Return If Exercised

Sell 500 XYZ at 45 $22,500

Sell 500 XYZ at 40 20,000

Less total stock sale

commissions 560

Plus dividends ($1 /share) + 1,000
|

Less net investment - 39,600
|

Net profit if exercised $ 3,340

Return if exercised = 3,340 = 8_4%

Return If Unchanged
|
||||
Unchanged stock value (500
|
||||
shares at 42) $21,000
|
||||
Sell 500 at 40 + 20,000
|
||||
Commissions on sale at 40 280
|
||||
Plus dividends ($1 /share) . + 1,000
|
||||
Less net investment - 39,600
|
||||
Net profit if unchanged $ 2, 120
|
||||
Return if unchanged = 2, 120 = 5 _4%
|
||||
(cash) 39,600
|
||||
because half of the stock will be called away if it remains unchanged (the in-the
|
||||
money portion) whereas the other half will not. This is consistent with the method of
|
||||
calculating the return if unchanged that was introduced previously.
|
||||
The break-even point is calculated as before. The "total stock cost to expiration"
|
||||
would be the net investment of $39,600 less the $1,000 received in dividends. This is
|
||||
a total of $38,600. On a per-share basis, then, the break-even point of 38.6 is 8.1 %
|
||||
below the current stock price of 42. Thus, the amount of percentage downside pro
|
||||
tection is 8.1 %.
|
||||
The foregoing calculations clearly demonstrate that the returns on the "com
|
||||
bined" write are not exactly the averages of the in-the-money and out-of-the-money
|
||||
returns, because of the different commission calculations at various stock prices.
|
||||
However, if one is working with a computer-generated list and does not want to both
|
||||
er to calculate exactly the return on the combined write, he can arrive at a relatively
|
||||
close approximation by averaging the returns for the in-the-money write and the out
|
||||
of-the-money write.
|
||||
OTHER DIVERSIFICATION TECHNIQUES
|
||||
Holders of large positions in a particular stock may want even more diversification
|
||||
than can be provided by writing against two different striking prices. Institutions,
|
||||
pension funds, and large individual stockholders may fall into this category. It is often
|
||||
advisable for such large stockholders to diversify their writing over time as well as
|
||||
over at least two striking prices. By diversifying over time - for example, writing one-
