+Bear Spreads 
+Using Call Options 
+Options are versatile investment vehicles. For every type of bullish position that can 
+be established, there is normally a corresponding bearish type of strategy. For every 
+neutral strategy, there is an aggressive strategy for the investor with an opposite opin­
+ion. One such case has already been explored in some detail; the straddle buy or 
+reverse hedge strategy is the opposite side of the spectrum. For many of the strate­
+gies to be described from this point on, there is a corresponding strategy designed for 
+the strategist with the opposite point of view. In this vein, a bear spread is the oppo­
+site of a bull spread. 
+THE BEAR SPREAD 
+In a call bear spread, one buys a call at a certain striking price and sells a call at a 
+lower striking price. This is a vertical spread, as was the bull spread. The bear spread 
+tends to be profitable if the underlying stock declines in price. Llke the bull spread, 
+it has limited profit and loss potential. However, unlike the bull spread, the bear 
+spread is a credit spread when the spread is set up with call options. Since one is sell­
+ing the call with the lower strike, and a call at a lower strike always trades at a high­
+er price than a call at a higher strike with the same expiration, the bear spread must 
+be a credit position. It should be pointed out that most bearish strategies that can be 
+established with call options may be more advantageously constructed using put 
+options. Many of these same strategies are therefore discussed again in Part III.
