Visual Representation of Call Options
|
||||
In a similar way that we created a diagram of the risk-reward profile of owner-
|
||||
ship in a common stock, a nice way of understanding how options work is to
|
||||
look at a visual representation. The following diagram represents a call option.
|
||||
There are a few things to note about this representation:

1. The shaded area (green) represents the price and time range over
|
||||
which the investor has economic exposure—I term this the range
|
||||
of exposure. Because we are talking about call options, and because
|
||||
call options deal with the upside potential of a stock, you see that
|
||||
the range of exposure lies higher than the present stock price
|
||||
(remember, “Call up”).
|
||||
2. True to one of the defining characteristics of an option mentioned
|
||||
earlier, our range of exposure is limited by time; the option pictured
|
||||
in the preceding figure expires 500 days in the future, after which
|
||||
we have no economic exposure to the stock’s upside potential.
|
||||
3. The present stock price is $50 per share, but our upside exposure only
|
||||
begins at $60 per share. The price at which economic exposure begins
|
||||
is called the strike price of an option. In this case, the strike price is
|
||||
$60 per share, but we could have picked a strike price at the market price
|
||||
of the stock, further above the market price of the stock (e.g., a strike
|
||||
price of $75), or even below the market price of the stock. We will inves-
|
||||
tigate optimal strike prices for certain option strategies later in this book.
