Notice that by moving the strike down from an expected 5 percent chance
|
||||
of success to an expected 20 percent chance of success, we have agreed that we
|
||||
would pay four times the amount to play. What would happen if we lowered the
|
||||
strike to $50 so that the exposure range started at the present price of the stock?
|
||||
Obviously, this at-the-money (ATM) option would be more expensive still:

The range of upside exposure we have gained with this option is not only
|
||||
well within the BSM probability cone, but in fact it lies across the dotted line in-
|
||||
dicating the “most likely” future stock value as predicted by the BSM. In other
|
||||
words, this option has a bit better than a 50 percent chance of paying off, so it
|
||||
should be proportionally more expensive than either of our previous options.
|
||||
The payouts and probabilities I provided earlier are completely made
|
||||
up in order to show the principles underlying the probabilistic pricing of
|
||||
option contracts. However, by looking at an option pricing screen, it is very
|
||||
easy to extrapolate annualized prices associated with each of the probabil-
|
||||
ity levels I mentioned—5, 20, and 50 percent.
|
||||
The following table lists the relative market prices of call options cor-
|
||||
responding to each of the preceding diagrams.
|
||||
1 The table also shows the
|
||||
calculation of the call price as a percentage of the present price of the stock
|
||||
($50) as well as the strike–stock price ratio , which shows how far above or
|
||||
below the present stock price a given strike price is.
