Stock Price July 50 call July 50 put Implied Volatility Put's Vega

50 7.15 6.54 69% 0.10
|

7.25 6.64 70% 0.10
|
||||
7.35 6.74 71% 0.10
|
||||
Thus, the put's vega is 0.10, too - the same as the call's vega was.
|
||||
In fact, it can be stated that a call and a put with the same terms have the same
|
||||
vega. To prove this, one need only refer to the arbitrage equation for a conversion. If
|
||||
the call increases in price and everything else remains equal - interest rates, stock
|
||||
price, and striking price - then the put price must increase by the same amount. A
|
||||
change in implied volatility will cause such a change in the call price, and a similar
|
||||
change in the put price. Hence, the vega of the put and the call must be the same.
|
||||
It is also important to know how the vega changes as other factors change, par
|
||||
ticularly as the stock price changes, or as time changes. The following examples con
|
||||
tain several tables that illustrate the behavior of vega in a typically fluctuating envi
|
||||
ronment.
|
||||
Example: In this case, let the stock price fluctuate while holding interest rate (5% ),
|
||||
implied volatility (70%), time (3 months), dividends (0), and the strike price (50) con
|
||||
stant. See Table 37-1.
|
||||
In these cases, vega drops when the stock price does, too, but it remains fairly
|
||||
constant if the stock rises. It is interesting to note, though, that in the real world,
|
||||
when the underlying drops in price especially if it does so quickly, in a panic mode
|
||||
- implied volatility can increase dramatically. Such an increase may be of great ben
|
||||
efit to a call holder, serving to mitigate his losses, perhaps. This concept will be dis
|
||||
cussed further later in this chapter.
