Lesson 7.3: Using Options for Hedging and Speculation

Michael Gustin July 5, 2023

Options can be used both for hedging (i.e., protecting against price movements in other positions) and for speculation (i.e., betting on price movements). For example, a put option can be used to hedge against a potential fall in the price of a stock that you own, while a call option can be used to speculate on a potential increase in the price of a stock.
