Part II: Call Option Strategies
|
||||
Stock Price at Expiration
|
||||
The break-even point, maximum profit potential, and investment required are
|
||||
all quite simple computations for a bear spread.
|
||||
Maximum profit potential== Net credit received
|
||||
Break-even point== Lower striking price + Amount of credit
|
||||
Maximum Collateral investment = = risk required
|
||||
Difference in
|
||||
striking prices
|
||||
Credit + Commissions received
|
||||
In the example above, the net credit received from the sale of the October 30
|
||||
call at 3 and the purchase of the October 35 call at 1 was two points. This is the max
|
||||
imum profit potential. The break-even point is then easily computed as the lower
|
||||
striking price, 30, plus the amount of the credit, 2, or 32. The risk is equal to the
|
||||
investment. It is the difference between the striking prices - 5 points - less the net
|
||||
credit received - 2 points - for a total investment of 3 points plus commissions. Since
|
||||
this spread involves a call that is not "covered" by a long call with a striking price
|
||||
equal to or lower than that of the short call, some brokerage firms may require a
|
||||
higher maintenance requirement per spread than would be required for a bull
|
||||
spread. Again, since a spread must be done in a margin account, most brokerage
|
||||
firms require that a minimum amount of equity be in the account as well.
|
||||
Since this is a credit spread, the investor does not really "spend" any dollars to
|
||||
establish the spread. The investment is really a reduction in the buying power of the
|
||||
customer's margin account, but it does not actually require dollars to be spent when
|
||||
the transaction is initiated.
