SUMMARY
|
||||
40
|
||||
Stock Price at Expiration
|
||||
The strategies described in this chapter would not normally be used if the underly
|
||||
ing stock has listed put options. However, if no puts exist, or the puts are very illiq
|
||||
uid, and the strategist feels that a volatile stock could move a relatively large distance
|
||||
in either direction during the life of a call option, he should consider using one of the
|
||||
forms of the reverse hedge strategy - shorting a quantity of stock and buying calls on
|
||||
more shares than he is short. If the desired movement does develop, potentially large
|
||||
profits could result. In any case, the loss is limited to a fixed amount, generally
|
||||
around 20 to 30% of the initial investment. Although it is possible to take follow-up
|
||||
action to lock in small profits and attempt to gain on a reversal by the stock, it is wiser
|
||||
to let the position run its course to capitalize on those occasions when the profits
|
||||
become large. Normally a 2:1 ratio (long 2 calls, short 100 shares of stock) is used in
|
||||
this strategy, but this ratio can be adjusted if the investor wants to be more bullish or
|
||||
more bearish. If the stock is initially between two striking prices, a neutral profit
|
||||
range can be set up by shorting the stock and buying calls at both the next higher
|
||||
strike and the next lower strike.
