Maybe that's what it's called, but it has significantly more leverage and you can protect up to the spread between the two calls. Looks cheaper than just going short. What am I missing?

Which in options lingo is called as a "synthetic short", the premium from selling calls supports buying puts.


What if the issue moves up?
