Theta
|
||||
Option buying is a veritable race against the clock. With each passing day,
|
||||
the option loses theoretical value. Refer back to Exhibit 4.3 . When three
|
||||
weeks pass and the time to expiration decreases from 44 days to 23, what
|
||||
happens to the call value? If the stock price stays around its original level,
|
||||
theta will be responsible for a loss of about 30 percent of the premium. If
|
||||
Disney is at $35 with 23 days to expiration, the call will be worth $0.73.
|
||||
With a big enough move in either direction, however, theta matters much
|
||||
less.
|
||||
With 23 days to expiration and Disney at $39, there is only 0.12 of time
|
||||
value—the premium paid over parity for the option. At that point, it is
|
||||
almost all delta exposure. Similarly, if the Disney stock price falls after
|
||||
three weeks to $33, the call will have only 0.10 of time value. Time decay is
|
||||
the least of Kim’s concerns if the stock makes a big move.
