Thus, if you thought that you would win $1 for each successful invest-
|
||||
ment you made, you might only be willing to pay $0.04 to play the game. In
|
||||
this case, you would be wagering $0.04 twenty times in the hope of making
|
||||
$1 once—paying $0.80 total to net $0.20 for a (probabilistic) 25 percent
|
||||
return.
|
||||
Now how much would you be willing to bet if the perceived chance
|
||||
of success was not 1 in 20 but rather 1 in 5? With options, we can increase
|
||||
the chance of success simply by altering the range of exposure. Let’s try this
|
||||
now by moving the strike price down to $60:
|
||||
5/18/2012 5/20/2013 249 499 749
|
||||
20
|

After moving the strike price down, one corner of the range of
|
||||
exposure we have gained falls within the BSM probability cone. This option
|
||||
will be significantly more expensive than the $70 strike option because the
|
||||
perceived probability of the stock moving into this range is material.
|
||||
If we say that the chance of this call option paying its owner $1 is
|
||||
1 in 5 rather than 1 in 20 (the range of exposure is within the 16 percent
|
||||
line, so we’re estimating it as a 20 percent chance—1 in 5, in other words),
|
||||
we should be willing to pay more to make this investment. If we expected
|
||||
to win $1 for every five tries, we should be willing to spend $0.16 per bet.
|
||||
Here we would again expect to pay $0.80 in total to net $0.20, and again
|
||||
our expected percentage return would be 25 percent.
