The Gist
|
||||
The diagram for a short diagonal is just the inverse of the long diagonal and, of
|
||||
course, looks very similar to the risk-return profile diagram for a short stock—
|
||||
accepting upside exposure in return for gaining downside exposure. The gist
|
||||
of this strategy is simply the short-exposure equivalent to the long diagonal, so
|
||||
the comments about the long diagonal are applicable to this strategy as well.
|
||||
The one difference is that because you must spend money to cover the short
|
||||
call on the upside, the subsidy that the option sale leg provides to the option
|
||||
purchase leg is less than in the case of the long diagonal. Also, of course, a stock
|
||||
price cannot turn negative, so your profit upside is capped at an amount equal
|
||||
to the effective sell price. This investment also may be ratioed (e.g., by using
|
||||
one short-call spread to subsidize two long puts).
