Like the majority of leading equities listed on the stock exchanges like the LSE and the NYSE, you can speculate on the Goldman Sachs shares to rise or fall in value. With the Goldman Sachs Rolling Daily market, investors can spread bet on:
a) Goldman Sachs shares to increase above $166.15, or
b) Goldman Sachs shares to decrease below $165.96.
It should be noted that with the Goldman Sachs market you trade in £X per cent, where a cent is 1¢ of Goldman Sachs share movement. As a result, if you had a stake of £2 per cent and the Goldman Sachs shares move 4¢ then that would result in a difference to your bottom line of £8.
Goldman Sachs Shares Spread Betting Example
As a quick example, let’s say you see the real time price on an online spread trading website that shows the spread of $165.96 - $166.15. So, having done your analysis, you come to feel that the Goldman Sachs share price is going to go higher than $166.15. As a result:
- You believe that the Goldman Sachs shares should rise
- Therefore, you decide you want to ‘buy’ the market at $166.15 and invest £1 per cent
- The market rises and the spread changes to $167.48 - $167.67
- With the new spread you could choose to take your profit and close your bet. To do this you would sell at $167.48
- Buy price = $166.15
- Profit = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
- Profit = ($167.48 - $166.15) x £1 per cent stake
- Profit = $1.33 x £1 per cent stake
- Profit = 133¢ x £1 per cent stake
- Profit = £133 profit
Investments don’t always go to plan. If the trade did not work as forecast, and had the Goldman Sachs share price decreased, with the market decreasing to $164.90 - $165.09, then you may choose to close your position and stop any more losses. You would do this by selling at $164.90.
- Initial price you bought the spread bet at: $166.15
- Loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
- Loss = ($164.90 - $166.15) x £1 per cent stake
- Loss = -$1.25 x £1 per cent stake
- Loss = -125¢ x £1 per cent stake
- Loss = -£125 loss
