The actual amount that the LEAPS calls lose in price increases slightly as the
|
||||
call is more in-the-money. That is, the curves are closer together on the left-hand
|
||||
(out-of-the-money) side than they are on the right-hand (in-the-money) side. For the
|
||||
in-the-money call, a $1 increase in dividends over two years can cause the LEAPS to
|
||||
be worth about 1 ½ points less in value.
|
||||
Figure 25-3 is to the same scale as Figure 25-2, so they can be compared direct
|
||||
ly in terms of magnitude. Notice that the effect of a $1 increase in dividends on the
|
||||
LEAPS call prices is much smaller than that of an increase in interest rates by 3%.
|
||||
Graphically speaking, one can observe this by noting that the spaces between the
|
||||
three curves in the previous figure are much wider than the spaces between the three
|
||||
curves in this figure.
|
||||
Finally, note that dividend increases have the opposite effect on puts. That is,
|
||||
an increase in the dividend payout of the underlying common will cause a put to
|
||||
increase in price. If the put is a long-term LEAPS put, then the effect of the increase
|
||||
will be even larger.
|
||||
Lest one think that LEAPS are too difficult to price objectively, note the follow
|
||||
ing. The prior figures of interest rate and dividend effects tend to magnify the effects
|
||||
on LEAPS prices for two reasons. First, they depict the effects on 2-year LEAPS. That
|
||||
is a large amount of life for LEAPS. Many LEAPS have less life remaining, so the
|
||||
effects would be diminished somewhat for LEAPS with 10 to 23 months of life left.
