When a short seller sells a stock, he or she gets immediate profit exposure
|
||||
to the stock’s downside potential. The seller is selling at $50 and hopes to make
|
||||
a profit by buying the shares back later at a lower price—let’s say $35. When we
|
||||
get profit exposure to a stock’s downside potential using options, we are getting
|
||||
the same exposure as if we sold the stock at $50, except that we do not have to
|
||||
worry about losing our shirts if the stock moves up instead of down. In order to
|
||||
get this peace of mind, though, we must spend $5 in premium. This means that
|
||||
if we hold the position to expiration, we will only realize a net profit if the stock
|
||||
is trading at the $50 mark less the money we have already paid to buy that ex-
|
||||
posure—$5 in this case. As such, we are effectively selling the stock short at $45.
