will profit like a long position in 100 shares of the underlying. The
|

maximum profit is reached if UPS is at $70 at expiration. Kathleen makes a
|
||||
5.00 profit from $65 to $70 on her 65 calls. But because she paid 2.00
|
||||
initially for the spread, her net profit at $70 is just 3.00. If UPS is above $70
|
||||
a share at expiration in this example, the two 70 calls will be assigned. The
|
||||
assignment of one call will offset the long stock acquired by the 65 calls
|
||||
being exercised. Assignment of the other call will create a short position in
|
||||
the underlying. That short position loses as UPS moves higher up to $75 a
|
||||
share, eating away at the 3.00 profit. If UPS is above $75 at expiration, the
|
||||
75 call can be exercised to buy back the short stock position that resulted
|
||||
from the 70’s being assigned. The loss on the short stock between $70 and
|
||||
$75 will cost Kathleen 5.00, stripping her of her 3.00 profit and giving her a
|
||||
net loss of 2.00 to boot. End result? Above $75 at expiration, she has no
|
||||
position in the underlying and loses 2.00.

A butterfly is a break-even analysis trade . This name refers to the idea
|

that the most important considerations in this strategy are the breakeven
|

points. The at-expiration diagram, Exhibit 10.2 , shows the break-even
|
||||
prices for this trade.

If the position is held until expiration and UPS is between $65 and $70 at
|
||||
that time, the 65 calls are exercised, resulting in long stock. The effective
|

purchase price of that stock is $67. That’s the strike price plus the cost of
