Long stock + short put options: How is this strategy called?

Well, it's not a short position either. I'm sure most would take "long stock" to mean long deltas.

 

no.

long x spot and short x-n calls.

 

Right, gotcha.

 

First off, I was not trying to berate anyone, just suggesting that these are 2 long positions, as Mr. Atticus has pointed out.

Secondly, if it came across that way, I'm apologize. If one of the traders in my group that I do research for was unclear on a concept, then I would certainly suggest that he get a liitle help on the trade.

I quoted the wrong post, sorry.Meant to quote Mr. deviltrader.

on the way down...boom...short put explodes...short calls don't

 

all strategies carry risk.

short calls when the underlying company is to be acquired at 50% premium from the previous day...boom.
