chase can achieve. If the underlying stock remains relatively unchanged, the short
|
||||
seller would do better because he does not risk losing his entire investment in a lim
|
||||
ited amount of time if the underlying stock changes only slightly in price. However,
|
||||
if the underlying stock should rise dramatically, the short seller can actually lose more
|
||||
than his initial investment. The short sale of stock has theoretically unlimited risk.
|
||||
Such is not true of the put option purchase, whereby the risk is limited to the amount
|
||||
of the initial investment. One other point should be made when comparing the pur
|
||||
chase of a put and the short sale of stock: The short seller of stock is obligated to pay
|
||||
the dividends on the stock, but the put option holder has no such obligation. This is
|
||||
an additional advantage to the holder of the put.

SELECTING WHICH PUT TO BUY
|
||||
Many of the same types of analyses that the call buyer goes through in deciding which
|
||||
call to buy can be used by the prospective put buyer as well. First, when approach
|
||||
ing put buying as a speculative strategy, one should not place more than 15% of his
|
||||
risk capital in the strategy. Some investors participate in put buying to add some
|
||||
amount of downside protection to their basically bullishly-oriented common stock
|
||||
portfolios. More is said in Chapter 17 about buying puts on stocks that one actually
|
||||
owns.
|

The out-ofthe-nwney put offers both higher reward potentials and higher risk
|
||||
potentials than does the in-the-nwney put. If the underlying stock drops substantial-
