established, the theta is 0.009, just under a penny. If Disney share price is
|
||||
unchanged when three weeks pass, his theta will be higher. Exhibit 4.16
|

shows how thetas and theoretical values change over time if DIS stock
|
||||
remains at $35.10.
|

EXHIBIT 4.16 Disney 35 put—thetas and theoretical values.
|
||||
Mick needs to be concerned not only about what the theta is now but what
|
||||
it will be when he plans on exiting the position. His plan is to exit the trade
|
||||
in about three weeks, at which point the put theta will be −0.013. If he
|
||||
amortizes his theta over this three-week period, he theoretically loses an
|
||||
average of about 0.01 a day during this time if nothing else changes. The
|
||||
average daily theta is calculated here by subtracting the value of the put at
|
||||
23 days to expiration from its value when the trade was established to find
|
||||
the loss of premium attributed to time decay, then dividing by the number
|
||||
of days until expiration.
|
||||
Since the theta doesn’t change much over the first three weeks, Mick can
|
||||
eyeball the theta rather easily. As expiration approaches and theta begins to
|
||||
grow more quickly, he’ll need to do the math.
|
||||
At nine days to expiration, the theoretical value of Mick’s put is about
|
||||
0.35, assuming all other variables are held constant. By that time, he will
|
||||
have lost 0.45 (0.80 − 0.35) due to erosion over the 35-day period he held
|
||||
the position if the stock hasn’t moved. Mick’s average daily theta during
|
||||
that period is about 0.0129 (0.45 ÷ 35). The more time he holds the trade,
|
||||
the greater a concern is theta. Mick must weigh his assessment of the
|
||||
likelihood of the option’s gaining value from delta against the risk of
|
||||
erosion. If he holds the trade for 35 days, he must make 0.0129 on average
|
||||
per day from delta to offset theta losses. If the forecast is not realized within
|
||||
the expected time frame or if the forecast changes, Mick needs to act fast to
|
||||
curtail average daily theta losses.
