Quick question about BOWs

Posted by: Ruthian23 on Oct 27, 09:35

I understand what buying long does, but say a BOW strike price is 150 and the price of the shares is the original $5. If you short, does that mean you're betting on the price ONLY being between 150 and 154.99, or are you betting on it cashing out at $0? The way I read it, if it cashes out at zero, it cashes out at zero for everybody and no one wins anything whether you long or shorted it. Is that correct?

In that case shorting at 5 would mean that you expect it to do lower than 155. If it cashes out at 0 you win 5... {nm} slappydavid Oct 27, 11:54

BOW? You mean Blockbuster Warrant? With a strike of $150, and you short, you're betting the film makes anything less than $150M in the edzep Oct 27, 11:59

Oh, right, so it'll just be the $5. I was making sure that if the strike price was 150 and it made 80 that you wouldn't get 70 per share on Ruthian23 Oct 27, 12:43
