Figure 35.3 d compares the three types of long call positions to a long futures position. It should be
|
||||
noted that in terms of absolute price changes, the long futures position represents the largest position
|
||||
size, while the out-of-the-money call represents the smallest position size. Figure 35.3 d suggests the
|
||||
following important observations:
|
||||
1. As previously mentioned, the in-the-money call is very similar to an outright long futures
|
||||
position.
|
||||
2. The out-of-the-money call will lose the least in a declining market, but will also gain the least in
|
||||
a rising market.
|
||||
3. The at-the-money call will lose the most in a steady market and will be the middle-of-the-road
|
||||
performer (relative to the other two types of calls) in advancing and declining markets.
|
||||
Again, it should be emphasized that these comparisons are based upon single-unit positions that
|
||||
may diff er substantially in terms of their implied position size (as suggested by their respective delta
|
||||
values). A comparison that involved equivalent position size levels for each strategy (i.e., equal delta
|
||||
values for each position) would yield diff erent observations. This point is discussed in greater detail in
|
||||
the section entitled “Multiunit Strategies.”
