spread and a gamma of −0.72, one might think that his delta would increase
|
||||
to 0.90 with Bed Bath & Beyond a dollar lower (18 − [−0.072 × 1.00]). But
|
||||
because a week has passed, his delta would actually get somewhat more
|
||||
positive. The shorter-term call’s delta will get smaller (closer to zero) at a
|
||||
faster rate compared to the longer-term call because it has less time to
|
||||
expiration. Thus, the positive delta of the long-term option begins to
|
||||
outweigh the negative delta of the short-term option as time passes.
|
||||
In this scenario, Richard would have almost broken even because what
|
||||
would be lost on stock price movement, is made up for by theta gains.
|
||||
Richard can sell about 100 shares of Bed Bath & Beyond to eliminate his
|
||||
immediate directional risk and stem further delta losses. The good news is
|
||||
that if Bed Bath & Beyond declines more after this hedge, the profit from
|
||||
the short stock offsets losses from the long delta. The bad news is that if
|
||||
BBBY rebounds, losses from the short stock offset gains from the long
|
||||
delta.
|
||||
After Richard’s hedge trade is executed, his delta would be zero. His
|
||||
other greeks remain unchanged. The idea is that if Bed Bath & Beyond
|
||||
stays at its new price level of $56.50, he reaps the benefits of theta
|
||||
increasing with time from $18 per day. Richard is accepting the new price
|
||||
level and any profits or losses that have occurred so far. He simply adjusts
|
||||
his directional exposure to a zero delta.
