3. (a) You believe that Tesla will go down by 20% over the next few months. Using CME group create a bear spread portfolio from available options (use bid-ask midpoint) that has no time 0 cost (no cost includes strategies that make money in time 0) and will be profitable if Tesla goes down 20%.
- Describe exactly the options you would buy including the prices and show that there is no cost (or positive payout) to the position today
- Draw a diagram that shows the payoffs at time T. Label the diagram clearly.
(b) Again using CME group, create a butterfly spread from available options (use bid-ask midpoint) that will pay you if Tesla goes down by about 20% or up by about 20% over the next few months. Try to create this spread with as little up front cost as possible.
