774 Part VI: Measuring and Trading Volatility
|
||||
First, one can see that the bullish spread position has a total risk of 17 points, if
|
||||
X'YZ is below 80 (the lower striking price of the put spread) at expiration. That, of
|
||||
course, is more than the 10-point cost of the July 100 call by itself, but if one is using
|
||||
a trading stop of any sort, he probably would not be at risk for the entire 17 points,
|
||||
since he wouldn't hold on while the stock fell all the way to 80 and below. Note also
|
||||
that the bullish spread position would have a loss of 10 points (the same as the call)
|
||||
at a price of 87 for the common at expiration. Hence, the combined position actual
|
||||
ly has less risk than the outright call purchase as long as XYZ is 87 or higher at expi
|
||||
ration. Since one is supposedly bullish initially when establishing this strategy, it
|
||||
seems likely that he would figure the stock would be 87 or higher at expiration. ·
|
||||
Figure 37-7 offers another comparison, that of the two positions after 30 days
|
||||
have passed. Note that the spread position once again does better on the upside and
|
||||
worse on the downside. The crossover point between the two curves is at about a
|
||||
price of95. That is, ifXYZ is above 95 in 30 days, the bullish spread position will out
|
||||
perform the call buy.
|
||||
One final point should be made regarding the investment required. The out
|
||||
right call purchase requires an investment of $1,000 - the cost of the long call. The
|
||||
bullish spread position requires that $1,000, plus $700 for the spread (IO-point dif
|
||||
ference in the strikes, less the 3-point credit received for selling the spread). That's a
|
||||
total of $1,700, the risk of the bullish spread position. Hence, the rate of return might
|
||||
favor the outright call purchase, depending on how far the stock rallies.
