    Study Notes

    Hedging Against Price Rise

    • A long call option strategy is the best choice to hedge against an anticipated large rise in the price of an underlying asset.
    • This strategy allows investors to gain from increasing asset prices while limiting losses to the premium paid for the option.

    Selling Call and Put Options (Same Strike Price)

    • Involves buying a call option and selling a put option at the same strike price and expiration date.
    • Known as a synthetic long position, this strategy mimics holding the underlying asset.

    Buying Call and Selling Put Options (Different Strike Prices)

    • Involves buying a call option and selling a put option with different strike prices but the same expiration date.
    • This strategy can create a potential profit range while mitigating risks associated with the underlying asset's price movements.

    Selling Call and Put Options (Different Expiration Dates)

    • Involves buying a call option and selling a put option at the same strike price but with different expiration dates.
    • This approach allows traders to take advantage of time decay while maintaining positions aligned with anticipated market movements.
