Example: XYZ is trading at 82. There are 3-month calls with strikes of 80 and 90, and
|
||||
there are 2-year LEAPS calls at those strikes as well. The following table summarizes
|
||||
the available information:
|
||||
XYZ: 82 Date: January, 2002
|
||||
Option Price Delta
|
||||
April ('02) 80 call 4 s/a
|
||||
April ('02) 90 call i/a
|
||||
January ('04) 80 LEAPS call 14 3/4
|
||||
January ('04) 90 LEAPS call 7 1/2
|
||||
Suppose the trader expects a 3-point move by the underlying common stock, from 82
|
||||
to 85. If he were analyzing short-term calls, he would see his potential as a gain of 17/s
|
||||
in the April 80 call versus a gain of 3/s in the April 90 call. Each of these gains is pro
|
||||
jected by multiplying the call's delta times 3 (the expected stock move, in points).
|
||||
Thus, there is a large difference between the expected gains from these two options,
|
||||
particularly after commissions are considered.
|
||||
Now observe the LEAPS. The January 80 would increase by 2¼ while the
|
||||
January 90 would increase by 1 ½ if XYZ moved higher by 3 points. This is not near
|
||||
ly as large a discrepancy as the short-term options had. Observe that the January 90
|
||||
LEAPS sells for half the price of the January 80. These movements projected by the
