|

2 Sell Call option $1/share $16/share Selling a covered call
|
||||
to take profits when
|
||||
stock reaches $20/
|
||||
share leaves the
|
||||
investor with down-
|
||||
side exposure and $1
|
||||
in premium income.
|

3 Sell Call option $0.75 ($11.75/
|

share)
|
||||
Stock falls to $11, and
|
||||
investor sells another
|
||||
covered call to
|

generate income to
|
||||
ameliorate the loss.
|
||||
In transaction 1, the investor buys the shares for $17. In transaction 2,
|
||||
when the stock hits $20 per share, the investor sells a covered call and receives
|
||||
$1 in premium. This reduces the effective buy price to $16 per share and
|
||||
means that the investor will have to deliver the shares if the stock is trad-
|
||||
ing at $20 or above at expiration. When the stock instead falls to $11, the
|
||||
investor—wanting to cushion the pain of the loss—sells another ATM cov-
|
||||
ered call for $0.75. This covered call commits the investor to sell the shares
|
||||
for $11.75. No matter how you look at it, buying at $16 per share and sell-
|
||||
ing at $11.75 per share is not a recipe for investing success.
|
||||
The first step in such a situation as this—when the price of a stock
|
||||
on which you have accepted downside exposure falls—is to look back
|
||||
to your valuation. If the value of the firm has indeed dropped because
|
||||
of some material negative news and the position no longer makes sense
|
||||
from an economic perspective, just sell the shares and take the lumps.
|
||||
If, however, the stock price has dropped but the valuation still makes
|
||||
for a compelling investment, stay in the position; if the investment is
