I know that I would not be insuring my house at these rates and under
|
||||
those conditions! In light of these prices, the first thing you must consider
|
||||
is whether protecting a particular asset from unrealized price declines is
|
||||
worth the huge realized losses you must take to buy put premium. Buying
|
||||
ATM put protection on AAPL is setting up a 12.9 percent hurdle rate that
|
||||
the stock must surpass in one year just for you to start making a profit on
|
||||
the position, and 13 percent per year is quite a hurdle rate!
|
||||
If there is some reason why you believe that you need to pay for insurance,
|
||||
a better option—cheaper from a realized loss perspective—would be to sell
|
||||
the shares and use part of the proceeds to buy call options as an option-based
|
||||
replacement for the stock position. This approach has a few benefits:
|
||||
1. The risk-reward profile is exactly the same between the two
|
||||
structures.
|
||||
2. Any ATM or ITM call will be more lightly levered than any OTM
|
||||
put, meaning a lower realized loss on initiation.
|
||||
3. For dividend-paying stocks, call owners do not have the right to
|
||||
receive dividends, but the amount of the projected dividend is de-
|
||||
ducted from the premium (as part of the drift calculation shown
|
||||
in the section on covered calls). As such, although not being paid
|
||||
dividends over time, you are getting what amounts to a one-time
|
||||
upfront dividend payment.
|
||||
4. If you do not like the thought of leverage in your portfolio, you can
|
||||
self-margin the position (i.e., keep enough cash in reserve such that
|
||||
you are not “borrowing” any money through the call purchase).
|
||||
I do not hedge individual positions, but I do like the ITM call op-
|
||||
tion as an alternative for people who feel the need to do so. For hedg-
|
||||
ing of a general portfolio, rather than hedging of a particular holding in
|
||||
a portfolio, options on sector or index exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are
|
||||
more reasonably priced. Here are the ask prices for put options on the SPX
