Short Call
A short call is a strategy where an investor sells a call option they do not necessarily own. The seller receives the premium but takes on the obligation to sell the underlying asset if assigned.
This strategy has significant risk if the stock price rises substantially. It is typically used by traders who expect the underlying asset to remain stable or decline.
It involves selling the right to buy.
