HEDGE A CALL OPTION WITH A PUT OPTION ?

Sometimes an investment has made substantial gains, but you're not ready to sell the assets just yet. At the same time, you don’t want to risk losing the profit you’ll get by cashing in immediately. When you face this dilemma with call options, you can hedge your position with offsetting put options.

Calls and Puts

When you purchase call options on stock or another underlying security, you receive the right to buy shares at a designated price called the strike price. You can exercise your right to buy until the option expires, but you are not required to do so. Put options work exactly the same, except you get the right to sell a security instead of buy it. Suppose you buy a call and put option contract for the same stock at the same strike price. If the stock price increases, you would exercise the call to buy shares at the lower strike price, and then sell at market value, netting a profit. The call option is said to be “in the money.” The put option has no value, because you pay more to buy the shares needed to exercise the option than the strike price you are paid. However, if the price of the stock falls instead, the call option would have no value and the put option would be in the money.
