Extremely high volatility: stock moves $2.00 per day

notion image
  • Covered call outperforms ~34% of the time
  • You sold the 103 call at $.69…you expect to lose $1.60 of probability-weighted excess return since the stock moves $2.00 per day instead of $1
  • This is confirmed by our binomial tree model where we compute option prices arithmetically. If the stock moves $2.00 per day the 103 call is worth $2.29
