Mixing ExposurE
|
||||
Mixing exposure uses combinations of gaining and accepting exposure,
|
||||
employing strategies that we already discussed to create what amounts to
|
||||
sort of a short-term synthetic position in a stock (either long or short).
|
||||
These strategies, nicknamed “diagonals” can be extremely attractive and
|
||||
extremely financially rewarding in cases where stocks are significantly mis-
|
||||
priced (in which case, exposure to one direction is overvalued, whereas the
|
||||
other is extremely undervalued).
|
||||
Frequently, using one of these strategies, an investor can enter a po-
|
||||
sition in a levered out-of-the-money (OTM) option for what, over time,
|
||||
becomes zero cost (or can even net a cash inflow) and zero downside expo-
|
||||
sure. This is possible because the investor uses the sale of one shorter-tenor
|
||||
at-the-money (ATM) option to subsidize the purchase of another longer-
|
||||
tenor OTM one. Once the sold option expires, another can be sold again,
|
||||
and whatever profit is realized from that sale goes to further subsidize the
|
||||
position.
|
||||
This strategy works well because of a couple of rules of option pricing
|
||||
that we have already discussed:
|
||||
1. ATM options are more expensive than OTM options of the same
|
||||
tenor.
|
||||
2. Short-tenor options are worth less than long-tenor options, but
|
||||
the value per day is higher for the short-tenor options.
