4.5.6.2 Options Strategies
When you buy or sell an option, you are speculating on the direction of the market and laying your assets on the table in the hope of making a quick profit. Specifically, if you hold a put or call, you are anteing up a fixed portion of your assets, hoping to win the jackpot. In contrast, if you write a put or a call, you choose to generate current income at substantial risk.
