For example, let’s say that you believe that XYZ limited shares are going to rise in value over the next month. They are currently trading at $1. 00 per share. You can either purchase 10, 000 shares right now, and invest $10, 000 or you could buy the right to purchase them at $1. 00, one month from now. For this right, you will pay premium. The premium you will pay will be approximately 4 cents per share. Therefore, you will invest $400 ( $0. 04 x 10, 000 ).
If the share price of XYZ goes up to $1. 20 in the month, then you can exercise your right to buy the shares at $1. 00. You will therefore make a profit per share of 16 cents ( $0. 20 profit – $0. 04 premium ). With 10, 000 shares, you will make a profit of $1, 600, or 400 % on your original investment.
Had you invested $10, 000 in the first place, you would have only made $2, 000, or 20 % profit.
