You can also sell in the money call options in anticipation the stock will go down. You keep the premium the call buyer pays. | ||

But to sell the calls, you should own the stock first. Puts can be bought w/o owning the stock. Granted, the put buyer pays the premium, so you don’t get guaranteed money in your pocket like you would selling calls. | ||
