Default In the money option



Hi,

I bought allahabad bank 90 PA some days back for premium of 3.95. Spot is now at 81. But the bid/offer price is at 2.5/11.5 and quantity traded is 0.

Do you think i will get a better selling price ? What would happen if i hold it till expiry.

Appreciate any replies.

Thanks

The illiquidity is the biggest concern for options traders, especially when the option goes deep in the money or deep out of the money.
Since it is an American style option, you can exercise the option, and in this case would receive Rs. 9 for it.
If you hold it till expiry, you will be running the risk of the price bouncing back above the 90 level, in which case you may have to book a loss, or let the option expire worthless.

If the price of Satyam closes on 29th December above Rs. 720, you will have to pay the difference. Say it closes at 730, then you will have to shell out Rs. 30/- out of which you have received Rs. 20/- and the rest Rs. 10/- the loss incurred by you.

The options are compulsorily settled on the closing price of the underlying. However, if someone exercises the 700 call option tomorrow and you are assigned, (assignment is done by the computer randomly) then you will have to pay according to the closing price tomorrow.

Hope this helps

Regards,
Karuna

You can exercise any in the money option at any time before expiry. If you wait for expiry the difference between the strike price and closing price will be credited / debited (in case out of money) respectively.
