Seeing these calculations, the XYZ stockholder may feel that it is not advisable to
|
||||
write against his stock, or he may even be tempted to sell XYZ and buy AAA in order
|
||||
to establish a covered write. Either of these actions could be a mistake.
|
||||
First, he should compute what his returns would be, at current prices, from
|
||||
writing against the XYZ he already owns. Since the stock is already held, no stock buy
|
||||
commissions would be involved. This would reduce the net investment shown below
|
||||
by the stock purchase commissions, or $345, giving a total net investment (cash) of
|
||||
$23,077. In theory, the stockholder does not really make an investment per se; after
|
||||
all, he already owns the stock. However, for the purposes of computing returns, an
|
||||
investment figure is necessary. This reduction in the net investment will increase his
|
||||
profit by the same amount - $345 - thus, bringing the profit up to $1,828.
|
||||
Consequently, the return if exercised (cash) wpuld be 7.9% on XYZ stock already
|
||||
held. On margin, the return would increase to 11.3% after eliminating purchase com
|
||||
missions. This return, assumed to be for a 6-month period, is well in excess of 1 % per
|
||||
TABLE 2-17.
