point at which these lines meet is an indication that IV may be beginning to
|
||||
get cheap.
|
||||
First, it’s a potentially beneficial opportunity to buy a lower volatility than
|
||||
that at which the stock is actually moving. The gamma/theta ratio would be
|
||||
favorable to gamma scalpers in this case, because the lower cost of options
|
||||
compared with stock fluctuations could lead to gamma profits. Second, with
|
||||
IV at 35 at the first crossover on this chart, IV is dipping down into the
|
||||
lower part of its four-month range. One can make the case that it is getting
|
||||
cheaper from a historical IV standpoint. There is arguably an edge from the
|
||||
perspective of IV to realized volatility and IV to historical IV. This is an
|
||||
example of buying value in the context of volatility.
|
||||
Furthermore, if the actual stock volatility is rising, it’s reasonable to
|
||||
believe that IV may rise, too. In hindsight we see that this did indeed occur
|
||||
in Exhibit 14.4 , despite the fact that realized volatility declined.
|
||||
The example circled on the right-hand side of the chart shows IV
|
||||
declining sharply while realized volatility rises sharply. This is an example
|
||||
of the typical volatility crush as a result of an earnings report. This would
|
||||
probably have been a good trade for long volatility traders—even those
|
||||
buying at the top. A trader buying options delta neutral the day before
|
||||
earnings are announced in this example would likely lose about 10 points of
|
||||
vega but would have a good chance to more than make up for that loss on
|
||||
positive gamma. Realized volatility nearly doubled, from around 28 percent
|
||||
to about 53 percent, in a single day.
