In this episode you will learn:
- A covered call is used to generate income on a long stock position, but it caps the potential upside gain.
- A protective put acts like insurance for a long stock position, providing downside protection while allowing for unlimited potential gain.
- A collar combines a protective put with a covered call to provide downside protection at a reduced cost, but it also limits upside potential.
- A cash-secured put is a strategy used to acquire stock at a price below its current market value by selling a put option and setting aside the cash to purchase the shares.
- How to calculate breakeven, maximum gain, and maximum loss for each of these core Series 7 options strategies.
