The Gist
|
||||
The market is pricing in a relatively high probability that the stock price
|
||||
will fall. An investor, from a longer investment time frame perspective,
|
||||
believes that the value of the stock is likely worth at least the present mar-
|
||||
ket value and perhaps more. The investor agrees to accept the downside
|
||||
risk perceived by the market and, in return, receives a premium for doing
|
||||
so. The premium cannot be fully realized unless the option expires out-
|
||||
of-the money (OTM). If the option expires in-the-money (ITM), the
|
||||
investor pays an amount equal to the strike price for the stock but can
|
||||
partially offset the cost of the stock by the premium received. The inves-
|
||||
tor thus promises to buy the stock in question at a price of the strike
|
||||
price of the option less the premium received—what I call the effective
|
||||
buy price.
|
||||
I think of the short-put strategy as being very similar to buying cor -
|
||||
porate bonds and believe that the two investment strategies share many
|
||||
similarities. A bond investor is essentially looking to receive a specific
|
||||
monetary return (in the form of interest) in exchange for accepting
|
||||
the risk of the business failing. The only time a bond investor owns a
|
||||
company’s assets is after the value of the firm’s equity drops to zero, and
|
||||
the assets revert to the control of the creditors. Similarly, a short-put in-
|
||||
vestor is looking to receive a specific monetary return (in the form of an
|
||||
option premium) in exchange for accepting the risk that the company’s
|
||||
stock will decrease in value. The only time a short-put investor owns a
|
||||
company’s shares is after the market value of the shares expires below the
|
||||
preagreed strike price.
|
||||
Because the strategies are conceptually similar, I usually think of short-
|
||||
put exposure in similar terms and compare the “yield” I am generating
