EXHIBIT 9.13 Isabel’s long put spread in Johnson & Johnson.
|
||||
62.50–65 Put Spread
|
||||
Delta −0.273
|
||||
Gamma−0.001
|
||||
Theta +0.005
|
||||
Vega −0.006
|
||||
These two spreads were bought for a combined total of 2.50. The
|
||||
collective position, composed of the four legs of these two spreads, forms a
|
||||
new strategy altogether.
|
||||
The two traders together have created a box. This box, which is empty of
|
||||
both profit and loss, is represented by greeks that almost entirely offset each
|
||||
other. Sam’s positive delta of 0.29 is mostly offset by Isabel’s −0.273 delta.
|
||||
Gamma, theta, and vega will mostly offset each other, too.
|
||||
Chapter 6 described a box as long synthetic stock combined with short
|
||||
synthetic stock having a different strike price but the same expiration
|
||||
month. It can also be defined, however, as two vertical spreads: a bull (bear)
|
||||
call spread plus a bear (bull) put spread with the same strike prices and
|
||||
expiration month.
|
||||
The value of a box equals the present value of the distance between the
|
||||
two strike prices (American-option models will also account for early
|
||||
exercise potential in the box’s value). This 2.50 box, with 38 days until
|
||||
expiration at a 1 percent interest rate, has less than a penny of interest
|
||||
affecting its value. Boxes with more time until expiration will have a higher
|
||||
interest rate component. If there was one year until expiration, the
|
||||
combined value of the two verticals would equal 2.475. This is simply the
|
||||
distance between the strikes minus interest (2.50–[2.50 × 0.01]).
|
||||
Credit spreads are often made up of OTM options. Traders betting against
|
||||
a stock rising through a certain price tend to sell OTM call spreads. For a
|
||||
stock at $50 per share, they might sell the 55 calls and buy the 60 calls. But
|
||||
because of the synthetic relationship that verticals have with one another,
|
||||
the traders could buy an ITM put spread for the same exposure, after
