230 • The Intelligent Option Investor
|

In this case, you might choose to sell a single $195–$240 call spread, in
|
||||
which case your maximum exposure would be $4,500 [= 1 × (240 – 195) × 100]
|
||||
at the widest spread. This investment would have a leverage ratio of approxi-
|
||||
mately 1:1. Alternatively, you could choose to sell two $195–$220 spreads, in
|
||||
which case your maximum exposure would be $5,000 [= 2 × (220 − 195) ×
|
||||
100], with a leverage ratio of approximately 2:1. Which choice you select will
|
||||
depend on your assessment of the valuation of the stock, your risk tolerance,
|
||||
and the composition of your portfolio (i.e., how much of your portfolio is al-
|
||||
located to the tech sector, in this example of an investment in IBM). Because
|
||||
the monetary returns from a short-call or call-spread strategy are fixed and
|
||||
the potential for losses are rather high, I prefer to execute bearish investments
|
||||
using the long-put strategy discussed in the “Gaining Exposure” section.
|
||||
With this explanation of the short-call spread complete, we have all the
|
||||
building blocks necessary to understand all the other strategies mentioned
|
||||
in this book. Let’s now turn to two nonrecommended complex strategies
|
||||
for accepting exposure—the short straddle and the short strangle—both of
|
||||
which are included not because they are good strategies but rather for the
|
||||
sake of completeness.
|
||||
Short Straddle/Short Strangle
|
||||
Short Straddle
|
||||
RED
|
||||
Downside: Overvalued
|
||||
Upside: Overvalued
|
||||
Execute: Sell an ATM put; simultaneously sell an ATM call spread
