Subject: B XLK Calls - low im lied vol [I] From: Tazia Smith < Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:46:43 -0500 To: [email protected] Cc: Paul Morris < Vinit Sahni < Nay Gu•ta < Vahe Stepanian Classification: For internal use only Jeffrey - Nay highlights XLK OTC calls below; we like this big-cap US tech underlier. The listed market offer s comparable low implied vol entry point. The March $37 strike calls are offered -72bps (offer vol: 11.9%). Jun $38 calls are offered -1% (offer vol: 11.8%). Spot reference of $35.88 on XLK. Meanwhile, your AAPL shares are up -1.1% ahead of earnings on Monday, largely due to Ichan tweeting today that he has been buying (source: Bloomberg, 1/22/14). January implied vol on AAPL shares is ov er 40% ahead of the earnings announcement (skew is fairly flat between 80-120%). Note: Jan31 $575 strike are presently $7.35 (-1.3%) bid (vol offer: 43.3%, $555.35 spot ref). You could sell those if you're more bearish than Ichan into earnings! (i suggest that tongue-in-cheek, i suspect you'd rather just keep the upside potential in your shares, but let us know). Let us know your thoughts on XLK. Best Regards, Tazia Indicative levels only.
