476 Part IV: Additional Considerations
|
||||
vt == volatility for the time period, t
|
||||
a == a constant (see below).
|
||||
The constants, a and t, are fixed under the assumptions in steps 1 and 2. The first
|
||||
constant, a, is the number of standard deviations of movement to be allowed. In our
|
||||
example, a == I. That is, the analysis is being made under the assumption that the
|
||||
stock could move up by one standard deviation. The second constant, t, is .25, since
|
||||
the analysis is for a 90-day holding period, which is 25% of a year. In this example:
|
||||
Vt == v-ft == .30 {is== .30 X .50 == .15
|
||||
so
|
||||
q == 4le· 15 == 41 X 1.16 == 47.64
|
||||
Thus, this stock would move up to approximately 475/s if it moved one standard devi
|
||||
ation in exactly 90 days.
|
||||
Step 4: Using the Black-Scholes model, the XYZ January 40 call can be priced.
|
||||
It would be worth approximately 81/s if XYZ were at 475/s and there were 90 days' less
|
||||
life in the call.
|
||||
Step 5: Calculate the profit potential. For this example, commissions will be
|
||||
ignored, but they should be included in a real-life situation.
|
||||
81/s-4 41/s Percent profit == --- == - == 103% 4 4
|
||||
Thus, if XYZ stock moves up by one standard deviation over the next 90 days, this call
|
||||
would yield a projected profit of 103%. Recall again that there is only about a 16%
|
||||
chance of the stock actually moving at least this far. If all options on all stocks are
|
||||
ranked under this same assumption, however, a fair comparison of profitable options
|
||||
will be obtained.
|
||||
Step 6 is omitted from this example. It would consist of performing a similar
|
||||
profit analysis (steps 4 and 5) on all other XYZ options, with the assumption that XYZ
|
||||
is at 475/s after 90 days.
|
||||
Step 7: Calculate the downside potential of XYZ. The formula for the downside
|
||||
potential of the stock is nearly the same as that used in step 3 for the upside poten
|
||||
tial:
|
||||
q = pe-avt
|
||||
== 4lc· 15 = 41 x .86 = 35.39
|
||||
XYZ would fall to approximately 35¼ in 90 days if it fell by one standard deviation.
|
||||
Note that the actual distances that XYZ could rise and fall are not the same. The
