Brokers are fond of pointing out to possible buyers of options that they are a splendid thing to
|
||||
buy, and pointing out to sellers that they are a splendid thing to sell. They believe implicitly in
|
||||
this paradox. Thus the buyer does well, the seller does well, and it is not necessary to stress the
|
||||
point that the broker does well enough. Many examples can be cited showing all three of them
|
||||
emerging from their adventures with a profit. One wonders why the problem of unemployment
|
||||
cannot be solved by having the unemployed buy and sell each other options, instead of mooning
|
||||
around on those park benches.

■ Comparing Trading Strategies
|
||||
The existence of options greatly expands the range of possible trading strategies. For example, in the
|
||||
absence of an option market, a trader who is bullish can either go long or initiate a bull spread (in those
|
||||
markets in which spread movements correspond to price direction). However, if option-related trad-
|
||||
ing approaches are included, the bullish trader can consider numerous alternative strategies including:
|
||||
long out-of-the-money calls, long in-the-money calls, long at-the-money calls, short out-of-the-money
|
||||
puts, short in-the-money puts, short at-the-money puts, “synthetic” long positions, combined positions
|
||||
in futures and options, and a variety of bullish option spreads. Frequently, one of these option-related
|
||||
strategies will offer significantly better profit potential for a given level of risk than an outright futures
|
||||
position. Thus, the trader who considers both option-based strategies and outright positions should
|
||||
have a decided advantage over the trader who restricts his trades to only futures.
