    Hi John!

    Hope you’re doing well.

    My first question out of the many that I might ask over the next few days is simple,#

    whats the difference between options and collars?

    The only difference I can see is that you can sell collars but you cant sell options.

    First you don’t sell collars !!!!

    If you are borrowing money, then you can buy a put option in order to fix a maximum interest rate.

    A collar is where you buy a put option and sell a call option in order to fix a maximum and a minimum interest rate (and as a result save on the cost of the premium).

    You must watch my free lectures on this – I explain it all in detail, with examples. Not only is there far too much to explain here, but you cannot expect me to type out all my lectures 🙂
