What is PUT OPTION
If you think a stock price is going to go down,
then there are 3 trades that you can make to profit from a rising stock
price:
- you
can sell the stock
- you
can buy put options on the stock, or
- you
can write call options on the stock
Selling stock huge capital investment i.e.your total
capital is @ risk plus u need to cover it cover intraday or supply delivery
Writing call option also need huge margin and risk associated
with it is unlimited
Buying put option give u unlimited profit upside and limited
risk downside.
Only enemy of put option is time so u should book your profits
as early as possible.
Let’s understand using an example. Suppose, today’s date is
25-APR-2012 and you BUY a RELIANCE PUT option (strike=700, EXPIRY MAY 31)
@ Rs. 10 per contract when RELIANCE stock was getting traded at 740.
Let’s see what happens after options expiration.
Case I : Reliance stock price greater than the strike price on expiry day cut-off time
Net loss = Premium paid = Rs. 10 per contract
Case II : Reliance stock price less than strike price (700) on expiry day cut-off time i.e. 640
Net profit = (current price – strike price) - premium = (700-640
) -10= Rs. 50 per contract
So when you buy a put option you have unlimited profit potential
but limited risk or downside.

ReplyDeleteI have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article on option trading like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
