The Sale of Put Options


The Sale of Put Options
An individual (or a company) has $100,000, which he would invest in common stocks. He could buy these stocks in the market or he could sell Put options in an attempt to acquire the stocks a few points below the current market price or to earn premiums from the sale of Put options against the money that he is willing to invest. For an example: With a stock selling at 50, a man (or a company) sells a Put option at 50 for 90 days, receiving a premium of $300 for each 100-share Put contract. For the $300-premium, which he receives at the time that he "makes" the Put contract, he agrees to buy 100 shares at 50 before expiration of the option if the holder of the option cares to deliver it to him.

Selling a Strap


Selling a Strap
The reverse of the Strip and, also, a cousin of the Straddle is the Strap. It is a form of option contract that was unknown a dozen years ago. It is merely a combination of a Put on 100 shares and Call on 200 shares. To make a comparison: if a Straddle—one Put and one Call—will bring a premium of $500, and a Strip will bring a premium of $700, a Strap will bring a premium of about $800. If the Calls are exercised, the seller of the Strap will have to sell 200 shares at 50, which price will be increased by the $800 premium to an average sale price of 54. However, if the market declines and the one Put is exercised, the maker of the Strap will have to take or buy 100 shares at 50, but this price will be reduced to 42 also by reason of the $800 premium which he received for the sale of the Strap.

Years Ago in the Options Market


Years Ago in the Options Market
It might be interesting to the reader at this point, after reading so much of the techniques of the option business, to know something of years ago. When I first came into the option business forty years ago, and up until about the time of the big break in 1929, the holder of an option could trade against it with no margin. His broker had to have coverage for just the commissions and interest and any market difference. Often I had Puts on 500 shares against which I would trade, back and forth, as many times as the swings in the market would allow; margin was not necessary because the option, guaranteed by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, was sufficient margin. Not so today, however. Today all stock commitments must be covered by the required margin and the option is not a substitute for such margin.
