It's the only question. I am not buying and selling an atm call...although that doesn't sound like a terrible strategy for income... In your scenario I would be buying @ 100 and selling a 118 call for example.
I was just about to ask the same question lol. The difference is how the position plays out. If I buy 1000 SHIT stock @ 25, and sell 1 30 call for .60 the I collect $600. If the stock gets called away I make an additional 5k in profits. If I sell 1 25 put then I collect the premium, but have no other profit potential.
Lol!!!!! Say WUT???? Dam Bro, that is one f-cked up example you gave.. Better edit it before Poopy reads that gem You are special
lolwut? 10 to 1? You're irredeemable. Truly. Buy 100 SHIT -> sell 1 30C <or> Sell 1 30P What's the difference?
And it's not quoting the 25P vs 30C. Equivalence. Same strike. My 20yo could explain this to lay-people after a 20 minute primer.
It is different lol because I'm not buying and then selling an ATM call. I know what you are trying to say that on a pnl chart +stock - call = - put
