EXHIBIT 1.7 SPY protective put.
|
||||
The solid kinked line is the protective put (put and stock), and the thin
|
||||
dotted line is the outright position in SPY alone, without the put. The most
|
||||
Kathleen stands to lose with the protective put is $3.65 per share. SPY can
|
||||
decline from $140.35 to $139, creating a loss of $1.35, plus the $2.30
|
||||
premium spent on the put. If the stock does not fall and the insuring put
|
||||
hence does not come into play, the cost of the put must be recouped to
|
||||
justify its expense. The break-even point is $142.65.
|

This position implies that Kathleen is still bullish on the Spiders. When
|
||||
traders believe a stock or ETF is going to decline, they sell the shares.
|
||||
Instead, Kathleen sacrifices 1.6 percent of her investment up front by
|
||||
purchasing the put for $2.30. She defers the sale of SPY until the period of
|
||||
perceived risk ends. Her motivation is not to sell the ETF; it is to hedge
|
||||
volatility.
|
||||
Once the anticipated volatility is no longer a concern, Kathleen has a
|
||||
choice to make. She can let the option run its course, holding it to
|
||||
expiration, at which point it will either expire or be exercised; or she can
|
||||
sell the option before expiration. If the option is out-of-the-money, it may
|
||||
have residual time value prior to expiration that can be recouped. If it is in-
|
||||
the-money, it will have intrinsic value and maybe time value as well. In this
|
||||
situation, Kathleen can look at this spread as two trades—one that has
