THE BEARISH SCENARIO

~ Spread at Expiration

Call Buy Only, at Expiration

|

In a similar manner, one can construct a position to take advantage of a bearish opin
|
||||
ion on a stock. Again, this would be most useful when the options were overpriced
|
||||
and one felt that an at-the-money put was too expensive to purchase by itself.
|
||||
Example: XYZ is trading at 80, and one has a definite bearish opinion on the stock.
|
||||
However, the December 80 put, which is selling for 8, is expensive according to an
|
||||
option analysis. Therefore, one might consider selling a call credit spread (out-of-the
|
||||
money) to help reduce the cost of the put. The entire position would thus be:
|
||||
Buy 1 December 80 put:
|
||||
Sell l December 90 call:
|
||||
Buy 1 December 100 call:
|
||||
Total cost:
|
||||
8 debit
|
||||
4 credit
|
||||
2 debit
|
||||
6 debit ($600)
|
||||
The profitability of this position is shown in Figure 23-2. The straight line on that
|
||||
graph shows how the position would behave at expiration. The introduction of the
|
||||
call credit spread has increased the risk to $1,600 if the stock should rally to 100 or
|
||||
higher by expiration. Note that the risk is limited since both the put purchase and the
|
||||
call credit spread are limited-risk strategies. The margin required would be this max
|
||||
imum risk, or $1,600.
