  1. Chapter 6: Basic Option Strategies With derivative products and options you can pick any point of the payoff distribution and sell off all the others. Stan Jonas Derivatives Strategy, November, 1995, p. 66 An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  2. Important Concepts • Profit equations and graphs for buying and selling stock, buying and selling calls, buying and selling puts, covered calls, protective puts and conversions/reversals • The effect of choosing different exercise prices • The effect of closing out an option position early versus holding to expiration An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  3. Terminology and Notation • Note the following standard symbols • C = current call price, P = current put price • S0 = current stock price, ST = stock price at expiration • T = time to expiration • X = exercise price • P = profit from strategy • The number of calls, puts and stock is given as • NC = number of calls • NP = number of puts • NS = number of shares of stock An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  4. Terminology and Notation (continued) • These symbols imply the following: • NC,NP, or NS > 0 implies buying (long position) • NC, NP, or NS < 0 implies selling (short position) • The Profit Equations • Profit equation for calls held to expiration • P = NC[Max(0,ST - X) - C] • For buyer of one call (NC = 1) this implies P = Max(0,ST - X) - C • For seller of one call (NC = -1) this implies P = -Max(0,ST - X) + C An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  5. Terminology and Notation (continued) • The Profit Equations (continued) • Profit equation for puts held to expiration • P = NP[Max(0,X - ST) - P] • For buyer of one put (NP = 1) this implies P = Max(0,X - ST) - P • For seller of one put (NP = -1) this implies P = -Max(0,X - ST) + P An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  6. Terminology and Notation (continued) • The Profit Equations (continued) • Profit equation for stock • P = NS[ST - S0] • For buyer of one share (NS = 1) this implies P = ST - S0 • For short seller of one share (NS = -1) this implies P = - (ST - S0) An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  7. Terminology and Notation (continued) • Different Holding Periods • Three holding periods: T1 < T2 < T • For a given stock price at the end of the holding period, compute the theoretical value of the option using the Black-Scholes-Merton or other appropriate model. • Remaining time to expiration will be either T - T1, T - T2 or T - T = 0 (we have already covered the latter) • For a position closed out at T1, the profit will be • where the closeout option price is taken from the Black-Scholes-Merton model for a given stock price at T1. An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  8. Terminology and Notation (continued) • Different Holding Periods (continued) • Similar calculation done for T2 • For T, the profit is determined by the intrinsic value, as already covered • Assumptions • No dividends • No taxes or transaction costs • We continue with the DCRB options. See Table 6.1, p. 197. An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  9. Stock Transactions • Buy Stock • Profit equation: P = NS[ST - S0] given that NS > 0 • See Figure 6.1, p. 186 for DCRB, S0 = $125.94, NS = 100 • Maximum profit = , minimum = -S0 • Sell Short Stock • Profit equation: P = NS[ST - S0] given that NS < 0 • See Figure 6.2, p. 186 for DCRB, S0 = $125.94, NS = -100 • Maximum profit = S0, minimum = -  An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  34. Synthetic Puts and Calls • Rearranging put-call parity to isolate put price • This implies put = long call, short stock, long risk-free bond with face value X. • This is a synthetic put. • In practice most synthetic puts are constructed without risk-free bond, i.e., long call, short stock. An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.

  35. Synthetic Puts and Calls (continued) • Profit equation: P = NC[Max(0,ST - X) - C] + NS(ST - S0) given that NC > 0, NS < 0, NS = NP.

Like risk-free borrowing. • Similar strategy for conversion, used when actual call overpriced. An Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 7th ed.
