218 • The Intelligent Option Investor
|
||||
investment will be expiring just about the time another short-put invest-
|
||||
ment is becoming attractive, so you can use the margin that has until re-
|
||||
cently been used to support the first position to support the new one.
|
||||
Obviously, this strategy only works when markets are generally trend-
|
||||
ing upward or at least sideways over the investment horizon of your short
|
||||
puts. If the market is falling, short-put positions expire ITM, so you are left
|
||||
with a position in the underlying stocks. For an option trader (i.e., a short-
|
||||
term speculator), being put a stock is a nightmare because he or she has
|
||||
no concept of the underlying value of the firm. However, for an intelligent
|
||||
option investor, being put a stock simply means the opportunity to receive
|
||||
a dividend and enjoy capital appreciation in a strong stock with very little
|
||||
downside valuation risk.
|
||||
The biggest problem arises when an investor sells a put and then re-
|
||||
vises down his or her lowest-case valuation scenario at a later time. For in-
|
||||
stance, the preceding diagram shows a worst-case scenario of $55 per share.
|
||||
What if new material information became known to you that changed your
|
||||
lower valuation range to $45 per share just as the market price for the stock
|
||||
dropped, as in the following diagram?
