The LEAPS writer has a much higher net return if exercised, again because he
|
||||
wrote a more expensive option to begin with. However, in order to fairly compare the
|
||||
two writes, one must annualize the returns. That is, the July 50 covered write made
|
||||
6.9% in six months, so it could make twice that in one year, if it can be duplicated six
|
||||
months from now. In a similar manner, the LEAPS covered writer can make 21.5%
|
||||
in two years if the stock is called away. However, on an annualized basis, he would
|
||||
make only half that amount.

|

Thus, on an annualized basis, the short-term write seems better. The shorter-term
|
||||
call will generally have a higher rate of return, annualized, than the LEAPS call. The
|
||||
problems with annualizing are discussed in the following text.
|
||||
Finally, the downside break-even point can be computed for each write.
