Introduction
Thinking Out of the Box • Improving Option Pricing Strategies: A Scientific
Investigation • Assumptions Made by Popular Models: Are They Correct? •
Optimal Model Inputs • What Is Covered in the Chapters? • Who Will
Benefit? • Tools and Materials Used in the Investigation • An Invitation
Chapter 1
A Review of Options Basics 19
Basic Options: Calls and Puts • Naked and Covered • Additional Option
Terminology • Factors Influencing Option Premium (well-known factors such
as volatility, time, strike, stock price, and interest rate; lesser-known factors
such as skew, kurtosis, and cycles) • Uses of Options • Option Pricing Models
(the Greeks, Black-Scholes, why use a pricing model?) • Graphic Illustrations
(the influence of various factors on option premium) • Put-Call Parity,
Conversions, and Reversals • Synthetics and Equivalent Positions •
Summary • Suggested Reading
Chapter 2
Fair Value and Efficient Price 51
Defining Fair Value • Fair Value and the Efficient Market • The Context
Dependence of Fair Value • Understanding and Estimating Fair Value • Fair
Value and Arbitrage • Fair Value and Speculation • Estimating Speculative
Fair Value (modeling the underlying stock, pricing the option) • Summary •
Suggested Reading
Chapter 3
Popular Option Pricing Models 71
The Cox-Ross-Rubinstein Binomial Model (specifying growth and volatility,

Chapter 9
Option Prices in the Marketplace 383
Data and Software • Study 1: Standard Volatility, No Detrending • Method •
Results (calls on stocks with 30% historical volatility and with 90% historical
volatility, puts on stocks with 30% historical volatility and with 90% historical
volatility) • Summary (discussion of issues, suggestions for further study)
Conclusion
Defining Fair Value • Popular Models and Their Assumptions (the assumptions
themselves, strengths and weaknesses of popular models) • Volatility Payoffs
and Distributions • Mathematical Moments (moments and holding periods,
moments and distributions, moments and day of the week, moments and
seasonality, moments and expiration date) • Volatility (standard historical
volatility as an estimator of future volatility, the reliability of different measures
of volatility, developing a better estimator of future volatility, implied volatility)
• Conditional Distributions (raw historical volatility: conditional distributions
vs. Black-Scholes; regression-estimated volatility: conditional distributions vs.
Black-Scholes; detrended distributions: conditional distributions vs. Black-
Scholes; distributions and the volatility payoff; skew and kurtosis as variables
in a conditional distribution; conditional distributions and venue; technical
indicators as conditioning variables) • Using Nonlinear Modeling Techniques
to Price Options (neural networks vs. polynomial regressions vs. Black-Scholes,
strengths and weaknesses of nonlinear modeling techniques, hybrid models) •
Volatility Revisited (the impact of historical skew, kurtosis, and historical
volatility on future volatility; using technical indicators in the prediction of
future volatility) • Option Prices in the Marketplace • Summary
