Sell Call (29 Hedging strategies By Vinay Bhandari)
* Selling or “Going Short” on a Call is a strategy that must be devised when the investor is not so bullish on the market. On selling a Call, the investor earns a Premium (from the buyer of the Call).
* This position offers limited profit potential and the possibility of large losses on big advances in underlying prices. Although easy to execute it is a risky strategy since the seller of the Call is exposed to unlimited risk.
* Investor View: Very Bearish on the Stock / Index.
* Reward: Limited to the premium received. Breakeven: Strike Price + premium received.
