How can I use options to manage risk?
Options are versatile financial instruments and using them can help you manage risk and protect your investments better.
Hedging with options is a way to reduce potential losses while retaining the opportunity for gains. One common strategy is to buy a put option, which gives you the right, but not the obligation, to sell a stock at a specified price.
This will act as an insurance, limiting your downside risk if the stock price falls. Similarly, you can use call option to hedge short positions, ensuring you can buy the stock at a predetermined price even if its market value rises.
These strategies help you safeguard against large losses, stabilize portfolios, and navigate volatile markets more confidently.
