Based on this discussion of naked call writing, I don't understand why naked call writing isn't merely a substitute for shorting a security. Is there something about the liquidity of options vs. stock that presents risk? It seems to me that the premium and the expiration could benefit the seller, while the downside of being short stock or a short call is equal.
