bear put spread

B.

bull call spread

C.

short straddle

D.

short naked call

Answer: The Best Answer is B

Rationale: A bull call spread is profitable in a rising market. A bear put spread is profitable in a falling market, as is a short naked call. A short straddle is profitable in a flat market.

Which of the following strategies has unlimited loss potential?

A.

long stock/short call

B.

long stock/long put

C.

short stock/long call

D.

short stock/short put

Answer: The Best Answer is D

Rationale: With a long stock position, the maximum loss is the value of the stock. With a short stock position, the potential loss is unlimited. If a long call is purchased against a short stock position, the upside loss is limited. If a short put is sold against a short stock position the upside loss is still unlimited since in a rising market the short put will expire "out the money." The short stock position must be covered by purchasing the stock at the higher market price - and the price can rise an infinite amount.

The sale of covered calls is used to:

A.

hedge a long stock position in a falling market

B.

protect a short stock position in a falling market

C.

D.

profit if the market drops

Answer: The Best Answer is C

excess of premium over the underlying security’s market price

B.

D.

maximum potential gain on a contract

Answer: The Best Answer is C

Rationale: Intrinsic value is the amount by which an option contract is "in the money." It is the difference between the market price and exercise price if exercise is profitable to the holder.

Answer: The Best Answer is B
