3) The cooked up spread. You have been doing research on General Electric Company (GE): You note that Ford is currently trading at $6.43. After doing some analysis you feel that a fair price range over the next Six months for GE is between $7 and $10. You however, are unsure if you wish to invest in GE over a long horizon and feel that an options trade may be most appropriate. You see that there are listed options with a January 15 expiration and that these would work for your purposes. You decide that you want to long one call with a $7 strike, you also decide that you don't want to spend much money entering the trade, so you short 10 calls with a strike of $9 as this aligns with your price range on GE. What is the dollar outlay on this trade, max profit, and max loss (6 pts, two points per answer)? in your opinion is the potential profit with the risk (two points)? Now, what if instead you also buy 9 calls with a strike of $10 which was on the high side of your price estimate. What would be the max loss,max profit, and the break even point (9 points, three points per)? Is this trade worth it? Note it is okay to use the last trade price, even though in real life we would want to really use the bid/ask spread to really calculate the cost of the trade.
