+Ratio Spreads Using Puts 
+The put option spreader may want to sell more puts than he owns. This creates a ratio 
+spread. Basically, two types of put ratio spreads may prove to be attractive: the stan­

+THE RATIO PUT SPREAD 
+This strategy is designed for a neutral to slightly bearish outlook on the underlying 
+stock. In a ratio put spread, one buys a number of puts at a higher strike and sells 
+more puts at a lower strike. This position involves naked puts, since one is short more

+striking price of the written puts at expiration. 
+Example: Given the following: 
+XYZ common, 50; 
+XYZ January 45 put, 2; and 
+XYZ January 50 put, 4. 
+A ratio put spread might be established by buying one January 50 put and simulta­

+puts, the spread could be done for even money. There is no upside risk in this posi­
+tion. If XYZ should rally and be above 50 at January expiration, all the puts would
