Option Fundamentals • 23
|

Here an investor is bullish on the prospects of the stock, so he or she doesn’t
|
||||
mind accepting exposure to the stock’s downside risk below $50. In return for
|
||||
accepting this risk, the option investor receives a premium—let’s say $5. This
|
||||
$5 is income to the investor—kind of like a do-it-yourself dividend payment.
|
||||
By the way, as you will discover later in this book, this is also the risk-
|
||||
return profile of a covered call.

Above an investor wants to enjoy exposure to the stock’s upside potential
|
||||
while limiting his or her losses in case of a market fall. By buying a put
|
||||
option struck a few dollars under the market price of the stock, the investor
|
||||
cancels out the downside exposure he or she accepted when buying the
|
||||
stock. With this protective put overlay in place, any loss on the stock will be
|
||||
compensated for through a gain on the put contract. The investor can use
|
||||
these gains to buy more of the stock at a lower price or to buy another put
|
||||
contract as protection when the first contract expires.
