220 • The Intelligent Option Investor
|
||||
The decision to leave the position open must depend on what other
|
||||
potential investments you are able to make and how the stock position that
|
||||
will likely be put to you at expiration of the option contract stacks up on a
|
||||
relative basis. For instance, let’s assume that you had received a premium
|
||||
of $2.50 for writing the puts struck at $50. This gives you an effective buy
|
||||
price of $47.50. The stock is now trading at $43 per share, so you can think
|
||||
of your position as an unlevered, unrealized loss of $4.50, or a little under
|
||||
10 percent of your EBP . Y our new worst-case valuation is $55 per share,
|
||||
which implies a gain of about 15 percent on your EBP; your new best-case
|
||||
valuation is $65 per share, which implies a gain of 37 percent.
|
||||
How do these numbers compare with other investments in your port-
|
||||
folio? How much spare capacity does your portfolio have for additional
|
||||
investments? (That is, do you have enough spare cash to increase the size
|
||||
of this investment by selling more puts at the new market price or buying
|
||||
shares of stock? And if so, would your portfolio be weighted too heavily on a
|
||||
single industry or sector?) By answering these questions and understanding
|
||||
how this presently losing investment compares with other existing or poten-
|
||||
tial investments should govern your portfolio management of the position.
|
||||
An investor cannot change the price at which he or she transacted
|
||||
in a security. The best he or she can do is to develop a rational view of the
|
||||
value of a security and judge that security by its relative merit versus other
|
||||
possible investments. Whether you ever make an option transaction, this
|
||||
is a good rule to keep in mind.
|
||||
Let us now take a look at short calls and short-call spreads—the
|
||||
strategy used for accepting upside exposure.
