Chapter 06 · Section 6.1

Short a Put

You are short a put. You have:

a) sold a put with the intent to purchase it back in the future.
• b) sold a put you had in inventory.
  No. Selling a put which you had in inventory would leave you with a zero net options position. The two would cancel each other out.
  c) bought a put in the open market.
  d) bought back a put you had sold previously.
  e) bought back a put you had sold previously.
