478 Part IV: Additional Considerations
|
||||
The listed put' s price can be estimated by using the call pricing model and the
|
||||
arbitrage formula. Recall that the arbitrageur must include the cost of carrying the
|
||||
position as well as the dividends to be received.
|
||||
Theoretical Theoretical Strike Stock Carrying n· 'd d = + - - + IVI en s put call price price price cost
|
||||
The "theoretical call price" is obtained from the Black-Scholes model. The carrying
|
||||
cost is the cost of money (interest rate) times the striking price, multiplied by the
|
||||
time to expiration. Recall that this is the approximation formula for carrying cost (see
|
||||
Chapter 27 for comments on present value and compounding). Consequently, ifXYZ
|
||||
were at 41 and a 6-month January 40 call option were valued at 4 points by the
|
||||
Black-Scholes model, the theoretical put price could be estimated. Assume that the
|
||||
cost of money interest rate is 10% annually, and that the stock will pay $.50 in divi
|
||||
dends in 6 months (t = ½ year).
|
||||
Theoretical put price = 4 + 40 - 41- (.10 x 40 x ½) + .50
|
||||
=3-2+½
|
||||
=l½
|
||||
This means that if the call could be sold for 4 points, the arbitrageur would be will
|
||||
ing to pay up to 1 ½ points for the put to establish a conversion. The arbitrageur's
|
||||
price is used as the theoretical listed put price estimate.
|
||||
PUT BUYING
|
||||
Put option purchases can be ranked in a manner very similar to that described for call
|
||||
option buying. Reward opportunities occur when the stock falls in accordance with
|
||||
its volatility. An upward stock movement represents risk for the put buyer. All of the
|
||||
11 steps in the previous section on call buying are applicable to put buying. The pric
|
||||
ing of the put necessary for steps 4 and 8 is done in accordance with the arbitrage
|
||||
model just presented.
|
||||
If an underlying stock does not have listed puts trading, the synthetic put can
|
||||
be considered. While all U.S.-listed stocks have both puts and calls at every strike,
|
||||
there are still situations with warrants, especially in foreign countries, that are appli
|
||||
cable to the following discussion. Recall that synthetic puts are created for customers
|
||||
by some brokerage houses. The brokerage sells the stock short and buys a call. The
|
||||
customer can purchase the synthetic put for the amount of the risk involved, plus any
|
||||
dividends to be paid by the underlying stock. The synthetic put pricing formula that
|
||||
would be used in steps 4 and 8 of the option buying analysis is exactly the same as the
|
||||
arbitrage model for listed puts, except that the carrying costs are omitted:
