What cash secured put is
- You sell a put option on a stock you're willing to own.
- You collect a premium upfront—your maximum profit if the option expires worthless.
- If the stock falls below the strike at expiration, you may be assigned and must buy 100 shares per contract at the strike price (effective cost = strike – premium).
- You keep enough cash to cover the potential purchase, hence "cash-secured."
Typical uses:
- Income generation: earn regular premium income.
- Buying at a discount: get assigned shares at an effective lower price.
What covered call is
- You already own the stock and sell a call option against it ("covered").
- You collect a premium upfront as income.
- If the stock stays below the strike, the call expires worthless and you keep both shares and premium.
- If the stock rises above the strike, you sell at that price (capping upside) but still keep the premium.
Typical uses:
- Income generation: earn option premiums while holding shares.
- Exit strategy: sell at a target price while generating extra income.
Strategy Notes
- Focus on higher probabilities for safer trades.
- Monitor implied volatility—higher IV means richer premiums but greater price swings.
