Warrant Formula


About Warrant Formula
Field NameDescription
Code►  Stock Code
Name►  Warrant Name 
Ref Price►  Reference Price.  ►  The warrant’s last done price
Strike►  The price at which an option may be exercised
Underlying►  The mother share’s price
Gearing►  A measure of how much the call warrant should outperform or under-perform the underlying share over a very
      short period of time.

                                                                Effective Gearing = Gearing delta
►  A gearing of 10 times and a delta of 0.50 would equate to an effective gearing of 5 times, which implies that every
      RM1.00 exposure in a call warrant could equate to an effective exposure of RM5.00 in the underlying share.

Prem (%)►  Premium (%).  ►  Measures the amount (in %) the underlying share price has to move at expiry date for the investor to break even.

               Premium   =   (Call warrant price + Exercise price) - Underlying share price
                                                                       Underlying share price

 
►  Positif- Value in Green     negative - Value in Red
Maturity Date►  Expiry Date.  ►  It is the day until which the call warrants can be exercised (American-style), or the day on which the call warrants
      can be exercised (European-style).
Remaining Days
         
►  Maturity Date - Current Date
Und/ Strike (%)►  If the value is > 100% display in Green to denote IN the money
►  If the value is <= 100% display in Red to denote OUTof the money
I.V►  Implied Volatility.  ►  A measure of an underlying share’s expected volatility as reflected by the market price of the call warrants on that
      underlying share using an appropriate model. It reflects the market expectations of future volatility in the share price.
      An implied volatility of 30% means that the market expected variation of the share price movements is +30% to -30%,
      on an annualized basis.
►  All things being equal, generally, the higher the implied volatility, the higher the call warrant price.  The concept of
      implied volatility is not applicable for Zero-strike call warrants.
H.V 90D►  Historical Volatility for 90 days.
Delta►  The relationship between the expected change in the call warrant price and the corresponding change in the
      underlying share price.

                                                     Delta =         Change in the call warrant price
                                                                      Change in the underlying share price 
►  A delta of 0.50 implies that if the value of the underlying share changes by RM0.10, then the value of the call
      warrant should change by RM0.05. Zero-strike call warrants have a delta of 1.
Gamma►  The rate of change in the delta of an option for a small change in the underlying. The rate of change is greatest
      when an option is at-the-money and decreases as the price of the underlying moves further away from the strike
      price in either direction. A long gamma position is one in which a trader is long options. For a position that is short
      gamma, the opposite holds.
Vega►  Meas7ures the change in an option’s price caused by changes in volatility. Vega is at its highest when an option
      is at-the-money. It decreases the more the market and strike prices diverge.
Theta 7D►  Theta 7 days.►  This measures the effect on an option’s price of a one-day decrease in the time to expiration. The more the market
      and strike prices diverge, the less effect theta has on a vanilla option’s price.
Isuuer►  The issuer of the SW.
In-the-money►  A call warrant is in-the-money when the underlying share price is above the exercise price of the call warrant,
    i.e. the call warrant has intrinsic value.
Out-of-the-money►  A call warrant is out-of-the-money when the underlying share price is below the exercise price of the call
    warrant i.e. the call warrant does not have any intrinsic value.

Market Review - Trouble in Europe.




The FBM KLCI lost 2 points to 1265 points yesterday, weighed
down by Hong Leong Bank, AMMB, CIMB, MISC and Genting. Regional bourses were
weaker, with the Hang Seng Index falling by 1.8% while European bourses lost 2%-3%
on concerns over the sovereign debt of a few EU nations. The Dow suffered a 268-
point decline and is now at the 10,000-point mark. Today’s news headlines: Kwantas
buys 1,360 hectares of oil palm estate in Sabah for RM83.8m, KNM’s MD in
collaboration with 2 other parties offers to buy up the entire business and undertakings
of the company at RM0.90 per share, MISC forms a JV company with Al-Hilal Shipping
Agency to act as its exclusive shipping agent in the UAE, Zecon enters a JV to
undertake oil & gas services and supplies business, while Mudajaya wins a RM241.3m
job to design and construct Boulevard Plaza in Putrajaya. We expect the FBM KLCI to
retest the critical support at 1256 pts

Daily Market Outlook - MBB

MAYBANK INVESTMENT BANK BERHAD  

Results Review
DiGi.Com RM22.10: Sell
- Braced for a hyper-competitive 2010?
Positioned for yield.   After bravely negotiating a year of introducing its 3G network during an economic recession, DiGi should profit from its expanded offerings in a probably more benign economy in 2010. Active capital management will offer gross dividend yields of over 9% p.a. but only 6% p.a. net profit growth over 2010-11.

Technicals
The FBM KLCI rose 3.39 points to close at 1,267.15. Its resistance areas at 1,267 and 1,290 will cap market gains, whilst the significantly weaker support areas for the FBM KLCI are located at 1,253 and 1,265. Due to the Dow’s decline of 26.30 points, we expect the FBM KLCI to remain unstable to lower today. Our stock pick for today is a technical “TAKE PROFIT” call for SIME.
