very expensive options. If he buys them now and implied volatility returns to its
|
||||
median range near 50%, he will suffer from the decrease in implied volatility.
|

As a possible remedy, he considers selling an out-of-the-money put credit
|
||||
spread at the same time that he buys the calls. The credit from this spread will act as
|
||||
a means of reducing the net cost of the calls. If he's right and the stock goes up, all
|
||||
will be well. However, the introduction of the put spread into the mix has introduced
|
||||
some additional downside risk.
|
||||
Suppose the following prices exist:
|
||||
XYZ: 100
|
||||
July 100 call: 10 (as stated above)
|
||||
July 90 put: 5
|
||||
July 80 put: 2
|
||||
The entire bullish position would now consist of the following:
|
||||
Buy 1 July 100 call at 1 0
|
||||
Buy 1 July 80 put at 2
|
||||
Sell 1 July 90 put at 5
|
||||
Net expenditure: 7 point debit (plus commission)
|
||||
Figure 37-6 shows the profitability, at expiration, of both the outright call pur
|
||||
chase and the bullish position constructed above.
