Option Strategies
The simple textbook definition is a buyer of a Put option has the right (but not the obligation) to sell a specified quantity of a security at a specified price (strike price) within a fixed period of time (expiration date).
Outright Put buying has almost unlimited upside with limited downside. Securities mostly don’t go below $0 (ahem…Crude oil) so most securities upside is capped by the $0 boundary. The downside of a Put buyer is limited to the premium they paid for that Put, same as a call buyer. A seller of a Put has the exact opposite risk profile as the Put buyer. The seller collects the premium paid for the Put, but also has that “unlimited” downside.
