Symbol

XYZLB

XYALB (wrap symbol is XYA)
|

Note that the wrap symbol now allows the usage of Bin its standard interpretati<,n
|

once again.
|
||||
This process can be extended. Suppose that, by some miracle, this stock rose to
|
||||
205 prior to the December expiration. Things like this happened to Yahoo (YHOO),
|
||||
Amazon (AMZN), Qualcomm (QCOM), and others during the 1990s. If that hap
|
||||
pened, the exchange would now create another wrap symbol and use it to designate
|
||||
strike prices from 205 to 300. Suppose XYZ traded up to 210, and the exchange then
|
||||
said that YYA would now be the wrap symbol for the higher strikes. In that case, these
|
||||
symbols would exist:

Note that there doesn't have to be any particular relationship between the wrap sym
|
||||
bols and the stock itself; any three-character designation could be used.

LEAPS SYMBOLS
|
||||
A LEAPS option is one that is very long-term, expiring one or more years hence.
|
||||
Consequently, the expiration month codes encounter a problem with LEAPS similar
|
||||
to the one seen for striking price codes where wraps are concerned. The letter A
|
||||
stands for January as an expiration month code. However, if there is a LEAPS option
|
||||
on this same stock, and that LEAPS option expires in January of the next year, the
|
||||
letter A cannot be used to designate the expiration month of the LEAPS option, since
|
||||
it is already being used for the "standard" option. Consequently, LEAPS options have
|
||||
a different base option symbol than the "standard" base option symbol.
|
||||
Example: The current year is 2001. The OCC might have designated that, for IBM,
|
||||
LEAPS options expiring in the year 2002 will have the option base symbol VBM, and
|
||||
those expiring in the year 2003 will have the option base symbol WBM. Thus, the fol
|
||||
lowing symbols would be used to describe the designated options:
