Chapter 23: Spreads Combining Calls and l'uts 357
|
||||
Looking at the negative side, the "calendar straddle" is the least attractive of the
|
||||
three strategies, primarily because one is forced to increase his risk after near-term
|
||||
expiration, if he wants to continue to hold the longer-term options. It is often diffi
|
||||
cult to find a "diagonal butterfly" that offers enough credit to make the position
|
||||
attractive. Finally, the "calendar combination" has the largest probability oflosing the
|
||||
entire debit eventually, because one may find that the longer-term options expire
|
||||
worthless also. (They are out-of-the-money to begin with, just as the near-term
|
||||
options were.)
|
||||
The strategist will not normally be able to find a large number of these positions
|
||||
available at attractive price levels at any particular time in the market. However, since
|
||||
they are attractive strategies with little or no margin collateral requirements, the
|
||||
strategist should constantly be looking for these types of positions. A certain amount
|
||||
of cash or collateral should be reserved for the specific purpose of utilizing it for
|
||||
these types of positions - perhaps 15 to 20% of one's dollars.
