Table 35.6 d summarizes the profi t/loss results for various short put positions for a range of price
|
||||
assumptions. As can be seen, as puts move more deeply in the money, they begin to more closely
|
||||
resemble a long futures position. (As previously explained in the case of calls, sellers of deep in-the-
|
||||
money options should be cognizant of the real possibility of early exercise.) Short positions in deep
|
||||
out-of-the-money puts will prove profi table for the vast range of prices, but the maximum gain is
|
||||
small and the theoretical maximum loss is unlimited.
|
||||
Figure 35.6 d compares each type of short put to a long futures position. The short at-the-money
|
||||
put position will be the most profi table strategy under stable market conditions and the middle-of-
|
||||
the-road strategy (relative to the other two types of puts) in declining and rising markets. The short
|
||||
out-of-the-money put will lose the least in a declining market, but it will also be the least profi table
|
||||
strategy if prices advance. The short in-the-money put is the type of put that has the greatest potential
|
||||
and risk and, as mentioned above, there is a strong resemblance between this strategy and an outright
|
||||
long position in futures.
|
||||
It should be emphasized that the comparisons in Figure 35.6 d are based upon single-unit positions.
|
||||
However, as previously explained, these alternative strategies do not represent equivalent position
|
||||
sizes. Comparisons based on positions weighted equally in terms of some risk measure (e.g., equal
|
||||
delta values) would yield diff erent empirical conclusions.
