Selling Put Explained

This episode text offers a comprehensive look at the strategy of selling put options, particularly as a tool for value investors. It explains the mechanics of a put option trade, where a seller receives a premium for agreeing to buy a stock at a specific price if the option buyer exercises their right. The sources highlight the dual benefits for value investors: generating income through premiums and acquiring shares of desired companies at potentially discounted prices. They emphasize the importance of using cash-secured puts for risk management and integrating the strategy with fundamental stock selection, intrinsic valuation, and setting a margin of safety when choosing strike prices. The text also examines influencing factors like time decay and implied volatility and discusses key risks, including the obligation to buy a declining stock and opportunity cost, using real-world examples like Warren Buffett's use of puts.
