The Gist
|
||||
An investor uses this strategy when he or she believes that there is a material
|
||||
chance that the value of a company is much higher than the present market price.
|
||||
The investor must pay a premium to initiate the position, and the proportion of
|
||||
the premium that represents time value should be recognized as a realized loss
|
||||
because it cannot be recovered. If the stock fails to move into the area of exposure
|
||||
before option expiration, there will be no profit to offset this realized loss.
|
||||
In economic terms, this transaction allows an investor to go long an
|
||||
undervalued company without accepting an uncertain risk of loss if the
|
||||
stock falls. Instead of the uncertain risk of loss, one must pay the fixed pre-
|
||||
mium. This strategy obeys the same rules of leverage as discussed earlier
|
||||
in this book, with in-the-money (ITM) call options offering less leverage
|
||||
but being much more forgiving regarding timing than are at-the-money
|
||||
(ATM) or especially out-of-the-money (OTM) options.
