1. How to Spread Bet on British Airways shares?
Currently, the British Airways (December) market is quoted at 150.0p - 150.7p with Capital Spreads.
As with many shares spread betting markets, you can spread bet on the future value of BA shares. In other words, spread bettors can speculate on BA stock rising or falling.
With the British Airways (December) market, which closes on 15-Dec-09, you can have a financial spread bet on:
BA stock to finish higher than 150.7p on the closing date, or
BA stock to finish lower than 150p on the closing date.
With this BA shares futures market you trade in £X per penny, where a penny is 1p of BA share price movement. As an example, if your stake was £20 per penny and the BA shares move 5p then that would be a £100 difference to your profit and loss.
BA Equities Trading Example
Eg, let's say you check the live prices on a spread betting site, like FinancialSpreads.com, and it gives the current spread of 150.0p - 150.7p. If you felt that the British Airways share price looked like it would go up then:
- You think the BA should go up
- So you go long (buy) at 150.7p and you decide to risk £10 per penny
- The market rises and, as a result, you run the bet until the settlement day
- The market closes at 160p on 15-Dec-09
- You bought the spread at = 150.7p
- P&L = (closing level - opening level) x stake
- P&L = (160.0p - 150.7p) x £10 per penny stake
- P&L = 9.3p x £10 per penny stake
- P&L = £93
Of course, if the trade did not work as expected and had the BA stock gone against you, finishing at a lower value of 143p, you would have made a loss on this trade.
- You bought the spread at 150.7p
- P&L = (closing price - opening level) x stake
- P&L = (143.0p - 150.7p) x £10 per penny stake
- P&L = -7.7p x £10 per penny stake
- P&L = -£77
