Why so much interest in options? “…investors can buy a lot of price action with a limited amount of capital, while nearly always enjoying limited exposure to risk.”
10
Why Options? A basic question asked by investors is: “Why buy stock options instead of shares in the underlying stock?” To answer this question, we compare the possible outcomes from these two investment strategies: –Buy the underlying stock –Buy options on the underlying stock
11
Example: Buying the Underlying Stock versus Buying a Call Option Suppose IBM is selling for $90 per share and call options with a strike price of $90 are $5 per share. Investment for 100 shares: –IBM Shares: $9,000 –One listed call option contract: $500 Suppose further that the option expires in three months. Finally, let’s say that in three months, the price of IBM shares will either be: $100, $80, or $90.
12
Example: Buying the Underlying Stock versus Buying a Call Option, Cont. Let’s calculate the dollar and percentage return given each of the prices for IBM stock: Buy 100 IBM Shares ($9000 Investment): Buy One Call Option ($500 Investment): Dollar Profit: Percentage Return: Dollar Profit: Percentage Return: Case 1: $100$1,00011.11%$500100% Case 2: $80-$1,000-11.11%-$500-100% Case 3: $90$00%-$500-100%
13
Why Options? Conclusion Whether one strategy is preferred over another is a matter for each individual investor to decide. –That is, in some instances investing in the underlying stock will be better. In other instances, investing in the option will be better. –Each investor must weight the risk and return trade-off offered by the strategies. It is important to see that call options offer an alternative means of formulating investment strategies. –For 100 shares, the dollar loss potential with call options is lower. –For 100 shares, the dollar gain potential with call options is lower. –The positive percentage return with call options is higher. –The negative percentage return with call options is lower.
15
Characteristics of Options “Derivative” Securities - obtain their value from the underlying issue Contract to buy or sell other securities
16
Characteristics of Options No ownership interest in the underlying company (dividends; voting rights, etc.) Provide leverage through a fixed purchase price - exaggerates any gain or loss
17
Option Exchanges Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Established in 1973 cboe.org - professional traders cboe.com - private investors
18
Option Exchange Features Central marketplace vs. O-T-C Secondary market Option Clearing Corporation (OCC)
19
The Options Clearing Corporation The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) is a private agency that guarantees that the terms of an option contract will be fulfilled if the option is exercised. The OCC issues and clears all option contracts trading on U.S. exchanges. Note that the exchanges and the OCC are all subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Visit the OCC at: www.optionsclearing.com. www.optionsclearing.com

26
Option Jargon “Striking Price” - price at which the contract is exercised or carried out Example: –XYZ-AUG-30; “30” is the striking price, or exercise price of the option
27
Option Jargon “Expiration Date” - maturity date; the third Friday of the expiration month Example: –XYZ-AUG-30; option expires on the third Friday of August
28
Option Jargon “Option Writer (Maker)” - seller of an option contract
29
Option Jargon “Covered Writer” - already owns shares of the underlying stock; can deliver shares if exercised
30
Option Jargon “Naked Writer” - does not own shares of the underlying stock; must buy shares if exercised
31
Option Jargon [Call Options] “In the Money” - stock price greater than exercise price
32
Option Jargon [Call Options] “Out of the Money” - stock price less than exercise price
33
Option Jargon [Call Options] “At the Money” - stock price = exercise price
34
Option Pricing [Three Prices to Consider] 1.Underlying stock price per share 2.Exercise (striking) price of the option contract 3.Price (Premium) of the option contract
35
Call Option Pricing Option premium reflects: Intrinsic value of the option, plus the option’s time value Premium = IV + TV Time Value = Premium - IV
36
Call Option Pricing [ABC-MAY-80] Intrinsic value (IV): IV = Stock price - exercise price IV = $81.75 - $80.00 = $1.75
37
Call Option Pricing [ABC-MAY-80] Time value (TV): TV = premium - intrinsic value TV = $3.75 - $1.75 = $2.00
39

Put Option Pricing [ABC-JUL-80] Intrinsic value (IV): IV = Exercise price - stock price IV = $80.00 - $79.00 = $1.00
42
Put Option Pricing [ABC-JUL-80] Time value (TV): TV = premium - intrinsic value TV = $3.00 – 1.00 = $2.00

Option Trading Strategies Buying options for speculation Hedging with puts and calls Option writing and spreading
51
Buying Options for Speculation Same motivation as buying stock “Buy low, sell high” Smaller investment - greater leverage Limited loss
52
Hedging with Puts and Calls Combination of two or more securitiesCombination of two or more securities :Objectives: –To earn or protect a profit –Limit losses
53
Hedging with Puts and Calls Examples:Examples: –buy stock; sell a put –sell short; buy a call Lockheed Martin transactions

Option Writing and Spreading
56
Call Option Spread Strategies Spread: buying and selling different options at the same time
57
Call Option Spread Strategies Money, or vertical spreads Time, or calendar spreads “Butterfly” spreads
58
Call Option Spread Strategies “Money” or “vertical” spread: same month, different exercise prices
59
Call Option Spread Strategies Example: –buy Compq-May-40 –sell Compq-May-45 –objective: price between $40 - $45
60
Call Option Spread Strategies “Time” or “calendar” spread: different expiration dates
61
Call Option Spread Strategies Example: –buy Compq-Jun-40 –sell Compq-May-40 –objective: timed appreciation
62
Call Option Spread Strategies “Butterfly” spread: buy and sell different options at same time“Butterfly” spread: buy and sell different options at same time Example:Example: –buy 1 XYZ-Jul-80 ($7.375) –sell 2 XYZ-Jul-90 ($6.500) –buy 1 XYZ-Jul-100 ($1.250)
63
Index Options Put or call written on a market index –S & P 500 –S & P 100 –DJIA
64
Index Options Settled in cash 100 times index value Example (S & P 500): –1,418 (Value) – 1,400 (Strike) = 18 –18 x 100 = $1,800
65
Stock Index Options Because the actual delivery of all stocks comprising a stock index is impractical, stock index options have a cash settlement procedure. –if the option expires in the money, the option writer simply pays the option holder the intrinsic value of the option.
