EXHIBIT 12.8 Delta-neutral long call, short stock position.
|
||||
With the stock at $49.70, the calls had +0.51 delta per contract, or +10.2
|
||||
for the 20-lot. The short sale of 1,000 shares got Bobby as close to delta-
|
||||
neutral as possible without trading an odd lot in the stock. The net position
|
||||
delta was +0.20, or about the equivalent of being long 20 shares of stock.
|
||||
Bobby’s objective in this case is to profit from an increase in implied
|
||||
volatility leading up to earnings.
|
||||
While Susie was looking for reversion to the mean, Bobby hoped for a
|
||||
further divergence. For Bobby, positive gamma looked like a good thing on
|
||||
the surface. However, his plan was to close the position just before earnings
|
||||
were released—before the vol crush and before the potential stock-price
|
||||
move. With realized volatility already starting to drop off at the time the
|
||||
trade was put on, gamma offered little promise of gain.
|
||||
As fate would have it, IV did indeed increase. At the end of the day before
|
||||
the July earnings report, IV was trading at 35 percent. Bobby closed his
|
||||
trade by selling his 20-lot of the 50 calls at 2.10 and buying his 1,000 shares
|
||||
of stock back at $50. Exhibit 12.9 shows the P&(L) for each leg of the
|
||||
spread.
