Options: Introduction

Derivatives are securities that get their value from the price of other securities. Derivatives are contingent claims because their payoffs depend on the value of other securities. Options are traded both on organized exchanges and OTC. Options

The Option Contract: Calls A call option gives its holder the right to buy an asset: –At the exercise or strike price –On or before the expiration date Exercise the option to buy the underlying asset if market value > strike.

The Option Contract: Puts A put option gives its holder the right to sell an asset: –At the exercise or strike price –On or before the expiration date Exercise the option to sell the underlying asset if market value < strike.

The Option Contract The purchase price of the option is called the premium. Sellers (writers) of options receive premium income. If holder exercises the option, the option writer must make (call) or take (put) delivery of the underlying asset.

Example: Profit and Loss on a Call A January 2010 call on IBM with an exercise price of $130 was selling on December 2, 2009, for $2.18. The option expires on the third Friday of the month, or January 15, If IBM remains below $130, the call will expire worthless.

Example: Profit and Loss on a Call Suppose IBM sells for $132 on the expiration date. Option value = stock price-exercise price $132- $130= $2 Profit = Final value – Original investment $ $2.18 = -$0.18 Option will be exercised to offset loss of premium. Call will not be strictly profitable unless IBM’s price exceeds $ (strike + premium) by expiration.

Example: Profit and Loss on a Put Consider a January 2010 put on IBM with an exercise price of $130, selling on December 2, 2009, for $4.79. Option holder can sell a share of IBM for $130 at any time until January 15. If IBM goes above $130, the put is worthless.

Example: Profit and Loss on a Put Suppose IBM’s price at expiration is $123. Value at expiration = exercise price – stock price: $130 - $123 = $7 Investor’s profit: $ $4.79 = $2.21 Holding period return = 46.1% over 44 days!

In the Money - exercise of the option would be profitable Call: exercise price < market price Put: exercise price > market price Out of the Money - exercise of the option would not be profitable Call: market price < exercise price. Put: market price > exercise price. At the Money - exercise price and asset price are equal Market and Exercise Price Relationships

American - the option can be exercised at any time before expiration or maturity European - the option can only be exercised on the expiration or maturity date In the U.S., most options are American style, except for currency and stock index options. American vs. European Options

Payoff and Profit to Put Option at Expiration

Option versus Stock Investments Could a call option strategy be preferable to a direct stock purchase? Suppose you think a stock, currently selling for $100, will appreciate. A 6-month call costs $10 (contract size is 100 shares). You have $10,000 to invest.

Option versus Stock Investments Strategy A: Invest entirely in stock. Buy 100 shares, each selling for $100. Strategy B: Invest entirely in at-the-money call options. Buy 1,000 calls, each selling for $10. (This would require 10 contracts, each for 100 shares.) Strategy C: Purchase 100 call options for $1,000. Invest your remaining $9,000 in 6- month T-bills, to earn 3% interest. The bills will be worth $9,270 at expiration.

Strategy Payoffs

Rate of Return to Three Strategies

Strategy Conclusions The figure shows that the all-option portfolio, B, responds more than proportionately to changes in stock value; it is levered. Portfolio C, T-bills plus calls, shows the insurance value of options. –C ‘s T-bill position cannot be worth less than $9270. –Some return potential is sacrificed to limit downside risk.

Buy stocks and at the money puts: Protective Put  All examples that include both stocks and options assume usage of at the money options.

Protective Put Conclusions Puts can be used as insurance against stock price declines. Protective puts lock in a minimum portfolio value. The cost of the insurance is the put premium. Options can be used for risk management, not just for speculation.

Covered Calls Purchase stock and write calls against it. Call writer gives up any stock value above X in return for the initial premium. If you planned to sell the stock when the price rises above X anyway, the call imposes “sell discipline.”

Straddle Long straddle: Buy call and put with same exercise price and maturity. The straddle is a bet on volatility. –To make a profit, the change in stock price must exceed the cost of both options. –You need a strong change in stock price in either direction. The writer of a straddle is betting the stock price will not change much.

Value of a Straddle at Expiration

Strips and Straps Strap: buy two calls and one put, more bullish than straddle. Strip: buy two puts and one call, more bearish than straddle.

Spreads A spread is a combination of two or more calls (or two or more puts) on the same stock with differing exercise prices or times to maturity. Some options are bought, whereas others are sold, or written. A bullish spread is a way to profit from stock price increases.

Bullish Spread  Write (sell) the high exercise price call and buy the low exercise price call. All other option terms identical. L=low exercise price, H=high exercise price

Value of a Bullish Spread Position at Expiration

Collars A collar is an options strategy that brackets the value of a portfolio between two bounds. Limit downside risk by sacrificing upside potential. Buy a protective put to limit downside risk of a position. Fund put purchase by writing a covered call. –Net outlay for options is approximately zero.

Warnings about options positions Options can move 10-15% or more in a very short time period. Options are by definition short term instruments; an investor can ride out bad times in spot markets but not in options. –The limited loss feature makes options appear safer than they are. –You have to compare equal $ investments in stocks and options to really see the higher risk of the option position.

Warnings about options positions What’s wrong with selling options? Covered calls (writing calls against stock you own) –The investor never gets the occasional large stock price run up and suffers most of the loss of a big price drop. Eliminates any positive skewness of stock returns Naked calls (writing calls when you do not own the stock) –Maximum gain is limited to call premium but unlimited loss, poor strategy in volatile markets

The call-plus-bond portfolio (on left) must cost the same as the stock-plus-put portfolio (on right): Put-Call Parity

Stock Price = 110 Call Price = 17 Put Price = 5 Risk Free = 5% Maturity = 1 yr X = > 115 Since the leveraged equity is less expensive, acquire the low cost alternative and sell the high cost alternative Put Call Parity - Disequilibrium Example
