196 • The Intelligent Option Investor
|

the company is taken out. Just keep in mind that the buyout premium is
|
||||
30 percent over the last price, not 30 percent over the price at which you
|
||||
decided to make your investment. If you buy 20 percent OTM call options
|
||||
and the stock decreases by 10 percent before a 30 percent premium buyout
|
||||
is announced, you will end up with nothing, as shown in the following
|
||||
timeline:
|
||||
$12-Strike Options Bought When the Stock Is Trading for $10
|
||||
• Stock falls to $9.
|
||||
• Buyout is announced at 30 percent above last price—$11.70.
|
||||
• 12-strike call owner’s profit = $0.

However, there is absolutely no assurance that an acguirer will pay some-
|
||||
thing for a prospective acguiree. Depending on how keen the acquirer is to get
|
||||
its hands on the assets of the target, it may actually allow the target company
|
||||
to go bankrupt and then buy its assets at $0.30 on the dollar or whatever. It is
|
||||
precisely this uncertainty that makes it unwise to commit too much capital to
|
||||
an idea involving a bad company—even if you think it may be taken out.

Portfolio Management
|

I like to think of intelligent option investing as a meal. In our investment
|
||||
meal, the underlying instrument—the stock—should, in most cases, form
|
||||
the main course.
|
||||
People have different ideas about diversification in a securities portfolio
|
||||
and about the maximum percentage of a portfolio that should be allocated to
|
||||
a specific idea. Clearly, most people are more comfortable allocating a greater
|
||||
percentage of their portfolio to higher-confidence ideas, but this is normal-
|
||||
ly framed in terms of relative levels (i.e., for some people, a high-conviction
|
||||
idea will make up 5 percent of their portfolio and a lower-conviction one
|
||||
2.5 percent; for others, a high-conviction idea will make up 20 percent of their
|
||||
portfolio and a lower-conviction one 5 percent). Rather than addressing what
|
||||
size of investment meal is best to eat, let’s think about the meal’s composition.
|
||||
Considering the underlying stock as the main course, I consider the
|
||||
leverage as sauces and side dishes. ITM options positions are the main
