Not quite the same
If you are buying a CALL, then you have UNLIMITED upside potential... if you are shorting a PUT then the MAX you can make is the difference between the price of the PUT and zero.
For example - I short a put that is $5. And let's say that the PUT expires worth zero. The MOST I will make is that $5.
But if I buy a call for $5... then the MAX I will make is whatever the potential upside is for the BO of the particular movie. Does that make sense?
This isn't to discourage you from shorting PUTS - lots of times it's easy money. You just want to adjust your expectations accordingly as the upside can be limited.
Is buying calls the same as shorting puts? What's the difference, if any? {nm} Dec 27, 11:24
