    thats a ratio synthetic covered call.
     
  3. That's a naked long position, short puts are a long position. To hedge you either buy puts, or sell calls against long stock.

  10. Thanks Don

    I'm not looking to hedge now, rather to have a bullish/neutral strategy.

    I swing trade, so I can get out rather quickly to avoid/minimize the downside risk, just want to give the long stock a little boost during bullish/slightly bullish markets.
