Cash Secured Put

A cash secured put is a strategy where an investor sells a put option while keeping enough cash in their account to buy the stock if assigned. This limits the risk compared to naked selling.

It is often used to enter a stock position at a lower price than current market levels. The premium collected reduces the effective cost basis of the potential purchase.

It is a conservative option strategy.
