Married Put Strategy

Married Put Strategy - Married Put Strategy is the different terms for a strategy, but the old timers refer to it as a married put strategy. Married puts strategy refers to the combination of two different purchases, that of a stock you wish to own and of a put option on the same underlying stock. The term married is because both transactions have to be simultaneously, in the same day, and you must tell your broker that the stock you must buy delivered. You cannot use the married put strategy on every stock you buy with the cost of the option and extra commissions.
