With American options, a put this far in-the-money with less than 71 days
|
||||
until expiry will be all intrinsic value. Interest, in this case, will not factor
|
||||
into the put’s value, because the put can be exercised. By exercising the put,
|
||||
both the long stock leg and the long put leg can be closed for even money,
|
||||
leaving only the theoretically worthless call. The stock-synthetic spread is
|
||||
sold at 0.46 and essentially bought at zero when the put is exercised. If the
|
||||
put is exercised before expiration, the profit potential is 0.46 minus the
|
||||
interest calculated between the trade date and the day the put is exercised.
|
||||
If, however, the conversion is held until expiration, the $0.46 is negated by
|
||||
the $0.486 of interest incurred from holding long stock over the entire 71-
|
||||
day period, hence the trader’s desire to see the stock decline before
|
||||
expiration, and thus the negative bias toward delta.
|
||||
This is, incidentally, why the synthetic price (0.46 over the stock price)
|
||||
does not exactly equal the calculated value of the interest (0.486). The
|
||||
trader can exercise the put early if the stock declines and capitalize on the
|
||||
disparity between the interest calculated when the conversion was traded
|
||||
and the actual interest calculation given the shorter time frame. The model
|
||||
values the synthetic at a little less than the interest value would indicate—in
|
||||
this case $0.46 instead of $0.486.
|
||||
The gamma of this trade is fairly negligible. The theta is slightly positive.
|
||||
Rho is the figure that deserves the most attention. Rho is the change in an
|
||||
option’s price given a change in the interest rate.
|
||||
The −0.090 rho of the conversion indicates that if the interest rate rises
|
||||
one percentage point, the position as a whole loses $0.09. Why? The
|
||||
financing of the position gets more expensive as the interest rate rises. The
|
||||
trader would have to pay more in interest to carry the long stock. In this
|
||||
example, if interest rises by one percentage point, the synthetic stock, which
|
||||
had an effective short price of $0.46 over the price of the long stock before
|
||||
the interest rate increase, will be $0.55 over the price of the long stock
|
||||
afterward. If, however, the interest rate declines by one percentage point,
|
||||
the trader profits $0.09, as the synthetic is repriced by the market to $0.37
|
||||
over the stock price. The lower the interest rate, the less expensive it is to
