core-block">Should you or should you not learn how to buy put options? Why? How?</p><p class="block core-block">You’d buy a put option if you expect the price of an underlying security to fall. When you buy put options, you’re betting that, at the time your contract expires, the price of an underlying stock will go down. This gives you the opportunity to sell shares of that security at a price higher than the market value, which earns you a profit. You limit your risk of loss by paying a premium to the seller of the put.</p><div class="lazyload-wrapper "><div class="min-h-[300px] md:min-h-[186px] my-4"><div class="w-full min-h-[inherit]"><div class="w-full h-full min-h-[inherit] flex items-center justify-center mx-auto rounded-md border border-gray-300 p-4 shadow"><div class="flex flex-col md:flex-row animate-pulse w-full gap-4"><div class="icon-wrapper flex items-center justify-center mx-6"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="w-16 h-16 text-gray-400" fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 640 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M480 80C480 35.82 515.8 0 560 0C604.2 0 640 35.82 640 80C640 124.2 604.2 160 560 160C515.8 160 480 124.2 480 80zM0 456.1C0 445.6 2.964 435.3 8.551 426.4L225.3 81.01C231.9 70.42 243.5 64 256 64C268.5 64 280.1 70.42 286.8 81.01L412.7 281.7L460.9 202.7C464.1 196.1 472.2 192 480 192C487.8 192 495 196.1 499.1 202.7L631.1 419.1C636.9 428.6 640 439.7 640 450.9C640 484.6 612.6 512 578.9 512H55.91C25.03 512 .0006 486.1 .0006 456.1L0 456.1z"></path></svg></div><div class="paragraphs-wrapper w-full"><div class="flex-1 space-y-6 py-1"><div class="h-3 rounded bg-gray-300"></div><div class="space-y-3"><div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4"><div class="col-span-2 h-2 rounded bg-gray-300"></div><div class="col-span-1 h-2 rounded bg-gray-300"></div></div><div class="h-2 rounded bg-gray-300"></div><div class="h-2 rounded bg-gray-300"></div><div class="h-2 rounded bg-gray-300"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="sc-ftuRJG eXnPuT bz3_border_box_container table"><div class="bz3_border_box_wrapper p-4 w-auto bg-white"><div class="bz3_table_content_title"><div class="font-semibold text-gray-900 text-left flex items-center justify-between"><div class="flex items-center justify-between gap-3"><div class="fa-list"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="leading-none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1" style="height:1em;width:1em" viewBox="0 0 512 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M64 64a32 32 0 1 0 0 64 32 32 0 1 0 0-64zm120 8c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24H488c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24s-10.7-24-24-24H184zm0 160c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24H488c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24s-10.7-24-24-24H184zm0 160c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24H488c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24s-10.7-24-24-24H184zM96 256a32 32 0 1 0 -64 0 32 32 0 1 0 64 0zM64 384a32 32 0 1 0 0 64 32 32 0 1 0 0-64z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></div>Table of Contents</div></div></div><div class="bz3_table_content_list"><ul class="bz3_table_content_ul list-disc text-blue-200 ml-4 mt-2"><li><a href="#how-to-buy-put-options" title="How to Buy Put Options">How to Buy Put Options</a></li><li><a href="#pros-to-buying-put-options" title="Pros to Buying Put Options">Pros to Buying Put Options</a></li><li><a href="#cons-to-buying-put-options" title="Cons to Buying Put Options">Cons to Buying Put Options</a></li><li class="see-all">See All 6 Items</li></ul></div></div></div><h2 class="block core-block" id="how-to-buy-put-options">How to Buy Put Options</h2><p class="block core-block">Traders buy a put option to increase profit from a stock’s decline. One option is referred to as a contract, and it represents 100 shares of the underlying stock. Read on to learn about put options and how to buy them.</p><h3 class="block core-block" id="options-brokerage">Options Brokerage</h3><p class="block core-block">Put options can be bought through brokerages like TradeStation, TD Ameritrade, Robinhood and more. Since options are financial instruments similar to bonds or stocks, they can be traded in the same manner. However, the process of buying put options is quite different, since they are a contract on underlying securities, rather than buying the securities outright.</p><p class="block core-block">Zero trading commissions are just the tip of the iceberg when choosing an options brokerage. Consider other hidden fees, including data fees and platform fees. Different traders have different trading strategies, needs and skill levels.</p><p class="block core-block">You may want to identify a platform that has plenty of guidance and educational resources if you’re a rookie trader. On the other hand, look for pro-grade features and research if you’re a seasoned trader.

Strike Price</h3><p class="block core-block">The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/strike-price-options">strike price of a put option</a> is the price at which you can sell your underlying securities. With a put option, the buyer has a right to sell 100 shares of stock at the strike price — before expiration. Choosing the strike price is 1 of 2 crucial decisions you need to make. The other is the expiration date.</p><p class="block core-block">In practice, there are standard strike prices for securities with the active options market. The most-often traded options have strike prices in $5 increments — $15, $20, $25, etc.</p><p class="block core-block">There are a few important concepts to know when you choose a strike price:</p><ul class="block core-block"><li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/in-the-money">In the money</a></strong>: If your put option expires in the money, it means the strike price is above the current stock price. The option holder can purchase shares from the market and exercise the option to sell the shares at a higher price.</li><li><strong>At the money</strong>: This concept indicates that the strike price and current stock price are the same.</li><li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/out-of-the-money">Out of the money</a></strong>: If a put option expires out of the money, the set strike price is below the stock price. The option holder can’t exercise the option and make a profit. However, this doesn’t make an out-of-the-money option entirely worthless. Stock prices are dynamic, so an out-of-the-money could easily turn into an in-the-money option as prices change. </li></ul><p class="block core-block">You could also take advantage of the fact that out-of-the-money options aren’t typically exercised and sell them to anyone looking to bet on the movement of a security. This way, you may earn some income by collecting the premium paid for those options.</p><h3 class="block core-block" id="choose-expiration-date">Choose Expiration Date</h3><p class="block core-block">Your trading style should guide your choice of expiration date. It sets the timeframe for when you can buy or exercise the options contract, therefore, fulfilling your obligation. Expiration dates may range from weeks to months to years. Daily and weekly put options are risky and best suited for experienced options traders. <a href="https://financialsuccess.fsu.edu/investing-and-insurance/understanding-short-term-and-long-term-investments">Long-term investors</a> can choose monthly or yearly expiration dates since they give your stock more time to move.</p><p class="block core-block">If you’re an options owner, here are 4 actions you may take regarding the expiration date:</p><ul class="block core-block"><li><strong>Sell it before the expiration date. </strong>The value of options changes daily and is driven by the underlying stock price. This value is reflected in the premium and you can decide to sell your option before its expiration date. The difference between how much you’re selling it and how much you paid for it is your loss or gain.</li><li><strong>Exercise it before the expiration date. </strong>You can exercise American style options any time before their expiration.</li><li><strong>Let it exercise automatically.</strong> Your brokerage may have a policy of exercising your options automatically if they expire and are in the money. Check your brokerage’s specific procedures and policies.</li><li><strong>Let the contract expire for $0 value.</strong> Your option contract is worthless if it expires out of the money.</li></ul><h3 class="block core-block" id="decide-how-many-contracts">Decide How Many Contracts</h3><p class="block core-block">Each options contract represents 100 shares of a particular stock. You’ll also pay a premium for each contract to the seller. Depending on your brokerage’s fees and commission structure, you might also pay a per-contract fee. Your contract size will depend on how much money is available in your brokerage wallet as well as how much you’re willing to risk.</p><p class="block core-block">You’ll then use your brokerage’s trading platform to buy the options contracts you’ve chosen. Go through any resources available on your broker’s website to ensure you’re doing everything right.</p><h3 class="block core-block" id="watch-stock-prices">Watch Stock Prices</h3><p class="block core-block">After buying your options contracts, you’ll play a waiting game. Monitor stock prices to see if they move in the direction you predicted when you bought them. Most brokerages let you set alerts to notify you when stocks move below a certain price. You can exercise your options contract at any time prior to its expiration date.</p><h2 class="block core-block" id="pros-to-buying-put-options">Pros to Buying Put Options</h2><p class="block core-block">Put options offer several advantages:</p><ul class="block core-block"><li><strong>A lower upfront financial commitment: </strong>The price of buying a put option is much less than what you would pay to buy shares outright.</li><li><strong>Limited risk: </strong>Buying a put option gives you unlimited potential profit while limiting the maximum risk to the price premium paid for an option. Similarly, an options seller has unlimited risk and profits by the amount of option premium collected.</li><li><strong>Leverage:</strong> Options buying lets you control a bigger stock position with less capital compared to buying the stock directly.</li><li><strong>Flexibility:</strong> When investing in stocks, you can only trade 2 directions — either up or down. Buying and selling options, however, offers a broader range of market conditions to trade.</li><li><strong>Income generation:</strong> Traders buy put options to help generate income. Various options strategies could also be used to allow you to collect option premiums.</li><li><strong>Hedging:</strong> If you have a portfolio of stocks, buying put options can help mitigate risk in case of a market downturn.</li></ul><h2 class="block core-block" id="cons-to-buying-put-options">Cons to Buying Put Options</h2><p class="block core-block">On the flip side, consider the following cons:</p><ul class="block core-block"><li><strong>Time:</strong> Put options have a time value that’s constantly decaying. You must be in the money — by expiration date — to profit.</li><li><strong>Leverage swings both ways:</strong> Although this is an advantage if you are correct, option trades can take a massive hit when you’re wrong.</li><li><strong>Additional costs can affect your profits: </strong>Some trading strategies may require you to set up a margin account to act as collateral should a trade move against your predictions.</li></ul><h2 class="block core-block" id="how-to-choose-the-best-broker-for-you">How to Choose the Best Broker for You</h2><p class="block core-block">How do you buy put options? How many contracts should you buy? Depending on the amount of support you need, you can choose either a discount or full-service broker.</p><p class="block core-block">Low commissions are just a fraction of what you need to consider when choosing the best broker for options trading. Consider your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/trading-strategies-that-work">trading style</a> as well as the features that are important in maximizing your profits. Research <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-brokers-for-options-traders">multiple brokerages</a> to better understand the services offered by each. Online reviews may have information to consider if you can’t get a personal recommendation.</p><h2 class="block core-block" id="learn-more-about-options-trading">Learn More About Options Trading</h2><p class="block core-block">Options trading isn’t as straightforward as stock trading. There’s a lot to educate yourself about. Watch tutorial videos, take lessons, download books and track the world news. If you’re a rookie trader, seek guidance from an experienced trader or mentor as you learn how to buy put options.</p><p class="block core-block">Whether you’re just getting started or you’re an experienced investor looking to explore, the skills needed to profit from options trading must be continually developed. With practice, you’ll get a better grasp of options trading concepts, better understand how to manage trading risks and learn to modify your trading strategies.
