The Intelligent Investor’s Guide to Option Pricing • 69

||||
Now let’s say that our analysis is absolutely right. Just after we buy the
|
||||
call options, the company makes its announcement, and the shares pop up
|
||||
by 5 percent. This changes the strike–stock price ratio from 1.05 to 1.00.
|
||||
All things being held equal, this should increase the price of the option
|
||||
because there would be a larger portion of the range of exposure contained
|
||||
within the BSM cone.
|
||||
However, as the stock price moves up, let’s assume that not everything
|
||||
remains constant but that, instead, implied volatility falls. This does hap-
|
||||
pen all the time in actuality; the option market is full of bright, insightful
|
||||
people, and as they recognize that the uncertainty surrounding a product
|
||||
announcement or whatever is growing, they bid up the price of the options
|
||||
to try to profit in case of a swift stock price move.
|
||||
In the preceding diagram, we’ve assumed an implied volatility of 35
|
||||
percent per year. Let’s say that the volatility falls dramatically to 15 percent
|
||||
per year and see what happens to our diagram:

The stock price moves up rapidly, but as you can see, the BSM cone shrinks
|
||||
as the market reassesses the uncertainty of the stock’s price range in the
|
||||
short term. The tightening of the BSM cone is so drastic that it more than
|
||||
offsets the rapid price change of the underlying stock, so now the option is
|
||||
actually worth less!
