Vega: the measure of how much an option's price changes for an incremental
|
||||
change-usually one percentage point-in volatility.
|
||||
Vertical Spread: any option spread strategy in which the options have different
|
||||
striking prices but the same expiration dates.
|
||||
Volatility: a measure of the amount by which an underlying security is expected to
|
||||
fluctuate in a given period of time. Generally measured by the annual standard
|
||||
deviation of the daily price changes in the security, volatility is not equal to the beta
|
||||
of the stock. Also called historical volatility, statistical volatility, or actual volatility.
|
||||
See also Implied Volatility.
|
||||
Volatility Skew: the term used to describe a phenomenon in which individual
|
||||
options on a single underlying instrument have different implied volatilities. I 11
|
||||
general, not only are the individual options' implied volatilities different, but they
|
||||
form a pattern. If the lower striking prices have the lowest implied volatilities, and
|
||||
then implied volatility progresses higher as one moves up through the striking
|
||||
prices, that is called a forward or positive skew. A reverse or negative skew works
|
||||
in the opposite way: The higher strikes have the lowest implied volatilities.
|
||||
Warrant: a long-term, nonstandardized security that is much like an option.
|
||||
Warrants on stocks allow one to buy (usually one share of) the common at a ("(•r
|
||||
tain price until a certain date. Index warrants are generally warrants on the pri<·<·
|
||||
of foreign indices. Warrants have also been listed on other things such as cross-('m
|
||||
rency spreads and the future price of a barrel of oil.
|
||||
Write: to sell an option. The investor who sells is called the writer.
