If the stock's price remains steady or rises, the naked writer will not have stock "put to him" and will of course keep the premium from the put option written. 3, record 2, English, - uncovered%20put

Un investisseur vend à titre de vendeur initial une option de vente découverte parce qu'il pense que le cours de la valeur sous option ne baissera pas pendant la durée de validité de l'option. Si le cours de l'action ne change pas ou monte, le vendeur initial découvert ne recevra pas d'assignation et, par conséquent, gardera la prime sur l'option de vente qu'il a vendue. 3, record 2, French, - option%20de%20vente%20d%C3%A9couverte
