So do you short the stock when you sell the put? If you play simple put and call options you dfo no shorting. On the put , you would buy a put for $x and if the stock dropped in price, the put becomes more valuable and you simply offer it for sale. Think of the put item or call item as a stock. Your call increases in price if the stock goes up and the put increases in value if the stock goes down. If one chooses, options strategies can get very sophisticated like doing straddles and on and on but that would be for sophisticated option traders and I am certainly not that although I have done simple straddles. Simple buying of puts and calls is straightforward like warrants.

OT Summer is here, the Gulf is relatively calm (at least for a bit), I've iced the career for a few months, and its about time to bore the crap out of everyone with travel pics -- let me know, Dave, if you don't want them linked here. This year we hope to get as far as Belize, but when one sails you never know where the weather and seas(to say nothing of the ladies) will end up taking you! As a added bonus, we will have my daughter along (in addition to my son, who naturally follows us everywhere) and various friends of hers that we will meet up with along the way. As we get prepared to leave, I thought a small teaser of things to come might be appropriate. I offer up the following for your consideration: 1. Getting the rust out recently on a quick business trip to San Francisco ... it was the first time to pilot a square-rigged ship for my wife, but it was all good. members.cox.net 2. Don't you just love a woman who can clean out your bilge? Wives like this don't grow on trees, you know! members.cox.net 3. And for making it this far, I'm sure the waters will be as warm and inviting this year as they were last! members.cox.net More to come as we get ready to set sail.
