The gamma of the 37.50 call is about 72 percent that of the 35 call. But
|
||||
the theta of the 37.50 call is about half that of the 35 call. Kim is improving
|
||||
her gamma/theta relationship by buying the OTM, but with the call being so
|
||||
far out-of-the-money and so inexpensive, the theta needs to be taken with a
|
||||
grain of salt. It is ultimately gamma that will make or break this delta play.
|
||||
The price of the option is 0.20—a rather low premium. In order for the
|
||||
call to gain in value, delta has to go to work with help from gamma. At this
|
||||
point, the delta is small, only 0.185. If Kim’s forecast is correct and there is
|
||||
a big move upward, gamma will cause the delta to increase, and therefore
|
||||
also the premium to increase exponentially. The call’s sensitivity to gamma,
|
||||
however, is dynamic.
|
||||
Exhibit 4.7 shows how the gamma of the 37.50 call changes as the stock
|
||||
price moves over time. At any point in time, gamma is highest when the call
|
||||
is ATM. However, so is theta. Kim wants to reap as much benefit from
|
||||
gamma as possible while minimizing her exposure to theta. Ideally, she
|
||||
wants Disney to rally through the strike price—through the high gamma
|
||||
and back to the low theta. After three weeks pass, with 23 days until
|
||||
expiration, if Disney is at $37 a share, the gamma almost doubles, to 0.237.
|
||||
When the call is ATM, the delta increases at its fastest rate. As Disney rises
|
||||
above the strike, the gamma figures in the table begin to decline.
