- 0:27welcome to the next lecture we'll
- 0:30continue with uh the idea of hedging and
- 0:33uncertainty in financial
- 0:35markets in the last lecture we this is
- 0:39where we ended we looked at the payoff
- 0:42from a long call option that is if I buy
- 0:46a call
- 0:47option which has a strike price of
- 0:50e then at the expiration date this is my
- 0:54payoff where pce is the price of the
- 0:57call
- 0:58option great
- 1:01what if I go short on a call option that
- 1:03is what if I sell a call option to
- 1:06somebody else let's say to
- 1:08you then what is my
- 1:11payoff and let's say the strike price of
- 1:14the call option is
- 1:16e h so there are two
- 1:21possibilities
- 1:23either the price of the call option uh
- 1:26sorry the price of the underlying asset
- 1:28at expiration date which is S capital
- 1:31this becomes more than the call option
- 1:33the more than the strike
- 1:35price that is e+ 10 then what will
- 1:39happen well I have sold you the call
- 1:41option so what will you do now you have
- 1:44the right to buy this asset at rupees E
- 1:49from me on the expiration
- 1:52date okay and I am
- 1:54obligated to sell
- 1:57you one unit of this asset at rupees e
- 2:02on the expiration date but the price of
- 2:04the asset at the expiration date is e+
- 2:0610 let's say then what what will happen
- 2:09I will have to buy the asset from the
- 2:11market at e+ 10 and then give it to you
- 2:15and you will give me the strike price e
- 2:18so I will have a loss what is my loss
- 2:22what is my loss here it is
- 2:2410 so as the price of the asset goes
- 2:28up above the strike price e i the seller
- 2:33of the call
- 2:34option will start incurring
- 2:37losses higher the price of the asset
- 2:41higher my losses okay as you can see
- 2:44from this graph it is exactly opposite
- 2:48when I buy a call option when I buy a
- 2:50call option I really want the price of
- 2:52the asset to go up when I sell a call
- 2:54option my payoff decreases as the price
- 2:57of the
- 2:58asset goes up price of price of the
- 3:01underlying asset goes up of
- 3:04course when I sell a call option I also
- 3:07get some money because I'm selling it
- 3:10for some
- 3:12amount so the entire payoff moves up by
- 3:16this
- 3:18much so if the price is below E then
- 3:20what will happen so if St is below E so
- 3:24if St is less than e then what will
- 3:28happen well then you have the right to
- 3:30buy this underlying asset at Price e but
- 3:34the price of the underlying asset in the
- 3:36market is less than
- 3:38e so this right of buying at Price e is
- 3:42a useless right and you won't exercise
- 3:45this right I on the other hand I'm happy
- 3:49why because I will make this profit this
- 3:52much profit which is equal to the price
- 3:54of the call option you will not exercise
- 3:56the option so this is my profit once
- 3:59once the price starts going above E I
- 4:02start uh my profit starts getting eaten
- 4:05up and eventually I run into
- 4:08losses okay so this is the
- 4:11payoff uh if I if I'm seller of a call
- 4:17option
- 4:19okay now we'll start talking about
- 4:21something
- 4:23else consider
- 4:26uh again consider the TCS stock option
- 4:29and let's say it is it is trading at uh
- 4:31price
- 4:333416 and let's say tomorrow the election
- 4:36results will be declared and I feel uh
- 4:39that the TCS price will uh go up to 35
- 4:44so now I own a unit of TCS one one stock
- 4:48of
- 4:50TCS and after the election results I'm
- 4:52really hoping that the price of TCS will
- 4:55go up to
- 4:5835 so will I sell my TCS stock now at
- 5:033416 answer is no why should I I'm
- 5:06owning it I have it in my
- 5:08wallet I'm tempted to wait after the
- 5:11election results are
- 5:13declared I'm tempted to wait till the
- 5:15election results are declared and sell
- 5:16it after that so that I can sell it at
- 5:2135 but then I'm also
- 5:24fearful what is my fear I'm fearing that
- 5:28maybe there will be a hung assembly or
- 5:29something like that and the price will
- 5:31go down to
- 5:3333000
- 5:35okay so on one hand I'm tempted to wait
- 5:38on the other hand I'm fearful that uh
- 5:41the price will go down to 33000 which is
- 5:44lower than the current
- 5:47value okay so should I should I sell it
- 5:51now should I wait I'm caught in this
- 5:53dilemma so what do I want now what if
- 5:57somebody gives me an insurance or right
- 5:59which will allow
- 6:01me to sell this one unit of TCS at 3416
- 6:06which is the current
- 6:07price
- 6:09tomorrow so now my downside has been
- 6:12protected right I can't lose I I can
- 6:16today I can sell it for 3416 I'm fearful
- 6:19that I won't be able to sell it for 3416
- 6:21tomorrow if the price goes down but if
- 6:24somebody assures me that hey don't worry
- 6:27tomorrow as well you can sell it for 3
- 6:2941 6 no matter what then my fear is
- 6:33gone if the price goes to 35 fantastic I
- 6:37will sell it for
- 6:3935 if it goes down to 330 even then I
- 6:43can sell it for 3416 because I have this
- 6:47insurance okay now this insurance or
- 6:51right which allows me to sell one unit
- 6:54of TCS at
- 6:563416 on 1st of September or tomorrow
- 7:00this is called the put
- 7:03option
- 7:05okay so what was call option call option
- 7:09was a right to buy it was the right to
- 7:12buy an
- 7:14asset at a particular price called the
- 7:16strike price on the expiration date a
- 7:19put option on the other hand is a right
- 7:22to sell an
- 7:24asset at a particular price on the
- 7:26expiration
- 7:28date okay
- 7:30and just like in the previous scenario
- 7:32somebody who buys the option is said to
- 7:36go long on a put option somebody who
- 7:38sells the option is say is said to go
- 7:40short on a put
- 7:42option
- 7:45great so this is the formal definition a
- 7:47put option is uh denoted by
- 7:52P E is the strike price that is the
- 7:55amount the price at which I am ensured
- 7:59that I can
- 8:01sell at the expiration date denoted by
- 8:03capital T and S is the underlying
- 8:07asset okay
- 8:12fantastic now what's the
- 8:14payoff let's say I have bought a put
- 8:17option then what is my payoff how will
- 8:20my payoff look like of course I'm
- 8:22ignoring the price of the put option for
- 8:24for the time
- 8:25being so I have the right to sell one
- 8:29one unit of TCS or one unit of an asset
- 8:32at e
- 8:34Rupees at the expiration date okay fine
- 8:40now let's say the price of the asset St
- 8:44is less than e let's say it is e minus
- 8:505 okay
- 8:53then well I have the right to sell it at
- 8:56e
- 8:57rupees okay so let's let's say you have
- 9:01uh I have bought a put option from
- 9:04you so I have the right to sell one unit
- 9:07of the underlying asset to you at e
- 9:10rupees on the expiration date but let's
- 9:12say the price of the asset in the market
- 9:14is eus
- 9:155 so what is my payoff then well I will
- 9:19buy the asset from the market at e minus
- 9:225 then I will go to you and say hey see
- 9:26I have this put option I have the right
- 9:28to sell it to you at e rupees and I will
- 9:30sell it to you at e rupees you're
- 9:32obligated to buy from
- 9:33me okay and I will make a payoff of
- 9:37five if the price is eus 10 then I will
- 9:41buy from the market at eus 10 and sell
- 9:43it to you at e rupees again and my
- 9:45profit will be 10 so lower the price in
- 9:49the market higher my payoff if I am a
- 9:51owner of a put option if I bought a put
- 9:55option fantastic so lowered the price
- 9:58lowered the price higher The
- 10:02Profit
- 10:04okay great what if the
- 10:08uh payoff or sorry the price at price of
- 10:11the underlying asset at the expiration
- 10:13date what if it goes above e then what's
- 10:16going to
- 10:18happen well so let's say it becomes e+
- 10:2410 so now I have the right to sell one
- 10:27unit of this pen to to you at e+ at e
- 10:32rupes but in the market it can be sold
- 10:35at e+
- 10:3710 so this right to sell to you at e
- 10:40Rupees is a useless right I might as
- 10:43well go to the market and sell this pen
- 10:44at e+ 10
- 10:46Rupees so which means I will not
- 10:49exercise the put
- 10:50option and my payoff from the put option
- 10:53will be zero if the price is above e so
- 10:57this is how the payoff looks like so in
- 10:59this Zone the payoff is
- 11:04zero of course uh so this is
- 11:08when I'm assuming that the put option
- 11:10was free I'm not taking into account the
- 11:13price of the put option but if you take
- 11:15into account the price of the put option
- 11:17then long put means I'm buying the put
- 11:20so the entire
- 11:21payoff uh comes
- 11:23down by an amount PPE which is the price
- 11:27of the put option
- 11:34okay what about the payoff of the seller
- 11:36of a put
- 11:38option what happens
- 11:41then well uh let's say I sell you a put
- 11:45option it's exactly the opposite if I
- 11:49sell you the put option uh you have the
- 11:51right to sell the underlying asset to me
- 11:53at
- 11:54e if the price of the asset is above e
- 11:57then what will happen
- 12:00if the price of the asset at the
- 12:01expiration date is above e then what
- 12:03will happen well you won't exercise the
- 12:05put option the payoff is
- 12:08zero
- 12:09okay so nobody nobody there is no
- 12:12transaction
- 12:13happening if the price of uh the
- 12:16underlying asset at the expiration date
- 12:18is less than e let's say it is e eus
- 12:225 then what will happen then I will have
- 12:26to uh I have I have sold you the put
- 12:30right so you have the right to sell it
- 12:32to me at e
- 12:34rupees so I will have to buy it from you
- 12:37at e rupes and sell it in the Market at
- 12:40e minus 5 which means I will have a loss
- 12:43of 5
- 12:44rupes okay so lower the price greater my
- 12:49loss so you can see lower the
- 12:51price so this is the loss lower the
- 12:54price goes greater my
- 12:57loss okay
- 12:59so that's the payoff of a short put if I
- 13:02sell a put that's my
- 13:05payoff of course if I sell a put then I
- 13:09also get some money UPF front which is
- 13:11the price of the put so the entire
- 13:14payoff gets scaled up by an amount
- 13:17PPE which is the price of the
- 13:21put great so we have looked at call
- 13:24options and we have looked at put
- 13:26options we have looked at the payoff of
- 13:28some somebody who goes on goes long on a
- 13:30call or long on a put or short on a call
- 13:33or short on a
- 13:36put now we'll talk about another
- 13:38instrument in the financial Market which
- 13:40is called shorting an
- 13:42asset you can take a look at this video
- 13:45and then we'll come
- 13:52back so what did you see in the
- 13:55video in the video uh
- 13:59what uh herid is saying is the
- 14:02following what is shorting a
- 14:05stock well I don't own a stock so
- 14:08shorting a stock basically means selling
- 14:10a stock or selling an asset without
- 14:14owning
- 14:15it how can that happen in the following
- 14:21way
- 14:22if I so what I'm going to do is the
- 14:24following I will just call the
- 14:27broker and say
- 14:30that sell one unit of TCS
- 14:35stock what will the broker do the broker
- 14:38will take up a unit of TCS stock and
- 14:42sell it in the market and get some money
- 14:46and he'll give that money to
- 14:47me okay I get some money 100 rupees
- 14:50let's
- 14:52say now the broker will tell me that
- 14:55remember you owe me one unit of TCS
- 14:58stock I will say yes yes yes I
- 15:00remember so I have taken this 100 rupees
- 15:03I've kept it in my wallet and I'm
- 15:05waiting now if the price of TCS if it
- 15:09goes down to 10 rupees or let's say to
- 15:1390 rupees by 10 Rupees let's say so if
- 15:16the price of TCS stock goes down to 90
- 15:18rupees then what will I do I have 100
- 15:22rupees in my wallet which I got from the
- 15:23broker I will use 90
- 15:26Rupees to buy one unit of the T TCS
- 15:29stock and give it back to the broker
- 15:32because remember I owe one unit of TCS
- 15:34stock I will have to give it to the
- 15:36broker he sold it on my
- 15:38behalf so I will use the 90 rupes of the
- 15:41100 rupees which I have in my wallet to
- 15:43buy one unit of the TCS stock and give
- 15:46it back to the broker so now I I'm I'm
- 15:49clear I don't owe anything to
- 15:52anybody but in this entire Transaction
- 15:54what am I left with I am left with a
- 15:57profit of 10 Rupees
- 16:01right I had 100 rupees the broker sold
- 16:04one unit of TCS stock gave me 100
- 16:07rupees the TCS stock came down to 90
- 16:10rupe I bought the TCS stock at 90 rupes
- 16:13gave it back to the broker the broker's
- 16:15account is settled in the meanwhile I
- 16:18just made 90 rupees in between uh 10
- 16:21Rupees in between 100us
- 16:2390 okay so this is called shorting a
- 16:27stock so lower the the price of the
- 16:29stock
- 16:30becomes higher my
- 16:33profit okay so I got 100 rupees from the
- 16:36broker by shorting One stock of
- 16:39TCS but I had to Reby a stock of TCS
- 16:42later on to give it back to the
- 16:44broker if the lower the price of TCS
- 16:47later on higher my
- 16:50profit right so it's a downward sloping
- 16:54payoff
- 16:57curve and remember we are talking about
- 17:00like in call option and put option we
- 17:02had expiration date in case of shorting
- 17:05we have something called a settlement
- 17:07date okay so if the price of TCS is
- 17:11lower than 100 rupees on the settlement
- 17:13date then or on or before the settlement
- 17:17date then I'm going to make profit if it
- 17:19is higher then I will run into losses
- 17:22because anyway I'll have to buy a stock
- 17:24of TCS and give it back to the broker if
- 17:27it is at 110 I will have to to buy it at
- 17:29110 and give it back to the broker and
- 17:31then I will have a loss of 10
- 17:34Rupees
- 17:36great now let's try to be a little more
- 17:39sophisticated let's use we have looked
- 17:42at call Port shorting a stock now let's
- 17:45try to uh mix them up and create more
- 17:48complicated instruments let's start with
- 17:50a very easy one shorting with a
- 17:54call okay
- 17:57great so let's say current currently the
- 17:59price of an asset is s
- 18:01rupees so I
- 18:05uh shot a stock and get S rupes it's a
- 18:10downward curve as you can see this
- 18:14one but it can go go really down
- 18:18right so what I'm doing is as the uh I'm
- 18:23buying a call option so as the price of
- 18:26the stock goes up on the settlement date
- 18:29my payoff will become lower and
- 18:32lower and finally my losses will become
- 18:34huge so in order to mitigate that what
- 18:38am I
- 18:38doing I'm buying a call
- 18:42option which allows me
- 18:45to buy one unit of this underlying asset
- 18:49at e rupees and let's say the settlement
- 18:52date and the expiration date are
- 18:56coinciding okay okay so so what's what's
- 18:59happening
- 19:01here so as I have shorted the stock the
- 19:04payoff keeps coming down as the price
- 19:06goes
- 19:07up ideally the payoff should have come
- 19:10down further as the price gone up but
- 19:14since I have the call option what will I
- 19:17do if the price goes above
- 19:21e it doesn't matter I have the right to
- 19:25buy this asset at rupees e since I own
- 19:28the call
- 19:30option okay remember I'll have to pay
- 19:33the broker back one unit of the
- 19:34underlying asset and now I have the call
- 19:38option which allows me to buy the
- 19:40underlying asset at e
- 19:43rupees so no matter how much the price
- 19:46of the underlying asset goes up my loss
- 19:49can't exceed e
- 19:51rupees okay not not even EES rather I I
- 19:55will definitely be able to buy it at e
- 19:57rupes
- 19:59right
- 20:02fine that's the
- 20:07thing fine we have looked at different
- 20:10uh financial instruments let's look at
- 20:12one particular uh real life situation
- 20:17and let's try to understand investing or
- 20:19trading in
- 20:21tution well this is something which
- 20:23happened uh some time
- 20:25back which was uh a court case between
- 20:29uh
- 20:31Amazon and um the future
- 20:34group so basically Reliance was
- 20:37acquiring the future group and Amazon
- 20:41filed a
- 20:42case and the case was there uh initially
- 20:46uh in the Supreme Court and then in the
- 20:48Singapore uh International arbit
- 20:50arbitration
- 20:52Center so the thing was the
- 20:56following if the uh so Amazon was
- 20:58against the
- 21:01deal so if the Reliance future deal
- 21:04happens so let's say you are standing
- 21:06and you're reading this in the
- 21:08newspaper that a deal is supposed to
- 21:10happen between Reliance and
- 21:12future Reliance will acquire uh
- 21:17future but if uh Amazon manages to win
- 21:22the case then the deal won't happen or
- 21:24the deal might be delayed
- 21:27indefinitely so if the deal happens then
- 21:30the Reliance price will go
- 21:33up if the deal is
- 21:35terminated in the court then Reliance
- 21:39will take a beating and the price will
- 21:42go down right so let's say you reading
- 21:45this in the newspaper you are caught in
- 21:47this dilemma you don't know whether the
- 21:48price of Reliance will go up or go down
- 21:51so I don't really know what's going to
- 21:54happen but I know that something will
- 21:57happen whichever way the verdict goes
- 22:00the price of Reliance stock will either
- 22:02go up or go down based on this news
- 22:05based on the outcome of this uh court
- 22:09case so what should I
- 22:11do should I go should I buy a stock of
- 22:14Reliance no I'm fearful it might go down
- 22:18should I sh a stock of Reliance no I
- 22:21don't know if the code verdict is in
- 22:24favor of Reliance the stock price will
- 22:26go up then I will run into losses
- 22:29so what should I
- 22:31do right I'm I'm I I know that it can go
- 22:35either way and I know that it will go
- 22:38either this way or that way so what can
- 22:41I do can I still make money in this
- 22:43scenario can I have some trading
- 22:47strategy okay so let's use the following
- 22:51trading strategy which we can use in
- 22:52this situation let's see so what am I
- 22:55betting on here what am I hoping that
- 22:58will
- 23:00happen I'm basically betting on
- 23:05movement I'm hoping that the price of
- 23:08Reliance will surely go up or go down it
- 23:12won't stay or hover around where it is
- 23:16right now so I'm really hoping for some
- 23:20movement right either either up or down
- 23:23I don't
- 23:24know so I will do the following what do
- 23:27I do I will buy a call option and a put
- 23:33option which have the same expiration
- 23:36date and same strike
- 23:38price same expiration date and same
- 23:41strike
- 23:43price okay this strategy is called a
- 23:47straddle
- 23:49strategy okay so I'm buying a call
- 23:53option and a put option what is the
- 23:55underlying asset here the stock of the
- 23:59stock of Reliance One stock of Reliance
- 24:01that's my underlying
- 24:03asset
- 24:05okay now if if St that is the price of
- 24:10the stock underlying stock underlying
- 24:12asset if it is above e
- 24:15then which one will I exercise if the
- 24:18price of the underlying asset is above
- 24:21e the call option gives me the right to
- 24:24buy it at
- 24:26e so it is a worthwhile right
- 24:28and I will exercise the call option will
- 24:31I exercise the put option no if the
- 24:34price of the asset is above e and I have
- 24:37the right to sell it at e then it's a
- 24:40useless right because I might as well
- 24:42sell it in the Market at a price above e
- 24:45so if St is greater than E I will only
- 24:49exercise the call option by a symmetric
- 24:51argument if STD is less than E I will
- 24:54only exercise the put option
- 25:00now let's see what is my
- 25:02payoff what is my payoff if I buy a call
- 25:05and a put of course right now I'm
- 25:08ignoring the price of uh the the
- 25:12options let's
- 25:15see if the price of so what do I have I
- 25:20have a put option
- 25:23PE and I have a call option
- 25:30if the price of the underlying asset
- 25:33which is this this is
- 25:36St the price of the underlying asset on
- 25:39the expiration date if this goes
- 25:42above uh capital E what will
- 25:46happen well then I will exercise the
- 25:49call
- 25:50option let's it it becomes uh e+
- 25:545 then what will happen I will exercise
- 25:57the call option
- 26:00I will the Call option gives me the
- 26:03right to buy the asset at e
- 26:07rupees and then I will sell it off in
- 26:09the Market at e plus 5 rupees and make a
- 26:11profit of 5
- 26:13rupees as the price of the asset goes up
- 26:16my payoff goes up so it is this segment
- 26:19of the
- 26:20line okay so if it is above e in this
- 26:23zone I'm exercising the call option
- 26:31what if the price goes below E let's say
- 26:34it becomes eus
- 26:385 then of course I will exercise the put
- 26:40option as we saw in the previous
- 26:42Slide the put option gives me the right
- 26:46to sell the asset at e rupees so what
- 26:49will I do I will buy one unit of the
- 26:51asset from the market at eus 5
- 26:54rupees and then I will use the put
- 26:57option and sell the asset ass ET at for
- 26:59e rupes and thereby get a payoff of five
- 27:03so lower the price higher my profit in
- 27:07this segment so here I'm using the put
- 27:12option so we
- 27:15see higher my deviation from E higher my
- 27:21profit if I use the straddle
- 27:24strategy okay higher my deviation from E
- 27:27higher my
- 27:29profit and remember I was betting on
- 27:32movement I was hoping that uh the price
- 27:35will change and I will get some
- 27:39profit of course if we take the price of
- 27:42the options into account the entire I
- 27:45have bought a put option and a call
- 27:46option remember so I've spent some money
- 27:49so the entire entire payoff gets uh
- 27:52shifted down by an amount PE plus c
- 27:58okay so this is what it looks like so if
- 28:01e is the strike price which I'm buying
- 28:03at let's say this is the this is the
- 28:06zone so let's say this is e minus
- 28:09Epsilon e plus
- 28:13Epsilon so I'm hoping that the change in
- 28:16price will be will take the price of the
- 28:19Reliance stock above this
- 28:22either to the right of this band or to
- 28:25the left of this band so I'm hoping for
- 28:28for movement so straddle is is a trading
- 28:31strategy where you don't know whether a
- 28:34particular asset will go up or down but
- 28:37you know for sure that they will
- 28:39definitely go either significantly up or
- 28:42significantly down so here you are
- 28:44betting for movement but you don't know
- 28:47the direction of the
- 28:49movement great that's a
- 28:53straddle another uh
- 28:58different version if you may call it a
- 29:01little change here though is
- 29:04strangle here also I'm betting on
- 29:07movement but I also have a hunch about
- 29:10the
- 29:11direction let's see what that
- 29:14means so what am I doing here again I'm
- 29:17buying a call option and I'm buying a
- 29:20put
- 29:22option but in this case the strike price
- 29:26of the put option is l lesser than
- 29:29capitally which is the strike price of
- 29:31the call
- 29:32option
- 29:35okay so uh you can imagine what will be
- 29:37the payoff if the price of the
- 29:40underlying asset s of capital t is
- 29:42greater than capital E then I will
- 29:45exercise the call if it is less than
- 29:47small E I will exercise the
- 29:50put and if it lies between SMY and
- 29:52capitally I will not exercise either of
- 29:55the
- 29:56options if it's it's not clear to you
- 29:59pause the video and think about it for
- 30:01for a
- 30:04minute so this is how the payoff will
- 30:07look
- 30:10like so I've taken into account so this
- 30:13is exactly like straddle but we have a
- 30:17uh we have a plateau in between here
- 30:21straddle was straddle was sharp v-shaped
- 30:24but here we have a steady Zone
- 30:29right okay but why is strangle uh when
- 30:33is strangle used instead of strle
- 30:35straddle let's understand
- 30:40this if since the expiration uh sorry
- 30:44since the strike price of the put option
- 30:46which I'm buying in strangle is lower
- 30:49than that of
- 30:51straddle the price of the put option
- 30:53will also be
- 30:54lower see what is put option A put
- 30:57option
- 30:58is a right to sell an asset at some
- 31:03strike
- 31:04price so higher that strike price more
- 31:08precious that right is and hence higher
- 31:11the price of the put
- 31:13option right which means that the price
- 31:17of the put option in strangle is lower
- 31:20than the price of the put option which I
- 31:22buy in straddle so the strangle
- 31:24portfolio is cheaper than the straddle
- 31:26portfolio
- 31:28okay but I'm still here as well betting
- 31:31on movement if you if you see the uh
- 31:35payoff you can see that I really
- 31:39want the stock price to go above this
- 31:42band either go to the right of this or
- 31:44go to the left of
- 31:46this
- 31:51okay but I'm kind of betting on upward
- 31:54movement more let's see how
- 31:59assume that the stock is trading at 15
- 32:01rupees in
- 32:04April now suppose I have a call option I
- 32:07bought a call option which has a strike
- 32:09price of
- 32:1015 and expiration date is
- 32:14June and I buy a put option which has a
- 32:18strike price of 15 and expiration date
- 32:20is June so this is a
- 32:23straddle now if I buy 100 sized straddle
- 32:26it means what
- 32:29it means I'm buying 100 calls and 100
- 32:32puts okay now the each call option with
- 32:36strike price 15 is worth 2 rupees and
- 32:40each put option with a strike price 15
- 32:43is worth 1 rupe so what is the price of
- 32:45my straddle portfolio it's 300
- 32:48rupees okay that's the that's the uh
- 32:51amount which I have to spend to buy 100
- 32:54calls and 100 puts of this kind or 100
- 32:57straddles
- 33:00okay and the straddle value will
- 33:02increase as the stock moves higher or
- 33:06lower but the Prof when will The Profit
- 33:08be
- 33:10realized so you can imagine
- 33:13here so if it is 15 if 15 is my strike
- 33:22price and uh so I will have to
- 33:26basically make a profit of three to
- 33:29break even because one put and one call
- 33:32has cost me 3 rupees so I will really
- 33:35hope that the price goes above
- 33:3918 or below
- 33:4212 right either above 18 or below 12
- 33:46that's what I'm hoping
- 33:47for so I'm hoping for at least a
- 33:50movement of three this is my straddle
- 33:54scenario and the straddle has no
- 33:56directional bias where whether it moves
- 33:58by an amount above three in the
- 34:00rightward direction or leftward
- 34:02Direction I don't care I will make
- 34:06profits now in the strangle what I'm
- 34:09doing is the
- 34:11following I'm buying a call option again
- 34:14with a strike price of
- 34:1615 but now I'm buying a put
- 34:20option with a strike price of 12.5
- 34:24instead of
- 34:2615 instead of buying a put
- 34:30option with a strike price of 15 which
- 34:33is what I did in straddle for $1 I'm
- 34:36looking to buy a put option with a
- 34:38strike price of 12.5 and now the price
- 34:41of that particular put option when the
- 34:43strike price is
- 34:4412.5 the price of that put option
- 34:49is25 okay the price of the call option
- 34:52with a strike price of 15 was how much
- 34:55two that's okay That Remains Two
- 34:58then price of every put call pair which
- 35:01I have is how much it is 2.25 two for
- 35:04the call option .25 for the put option
- 35:07if I buy 100 of those then what will I
- 35:10have what will be my total portfolio
- 35:12price it is
- 35:14225 that's my that's the amount I need
- 35:16to spend to buy a strangle
- 35:19portfolio Okay and which is which is
- 35:22significantly less than 300 which is the
- 35:25amount which I need to spend to buy a
- 35:28straddle
- 35:30portfolio
- 35:31also since 2.25 is the amount I'm
- 35:34spending on one particular unit of
- 35:37strangle that is one by a one put and
- 35:40one
- 35:41call I am hoping for a movement of
- 35:442.25 to break even only that much is
- 35:47good
- 35:48enough
- 35:52okay so it's it's a little cheaper than
- 35:54straddle that
- 35:56way great
- 35:59uh I think I will stop
- 36:02here and uh in the next lecture we'll
- 36:07talk about we'll look into a few more
- 36:09interesting uh uh financial instruments
- 36:13or or trading
- 36:15strategies and we will um also try to
- 36:21find out payoff of any particular
- 36:24portfolio any complicated portfolio
- 36:26which we might
- 36:28construct how to how to uh figure out
- 36:31the payoff of that we'll look at that in
- 36:34the next uh lecture we'll also look at a
- 36:39very important
- 36:40equality when it comes to pricing
- 36:46options but that we'll have to wait for
- 36:48that uh in the next lecture see you in
- 36:51the next lecture thank you
