Subject: Fw: GBP + AAPL [C] From: Vahe Stepanian ‹ > Date: Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:00:35 -0500 To: Paul Morris Cc: Classification: Confidential Paul - would like to send JE the below as a follow up to Tuesday. If he wants to write calls vs. AAPl, think now is an opportune time. Let me know what you think Thanks, Vahe Good Afternoon Jeffrey - following up Tuesday's email (included below): 1) WSJ has reported that AAPL has signed a deal w/China mobile, providing it a boost in the world's largest mobile market. Shares have reacted, reaching a new 52 wk. high @ —$572 (vs. $565.00 close yesterday) on the back of the report. Consider selling Jan 595 or 600 Calls (currently $12.20 and $10.70 bid, respectively). 2) We believe the GBP trade is still relevant ahead of payrolls tomorrow. ADP came in ahead of street expectations yesterday (215k vs. 170k expected; revised October +54k), and street is calling for headline number of +185k tomorrow morning. GBP is currently —1.6350 (vs. USD), but is bouncing around today and we'd look to enter trade on additional GBP strength. Thank you, Vahe (212) 454-1539 Forwarded by Vahe Stepanian/db/dbcom on 12/05/2013 08:50 AM From: dbcom Vahe Stepanian/db/- To: [email protected], EFTA01479352 Cc: , Paul Morris/db/- dbcom@DBAMERICAS Date: AM Subject: [C] 12/03/2013 10:20 GBP + AAPL Classification: Confidential Good Morning Jeffrey, Hope you had a great holiday weekend. As you have likely seen, GBP is currently at a 2 yr. high vs. USD (@ —1.64; see graph below). The most recent move up has been attributed to a rise in construction activity for a seventh month, the fastest pace since August 2007. I recall you mentioned in our meeting that your view is to sell GBP if it approaches 1.65. For what it's worth, our DB analysts have a bearish view on the pound. A recent (DB) FX note discusses reasons why it's tough to build a fundamentally bullish case for sterling with the market pricing the first BoE hikes by mid-2015 (well ahead of the ECB and even the Fed). We see potential for GBP to reverse to the mid-1.50s by year-end. With that said, we priced up a few options that I've included below - consider selling a call, buying a put or a risk reversal. Recognize that GBP vol. is currently relatively low (vs. historical levels).

I know you're looking to sell calls, will provide levels if still interested. Recall you're long 2k AAPL @ —$529.06. Have a great day.
