just about right. the thing i would add is that on a non dividend paying stock a 100 call is worth more than a 100 dollar put with the stock at 100. the difference is the interest on 100 till expiration. a more complete explanation can be found in some of the options texts and i will try to dig them out.

so let me put it this way.

investor a buys the underlying for 100 and sells a 100 call for 6.

investor b shorts a 100 put for 5 with the underlying at 100.

same expiration date in both cases.

they are in the same boat.

regards
