Definitions
Call option- Gives the holder the right, but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of stock at a fixed price by a specified date. Call options will be used in the PCP (put-call-put) strategy
Option- A contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell 100 shares of stock at a fixed price (called the strike price) by a specified date (called the expiration date). It is the right to execute a stock transaction.
Put option- Gives the holder the right, but not the obligation to sell 100 shares of stock at a fixed price by a specified date.

Option Premiums In Relation To Stock Price
• Premium = intrinsic value + time value
• Intrinsic value = amount ITM (only for ITM strikes)
• Time value: Total premium – intrinsic value
– Stock $56
– Strike $50
– Premium $8
– IV $6
– TV $2
• All premiums consist of time value only for ATM and OTM strikes

Preview Example For Calls
• Purchase 100 shares of Company XYX @ $48 per share = $4800.
• Sell an option: sell someone the right to buy these shares for $50 per share during the next month.
• You are paid a premium of $1.50 per share = $150.
• This is a 3.1% 1-month return = 37% annualized.

PREVIEW SCENARIO I
• At the end of the month, the stock price is less than $50; your shares are NOT purchased.
• You keep your 3.1% 1-month profit and are free to sell another option.

PREVIEW SCENARIO II
• At the end of the month, the stock price is above $50 per share and your shares ARE purchased.
• You now make an ADDITIONAL $200 on the sale of the stock.
• Total 1-month profit is $350 = 7.3% 1-month return = 87% annualized!

Preview Example For Puts• Stock BCI is trading @ $75
• The out-of-the-money $72.50 put is selling for $2 for a 1-month
expiration
• We deposit $7,050.00 into our cash brokerage accounts per 100
shares of obligation
• We sell the put option for $200 per 100 shares of obligation
• This option premium is ours to keep no matter what transpires by
the end of the contract
• We are now obligated to buy BCI shares @ $72.50 per share should
the option buyer choose to exercise the options
• Our initial profit from the put sale = $200/$7050 = 2.8% (less trading
commissions)
• This annualizes to a 34% return
www.thebluecollarinvestor.com 10
PREVIEW SCENARIO I
• If the price of BCI remains above the strike price (agreed upon sales
price of $72.50), the option buyer (holder) is not going to elect to exercise
the option and sell shares to us at a price lower than the current market
value.
• Option will expire worthless, we will have generated our 2.8%, 1-
month return and the cash is now freed up to secure another put sale the
next contract month.
www.thebluecollarinvestor.com 11
PREVIEW SCENARIO II
• Price of BCI does drop below the $72.50 strike price in which case the option will be exercised and
the shares sold to us.
• The cash previously deposited into our brokerage account is used for this purchase.
• The cost basis we now own this stock at is $70.50, the $72.50 we paid for it less the $2 put premium
we generated from the original option sale.
• At this point the put seller who is now the share owner can take one of the following paths:
• Sell the stock
• Hold the stock long term
• Write a covered call on the stock (giving the option buyer the right to buy these shares from us) to
generate additional income
