Stock Price at Expiration

price, plus the premium, minus the amount by which the option is out-of-the-money,
|
||||
the actual dollar requirement in this example would be $700 (20% of $5,000, plus the
|
||||
$200 premium, minus the $500 by which the January 45 put is out-of-the-money). As
|
||||
with all types of naked writing positions, the strategist should allow enough collater
|
||||
al for an adverse stock move to occur. This will allow enough room for stock move
|
||||
ment without forcing early liquidation of the position due to a margin call. If, in this
|
||||
example, the strategist felt that he might stay with the position until the stock
|
||||
declined to 39, he should allow $1,380 in collateral (20% of $3,900 plus the $600 in
|
||||
the-money amount).
|
||||
The ratio put spread is generally most attractive when the underlying stock is
|
||||
initially between the two striking prices. That is, if XYZ were somewhere between 45
|
||||
and 50, one might find the ratio put spread used in the example attractive. If the
|
||||
stock is initially below the lower striking price, a ratio put spread is not as attractive,
|
||||
since the stock is already too close to the downside risk point. Alternatively, if the
|
||||
stock is too far above the striking price of the written calls, one would normally have
|
||||
to pay a large debit to establish the position. Although one could eliminate the debit
|
||||
by writing four or five short options to each put bought, large ratios have extraordi
|
||||
narily large downside risk and are therefore very aggressive.
|
||||
Follow-up action is rather simple in the ratio put spread. There is very little that
|
||||
one need do, except for closing the position if the stock breaks below the downside
|
||||
break-even point. Since put options tend to lose time value premium rather quickly
|
||||
after they become in-the-money options, there is not normally an opportunity to roll
