EXHIBIT 11.3 Bed Bath & Beyond January–February 57.50 call calendar.
|
||||
A small and steady rise in the stock price with enough time to collect
|
||||
theta is the recipe for success in this trade. As time passes, delta will flatten
|
||||
out if Bed Bath & Beyond is still right at-the-money. The delta of the
|
||||
January call that Richard is short will move closer to exactly −0.50. The
|
||||
February call delta moves toward exactly +0.50.
|
||||
Gamma and theta will both rise if Bed Bath & Beyond stays around the
|
||||
strike. As expiration approaches, there is greater risk if there is movement
|
||||
and greater reward if there is not.
|
||||
Vega is positive because the long-term option with the higher vega is the
|
||||
long leg of the spread. When trading calendars for income, implied
|
||||
volatility (IV) must be considered as a possible threat. Because it is
|
||||
Richard’s objective to profit from Bed Bath & Beyond being at $57.50 at
|
||||
expiration, he will try to avoid vega risk by checking that the implied
|
||||
volatility of the February call is in the lower third of the 12-month range.
|
||||
He will also determine if there are any impending events that could cause
|
||||
IV to change. The less likely IV is to drop, the better.
|
||||
If there is an increase in IV, that may benefit the profitability of the trade.
|
||||
But a rise in IV is not really a desired outcome for two reasons. First, a rise
|
||||
in IV is often more pronounced in the front month than in the months
|
||||
farther out. If this happens, Richard can lose more on the short call than he
|
||||
makes on the long call. Second, a rise in IV can indicate anxiety and
|
||||
therefore a greater possibility for movement in the underlying stock.
|
||||
Richard doesn’t want IV to rock the boat. “Buy low, stay low” is his credo.
|
||||
Rho is positive also. A rise in interest rates benefits the position because
|
||||
the long-term call is helped by the rise more than the short call is hurt. With
