44 Part II: Call Option Strategies.
|
||||
In general, out-of-the-money covered writes offer higher potential rewards but
|
||||
have less risk protection than do in-the-money covered writes. One can establish an
|
||||
aggressive or defensive covered writing position, depending on how far the call
|
||||
option is in- or out-of-the-money when the write is established. In-the-money writes
|
||||
are more defensive covered writing positions.
|
||||
Some examples may help to illustrate how one covered write can be consider
|
||||
ably more conservative, from a strategy viewpoint, than another.
|
||||
Example: XYZ common stock is selling at 45 and two options are being considered
|
||||
for writing: an XYZ July 40 selling for 8, and an XYZ July 50 selling for 1. Table 2-2
|
||||
depicts the profitability of utilizing the July 40 or the July 50 for the covered writing.
|
||||
The in-the-money covered write of the July 40 affords 8 points, or nearly 18% pro
|
||||
tection down to a price of 37 (the break-even point) at expiration. The out-of-the
|
||||
money covered write of the July 50 offers only 1 point of downside protection at expi
|
||||
ration. Hence, the in-the-rrwney covered write offers greater downside protection
|
||||
than does the out-of-the-rrwney covered write. This statement is true in general - not
|
||||
merely for this example.
|
||||
In the balance of the financial world, it is normally true that investment posi
|
||||
tions offering less risk also have lower reward potential. The covered writing exam
|
||||
ple just given is no exception. The in-the-money covered write of the July 40 has a
|
||||
maximum potential profit of $300 at any point above 40 at the time of expiration.
|
||||
However, the out-of-the-money covered write of the July 50 has a maximum poten
|
||||
tial profit of $600 at any point above 50 at expiration. The maximum potential profit
|
||||
of an out-of-the-rrwney covered write is generally greater than that of an in-the
|
||||
rrwney write.
