Prior to exchange-listed
options, most stock
investors who thought
XYZ was going to
decline simply made
sure they liquidated
any long positions
in the stock before
either:
- Returning to the sidelines to watch and wait, or
- SELLING XYZ short (few investors viewed this as an alternative).
Options Strategies
Equity options
offer the stock
investor numerous
bearish strategies
with various costs
and risk/reward
profiles. Depending
on the stock investor's
near-term outlook
for XYZ, an Options
Strategy can be
designed to:
- Establish a bearish position with limited risk,
- Lower both the cost and risk of implementing the opinion, and/or
- Profit from a sideways to down trading range by either premium decay or accumulating XYZ at lower prices.
