When one sells a call option without owning the underlying stock or any equivalent security(convertible stock or bond or another call option), he is considered to have written an uncovered call option. This strategy has limited profit potential and theoretically unlimited loss.... since there is no actual cash investment required to write a naked call-the position can be financed with collateral loan value of marginable securities-the strategy can be operated as an adjunct to many other investment strategies.
