PUTS-- A put option gives its owner the right to SELL the underlying security at a specific price for a limited period of time. Buyers of put options generally are bearish, expecting the price of the underlying asset to fall prior to the option's stated expiration date. Conversely, sellers of puts usually are bullish, expecting the price of the underlying asset to rise--or, at least remain stable--through the option's expiration date. However, there might be other reasons for selling puts based on the objectives of certain strategies, such as lowering the cost basis on an intended eventual purchase of the underlying stock.
