4y ago#1We bought a put and therefore it is our choice as to whether or not to exercise it (and we will only exercise it if we make a gain).
We sold a call, and therefore it is the person who bought it from us who decides whether or not to exercise it. They will exercise it if they will make a gain and if they do exercise it then it is us who will have to pay them (i.e. a loss to us).
This logic is used only in collars?
