PUT-cALL PArITy
|
||||
Before the Black-Scholes-Merton model (BSM), there was no way to
|
||||
directly calculate the value of an option, but there was a way to triangulate
|
||||
put and call prices as long as one had three pieces of data:
|
||||
1. The stock’s price
|
||||
2. The risk-free rate
|
||||
3. The price of a call option to figure the fair price of the put, and vice
|
||||
versa
|
||||
In other words, if you know the price of either the put or a call, as long
|
||||
as you know the stock price and the risk-free rate, you can work out the
|
||||
price of the other option. These four prices are all related by a specific rule
|
||||
termed put-call parity.
|
||||
Put-call parity is only applicable to European options, so it is not ter-
|
||||
ribly important to stock option investors most of the time. The one time it
|
||||
becomes useful is when thinking about whether to exercise early in order
|
||||
to receive a stock dividend—and that discussion is a bit more technical. I’ll
|
||||
delve into those technical details in a moment, but first, let’s look at the big
|
||||
picture. Using the intelligent option investor’s graphic format employed in
|
||||
this book, the big picture is laughably trivial.
|
||||
Direct your attention to the following diagrams. What is the differ -
|
||||
ence between the two?
