
- You've done your company analysis, and
- You feel that the Pearson shares will go higher than 1213.7p
Then you may decide to buy a spread bet at 1213.7p and risk £5 per penny.
So, you win £5 for every penny that the Pearson shares push above 1213.7p. However, it also means that you will lose £5 for every penny that the Pearson market moves below 1213.7p.
Looking at this from another angle, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
As a result, if after a few days the stock moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread might move to 1247.7p - 1250.1p. To settle/close your trade you would sell at 1247.7p. As a result, with the same £5 stake this trade would make you a profit of:
Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (1247.7p - 1213.7p) x £5 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 34.0p x £5 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £170.00 profit
Financial spread trading on shares doesn't always go to plan. In this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Nevertheless, it could fall.
If the Pearson share price decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you could close your position in order to limit your losses.
If the spread fell to 1182.8p - 1185.2p you would settle your position by selling at 1182.8p. As a result, your loss would be:
Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (1182.8p - 1213.7p) x £5 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -30.9p x £5 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£154.50 loss
Note - Pearson Rolling Daily equities market quoted as of 19-Oct-12.
