Calendar Spreads
A calendar spread, also frequently called a time spread, involves the sale of one
option and the simultaneous purchase of a more distant option, both with the same
striking price. In the broad definition, the calendar spread is a horizontal spread. The
neutral philosophy for using calendar spreads is that time will erode the value of the
near-term option at a faster rate than it will the far-term option. If this happens, the
spread will widen and a profit may result at near-term expiration. With call options,
one may construct a more aggressive, bullish calendar spread. Both types of spreads
are discussed.
Example: The following prices exist sometime in late January:
XYZ:50
April 50 Call
(3-month call)
5
July 50 Call
(6-month call)
8
October 50 Call
(9-month call)
10
If one sells the April 50 call and buys the July 50 at the same time, he will pay a debit
of 3 points - the difference in the call prices plus commissions. That is, his invest­
ment is the net debit of the spread plus commissions. Furthermore, suppose that in 3
months, at April expiration, XYZ is unchanged at 50. Then the 3-month call should
be worth 5 points, and the 6-month call should be worth 8 points, as they were pre­
viously, all other factors being equal.
