I am undertanding this a little better but i would like to confirm the following . i feel that when you are talking about selling a call option or seeling a put option you are the actual writer of that option whether it is a put or call. i think this will explain the difference better as people get confused when you mention selling the put or call as they might think that you have to own the shares first etc. But i wanted to make sure i was correct. Anyone can sell a put or a call and if they do they are the writer of that option and are obligated to deliver what they have written as they have received a fee . How do you deliver something though if you dont own the undrlying share. So im a little confused in that area still. Cold you help exlpain Cheers shaun hi james.
