Covered Call Long Stock, Short Call
Covered Call Long Stock, Short Call Profit = S + call - P BE = P - call
Protective Put Long Stock, Long Put
Protective Put Long Stock, Long Put Profit = P - put - S
Synthetic Long Put • Short Stock, Long Call
Synthetic Long Put • Short Stock, Long Call
Synthetic Short Call • Short Stock, Short Put
Synthetic Short Call • Short Stock, Short Put
Synthetic Stock • Short Put, Long Call
Synthetic Stock • Short Put, Long Call
Synthetic Stock • Short Put, Long Call
Bull Spread • Long Call @ s1 s1 < s2 • Short Call @ s2 • Max Profit = s2 - s1 - c1 + c2 • Break Even = s2 - MP = s1 - c2 + c1
Bull Spread Example Price = 32 Oct35C = 1 t=60days/365 Oct30C = 3 v = .24 Buy Oct30C = -3 Sell Oct35C = +1 Max Profit = 35-30-3+1 = 3 BE = 30-1+3 = 32 Net Debit = -3 + 1 = -2
Bull Spread • Profit / Loss Diagram Table
Bull Spread • Compute probability of bull spread • Example • Vt = .24 (60/365).5 = .097 • Prob (<32) = N[ln(32/32) /.097] = .5000 • Prob (>32) = 1 - .500 = .5000 • Max Profit = $300 • Max Loss = -$200 • at 50% odds, makes good sense
Aggressive Bull Spread • s1 < P << s2 • Good probability, good profit potential
Extremely Aggr. Bull Spread • P < s1 < s2 • Small Cost, high profit, low prob
Least Aggr. Bull Spread • S1 < s2 < P • Low profit, high prob
Put Bull Spread Long Put @ s1 s1 < s2 Short put @ s2 example (Credit Spread) Price = 55 Jan50P = 2 Jan60P = 7 Net Credit = p2 - p1 = + 7 - 2 = + 5 Break Even = S2 - credit = 60 - 5 = 55
Call Bear Spread Short Call @ s1 s1 < s2 Long Call @ s2 credit spread
Call Bear Spread Short Call @ s1 s1 < s2 Long Call @ s2 credit spread Example P = 55 Jan60C = 2 Jan50C = 7 Net Credit = 7 - 2 = 5 BE = 50 + 5 = 55
Call Bear Spread Short Call @ s1 s1 < s2 Long Call @ s2 credit spread Example P = 55 Jan60C = 2 Jan50C = 7 Net Credit = 7 - 2 = 5 BE = 50 + 5 = 55
Put Bear Spread Long Put @ s1 s1 > s2 Short Put @ s2 debit spread
Put Bear Spread Long Put @ s1 s1 > s2 Short Put @ s2 debit spread Example P = 55 Jan50P = 2 Jan60P = 7 Net Debit = 7 - 2 = 5 BE = 60 - 5 = 55
Put Bear Spread Long Put @ s1 s1 > s2 Short Put @ s2 debit spread Example P = 55 Jan50P = 2 Jan60P = 7 Net Debit = 7 - 2 = 5 BE = 60 - 5 = 55
Call Bear vs. Put Bear +Credit spread - assignment risk ? What causes assignment -Large Credit = P well above lower strike Example: p = 59, Jan60C=1, Jan50C=9
Bull Spread - Roll Down Long Stock, Long Call, Short 2 Calls Example Own stock @ $48 Price = 42 Oct40Call = 4 (buy) Oct45Call = 2 (sell 2) Net Credit = 0 BE = 44
Bull Spread - Roll Down Price P/LSt P/L Sh C P/L Lg C Net P/L 35 -1300 +400 -400 -1300 38 -1000 +400 -400 -1000 40 -800 +400 -400 -800 42 -600 +400 -200 -400 44 -400 +400 0 0 45 -300 +400 +100 +200 48 0 -200 +400 +200 50 +200 -600 +600 +200
Synthetic Covered CallBull spread If call is deep in the money and has no time to exp, a bull spread can be used to simulate a covered call. Example Price = 49 Sell Apr50C = 3 Buy Apr35C = 14
Butterfly Spread A neutral position that combines both a bear spread and a bull spread Long call @ s1 s1 < s2 < s3 Short 2 calls @ s2 Long call @ s3 Example Price = 60 buy July50C = 12 1200 debit short2 July60C = 6 1200 credit buy July70C = 3 300 debit 300 Net Debit
