The Gist
I include the straddle here for completeness sake. I have not included a
lot of the fancier multioption strategies in this book because I have found
them to be more expensive than they are worth, especially for someone
with a definite directional view on a security. However, the straddle is re-
ferred to commonly and is deceptively attractive, so I include it here to
warn investors against its use, if for no other reason.
The straddle shares many similarities with the strangle, of course, but
straddles are enormously expensive because you are paying for every pos-
sible price the stock will move to over the term of the options. For example,
I just looked up option prices for BlackBerry (BBRY), whose stock was
trading at $9.00. For the 86 days to expiry, $9-strike calls (delta = 0.56) and
$9-strike puts (delta = 0.44) were priced at $1.03 and $1.13, respectively.
