Study Notes
Understanding Financial Options
- Fincorp stock was priced at $28.72 per share with a call option at $1.52 per share and a put option at $0.24 per share for a strike price of $27.50 and expiration on May 7th.
- A call option gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying asset at a specified price before a set expiration date.
- The value of a call option at expiration is the difference between the stock price and the exercise price, with the call holder's profit being the payoff minus the premium.
- The writer of a call option loses the value that the call holder earns at expiration, with the profit being the payoff plus the premium.
- Market and exercise price relationships determine whether an option is "in the money," "out of the money," or "at the money."
- American options can be exercised at any time before expiration, while European options can only be exercised on the expiration date.
- Payoff and profit diagrams illustrate the potential gains and losses for call and put options at expiration, with the cost of purchasing the option being the vertical difference between the two lines.
- A "naked option" is a strategy where the option writer does not hold an offsetting position in the underlying asset.
- A put option gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying asset at a specified price before a set expiration date.
- The payoff and profit diagram for a put option at expiration is the reverse image of the call option's diagram.
- A portfolio comparison shows the payoffs for different investment strategies involving stock, options, and T-bills, considering a stock price of $100/share.
- In strategy B, if the stock price remains at $100, the payoff is $0 because the options expire worthless, and the investor loses the premium paid for the options.
