2 Important Information Options carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Certain requirements must be met to trade options through Schwab. Multiple-leg options strategies will involve multiple commissions. Spread strategies must be done in a margin account. With long options, investors may lose 100% of funds invested. Please read the options Disclosure Document titled Characteristics and Risks of Standardized options before considering any option transaction. Call your local Schwab office or write & Co., Inc., 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA for a current copy. For the sake of simplicity, the examples in this presentation do not take into consideration commission and other transaction fees, tax considerations, or margin requirements, which are factors that may significantly affect the economic consequences of strategies displayed. Please contact a tax advisor for the tax implications involved in these strategies. Stock and option symbols, and price and volume data shown are for illustrative purposes only. 2

13 Straddles & Strangles: As a volatility strategy Long Straddles & Strangles typically established a few days to a few weeks before earnings release (when implied volatility is still relatively low) and closed out just prior to earnings release (when implied volatility is relatively high) Short Straddles & Strangles typically sold just prior to earnings release (when implied volatility is relatively high) and closed out after earnings release (when implied volatility has dropped sharply) 13
14 Straddles & Strangles: As a volatility strategy 14
15 Straddles & Strangles: As a volatility strategy Long Straddles & Strangles if a large directional movement occurs between the date the options are bought and the date the options are sold, the loss on one option could be enough to eliminate the gains due to the volatility increase Short Straddles & Strangles if a large directional movement occurs due to the earnings release, the loss on one option could be enough to eliminate the gains due to the volatility decrease on both options 15
16 Straddles & Strangles Summary Advantages: The trader does not have to know which direction the underlying is going to move. With a very volatile stock, it may be possible to profit on both options, if each are closed out at the proper times. As a volatility strategy, changes in volatility can result in profitability on both options if the positions are opened and closed at the proper times. When both options are short, the gains due to time erosion are greater than it would be for a single option strategy. 16
17 Straddles & Strangles Summary Disadvantages: On long straddles and strangles, the loss incurred due to time erosion is greater than it would be for a single option strategy. On long straddles and strangles, the underlying movement in either direction must be greater in order to reach profitability than what is required for a one directional strategy. Because straddles and strangles require 2 options, the commission costs to establish and/or close them out will be higher than for single leg positions. As a volatility strategy, changes in volatility can result in losses on both options if the positions are opened and closed at the wrong times. 17
18 Synthetics 18
19 Synthetics: Description A synthetic position is a strategy involving a combination of options, or stock and options that has virtually the same risk-reward profile as a strategy involving only one stock or one option. 19
20 Synthetics: When to Use Occasionally it may be necessary to establish a position in a security that isn t available to trade. It may be cheaper to establish a synthetic versus the actual strategy. 20
21 Synthetic Long Stock A long stock position combined with a short put of the same series. Profit Synthetic Long Stock Long 1 XYZ 30 call Short 1 XYZ 30 put = Long Loss Lower Note: Chart depicts strategy at expiration. Higher 21
22 Synthetic Short Stock A short call position combined with a long put of the same series. Profit Synthetic Short Stock Short 1 XYZ 30 call Long 1 XYZ 30 put = Short Loss Lower Higher Note: Chart depicts strategy at expiration. 22
23 Synthetics Summary Advantages: May be cheaper than the original to establish May allow for the creation of a position not available through other means May eliminate the obligation to pay a dividend on borrowed shares Disadvantages: May eliminate the benefit of owning the equity May have a limited life since options are involved May have risk of early assignment if in-the-money May be difficult due to low liquidity of options 23
24 Option Repair Strategy 24
25 Long Stock Trader If you are bullish you might purchase a long stock position. This position has unlimited upside and substantial downside risk. Profit Long Stock Loss Lower Higher 25
26 Long Stock Trader Assume you bought 1000 shares of XYZ at in March but by mid-may, the stock has dropped down to Assume you did not hedge your position with options. 26
27 How Can You Use Options to Repair Your Position? 27
28 Option Repair Strategy If the stock has not dropped too far, you might be able to get back to even, without the stock rising to your original purchase price. Before you consider this strategy, you must be sure you still have a slightly bullish opinion about the future movement of the stock but you don t expect it to exceed your original purchase price. If the stock does not go up at all, you will not recover any of your losses. 28
29 Consider a 1 x 2 Call Ratio Spread Buy 10 July 15 Sell 20 July Net Debit =.05 Most of the purchase price of the 10 July 15 calls can be funded by the sale of 20 July calls. Your unrealized losses before the ratio spread: X 1000 shares = -$2750 After the trade your unrealized losses = -$2800 (only $50 more) While this strategy would be entered as a 1 X 2 ratio spread, since you own the underlying stock, after execution you will have a 10 X 10 July bull call spread and 10 July covered calls against your stock position. 29
30 1 x 2 Call Ratio Spread The ratio spread strategy creates the potential for faster recovery of your unrealized losses, should the stock begin to move higher. 10 x 20 Ratio Repair Strategy Profit $4,000 $2,450 Break Even $16.28 Strike Price $15 Strike Price $17.50 $20 It also lowers your breakeven point from to about You will also give up your upside profit potential beyond Loss Lower Note: Chart depicts strategy at expiration. Higher 30
31 How does this strategy work? Once the stock exceeds the lower strike price, the call ratio spread will have positive theta. 10 x 20 Ratio Repair Strategy Profit $4,000 $2,450 Strike Price $17.50 Break Even $16.28 $20 Loss Lower Strike Price $15 Note: Chart depicts strategy at expiration. Higher Theta means it benefits from time decay. 31
32 How does this strategy work? Since this strategy has twice as many short options as long options, if the stock remains between the two strike prices, the short options will lose more aggregate time value than the long options. Long Calls Short Calls XYZ Stock Price 32
33 Price How does this strategy work? Additionally, above the lower strike price, the long options are in-the-money but the short options are not, so the long options will have a higher delta causing them to gain value faster if the stock has only a modest price increase. $5 $4 Underlying Security Price Long Option Short Option $3 $2 $1 33
34 Best Case Scenario at Expiration Maximum profit of $2,450 occurs at or above at expiration: Position Stock Outcome Sold at for breakeven 20 short calls sold for.35 expire worthless 10 long 15 calls can be sold at 2.50 for a 1.75 gain Total Profit at stock +.35 (x 20 contracts) (x 10 contracts) = 2.45 or $2,450 34
35 Other Scenarios at Expiration XYZ at $14.75 XYZ at $15 Trader w/stock & Ratio Spread Outcome at Expiration - $2,800 Trader w/stock Only Outcome at Expiration - $2,750 Strategy Outcome: $50 more in losses sustained. Trader w/stock & Ratio Spread Outcome at Expiration - $2,550 Trader w/stock Only Outcome at Expiration - $2,500 Strategy Outcome: $50 more in losses sustained. XYZ at $16 Trader w/stock & Ratio Spread Outcome at Expiration - $550 Trader w/stock Only Outcome at Expiration - $1,500 Strategy Outcome: $950 less in losses sustained. XYZ at $16.28 XYZ at $17 Trader w/stock & Ratio Spread Outcome at Expiration $10 Trader w/stock Only Outcome at Expiration - $1,220 Strategy Outcome: $10 profit received. Trader w/stock & Ratio Spread Outcome at Expiration $1,450 Trader w/stock Only Outcome at Expiration - $500 Strategy Outcome: $1,450 profit received. 35
36 Other Scenarios at Expiration Maximum profit of $2,450 occurs at or above at expiration Position Stock Other short calls Long 15 calls Outcome Will be called away at for breakeven on 10 of the short calls Will be assigned and create a short position at which would be covered at the market for a loss can be sold at a profit which will offset the loss on the short stock position $ for $. Total Profit above = 2.45 points 36
37 1 X 2 call Ratio Spread Risks If the stock does not increase in price, your losses will be slightly higher. This strategy does not create any downside protection. If the stock increases dramatically, opportunity for additional profits beyond the higher strike price, will be lost. 37
