Download or read book The Informational Role of Stock and Option Volume written by Kalok Chan and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the intraday interdependence of price movements and order flows for actively traded NYSE stocks and their CBOE-traded options. Stock net-buy volume (buyer-initiated volume minus seller-initiated volume)has strong predictive ability for subsequent stock and option returns, but call or put net-buy volume has little predictive ability. Furthermore, stock returns lead option returns more than they lag even after controlling for net-buy volume. Therefore, our results indicate that order flows in the stock market are informative but order flows in the option market are not, and suggest that informed investors submit trades primarily in the stock market rather than in the option market. There is also some evidence for the non-informational linkage between the two markets. Stock net-buy volume is positively (negatively) related to lagged call (put) returns, suggesting that option dealers dynamically hedge their outstanding short option positions when the option deltas change. However, call or put net-buy volume is not correlated with stock net-buy volume or lagged stock returns, suggesting that option traders do not use options for hedging or at least do not readjust their hedged positions frequently.

Book excerpt: This paper investigates the informational role of transactions volume in options markets. We develop an asymmetric information model in which informed traders may trade in option or equity markets. We show conditions under which informed traders trade options, and we investigate the implications of this for the linkage between markets. Our model predicts an important informational role for the volume of particular types of option trades. We empirically test our model's hypotheses with intra-day option data. Our main empirical result is that negative and positive option volumes contain information about future stock prices.
Book Synopsis The Information in Option Volume for Stock Prices by : Allen M. Poteshman
Download or read book The Information in Option Volume for Stock Prices written by Allen M. Poteshman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We find strong evidence of information transmission from the options market to underlying stock prices. Taking advantage of a unique dataset from the Chicago Board Options Exchange, we construct put to call volume ratios for underlying stocks, using only volume initiated by buyers to open new positions. Performing daily cross-sectional analyses from 1990 to 2001, we find that buying stocks with low put/call ratios and selling stocks with high put/call ratios generates an expected return of 40 basis points per day and 1 percent per week. This result is present during each year of our sample period, and is not affected by the exclusion of earnings announcement windows. Moreover, the result is stronger for smaller stocks, indicating that the options market may be a more important avenue for information transmission for stocks with less efficient information flow. Our analysis also sheds light on the type of investor behind the informed option trading. Specifically, we find that option trading from customers of full service brokers provides the strongest predictability, while that from firm proprietary traders is not informative. Furthermore, our analysis shows that while public customers on average trade in the options market as contrarians -- buying fresh new puts on stocks that have done well and calls on stocks that have done poorly, firm proprietary traders exhibit the opposite behavior. Finally, in contrast to the equity options market, we do not find any evidence of informed trading in the index options market.
Book Synopsis The Information in Option Volume for Future Stock Prices by : Allen M. Poteshman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present strong evidence that option trading volume contains information about future stock prices. Taking advantage of a unique data set, we construct put-call ratios from option volume initiated by buyers to open new positions. Stocks with low put-call ratios outperform stocks with high put-call ratios by more than 40 basis points on the next day and more than 1% over the next week. Partitioning our option signals into components that are publicly and nonpublicly observable, we find that the economic source of this predictability is nonpublic information possessed by option traders rather than market inefficiency. We also find greater predictability for stocks with higher concentrations of informed traders and from option contracts with greater leverage.

Taking advantage of a unique dataset from the Chicago Board Options Exchange, we construct put-call ratios from option volume initiated by buyers to open new positions. On a risk-adjusted basis, stocks with low put-call ratios outperform stocks with high put-call ratios by more than 40 basis points on the next day and more than 1% over the next week.

Book Synopsis Information Share in Options Markets by : Lenaye Harris
Download or read book Information Share in Options Markets written by Lenaye Harris and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I find no significant difference in the level of information share attributed to the option market when using put data as opposed to call data. In a 12-day sample of 14 S&P 500 stocks, trading volume in the options market increased significantly on the day of an earnings announcement, but, although some securities showed dramatic increases in option information share, no sample-wide consistently signed difference was found around earnings announcements. Companies with higher stock trading volume tend to exhibit higher information share in the options market. Implied price volatility is somewhat correlated with higher information share in options, but its significance shrinks when jointly evaluated with volume.
Book Synopsis Informational Content of Option Volume Prior to Takeovers by : Charles Cao
Download or read book Informational Content of Option Volume Prior to Takeovers written by Charles Cao and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the information embedded in both the stock and option markets prior to takeover announcements. During normal periods, buyer-seller initiated stock volume imbalances are significant predictors of next-day stock returns and option volume imbalances are uninformative. However, prior to takeover announcements, call volume imbalances are strongly positively related to next-day stock returns. Cross-sectional analysis shows that those takeover targets with the largest pre-announcement call-imbalance increases experience the highest announcement-day returns. The largest increase in buyer-initiated trading activity is in short-term out-of-the-money calls that subsequently experience the largest returns. Collectively, these findings are consistent with the hypothesis that, in the presence of pending extreme informational events, the options market plays an important role in price discovery.

All rights not granted by the above license are retained by the author. Abstract: This dissertation consists of three empirical studies about the informational content of options trading on subsequent equity returns and around major corporate events, such as mergers and acquisitions, and bankruptcies. The first chapter examines the informational content of options trading on acquirer announcement returns. I show that implied volatility spread predicts positively on the cumulative abnormal return (CAR), and implied volatility skew predicts negatively on the CAR. The predictability is much stronger around actual merger and acquisition (M&A) announcement days, compared with pseudo-event days. The prediction is weaker if pre-M&A stock price has incorporated part of the information, but stronger if acquirer's options trading is more liquid. Finally, I find that higher relative trading volume of options to stock predicts higher absolute CARs. The relation also exists among the target firms. In the second chapter, I reassess the presence of pre- bankruptcy-filing informed and insider trades by examining the information content of options trading before bankruptcy announcements. I find that bankruptcy filing returns are not significantly related to pre-filing insider stock trading. However, filing returns are significantly negatively related to pre-filing insider and informed options trading. The informational content of options trading reduces with options illiquidity and the amount of information impounded into pre-filing stock prices. In the third chapter, I use data on signed option volume to study which components of option volume predict returns and resolve the apparent inconsistency in the literature. I find no evidence that trades related to synthetic short positions in the underlying stocks contain more information than trades related to synthetic long positions. Purchases of calls that open new positions are the strongest predictor of returns, followed by call sales that close out existing purchased call positions. The signed O/S measures also predict announcement returns for both earnings announcements and unscheduled corporate events. Overall the results indicate that the role of options in providing embedded leverage is the most important channel why options trading predict stock returns. Subjects: Options (Finance)
Book Synopsis The Nature of Informed Option Trading: Evidence from the Takeover Market by : Marco Klapper
Download or read book The Nature of Informed Option Trading: Evidence from the Takeover Market written by Marco Klapper and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the kind of information ‘informed’ traders have prior to a takeover announcement using options of target firms and elaborates on the cross-sectional relationship between options and stocks around takeover announcements. Financial markets are driven by information and by individuals that generate, process, and disclose this information to the market. Naturally, there have to be individuals who possess more information about a firm or a future event than other market participants. Mergers and acquisitions are particularly interesting events in this regard because they can have significant implications for the firms and stakeholders involved, as well as for the competitive dynamics in the respective market. Because of the large potential price impact of such transactions, traders with private information about a prospective takeover are expected to trade on this information to make a profit. But who are these ‘informed traders’ and what kind of information do they possess? This study tries to give a respond to this question.

Book Synopsis Informational Content of Trading Volume and Open Interest - an Empirical Study of Stock Option Market in India by : Sandeep Srivastava
Download or read book Informational Content of Trading Volume and Open Interest - an Empirical Study of Stock Option Market in India written by Sandeep Srivastava and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the role of certain non-price variables, namely open interest and trading volume, from the stock option market in determining the price of underlying shares in cash market. In order to examine the significance of these variables, I used the call and put option open interest and volume based predictors as given by Bhuyan and Yan (2002). The results show that these predictors have significant explanatory power with open interest being more significant as compared to trading volume. The study provides deterministic parameters that can be used by the uninformed investors to predict the price of underlying shares using stock options market data and formulate the profitable trading strategies based on it. Finally, it provides support to the view that presence of option market improves the price discovery in underlying asset market.
