Put option expires
- If you do nothing before the option expires, the put option you buy will become worthless and you will lose all the premium you paid previously. When you buy a put option, you make a profit if and only if the market value of the underlying stock falls. If the value of the stock remains at or above the strike price level, your put option is not profitable. Even if the stock drops a few points, the put option loses its time value as the expiration date approaches. Therefore, in order to maintain profits, you need the stock to fall enough points before the expiration to offset your original cost, and replace the time with the intrinsic value. value.

- If the current market value is much lower than your put option strike price, you have the right to sell your 100 shares at the higher strike price.

For example, if you think a stock looks like a long-term potential stock at first, you buy some stocks, but the financial situation changes later. If you have 1 corresponding put option for every 100 shares, then the put option is fulfilled, and selling the stock will keep your book profit, thereby releasing your long position in the stock.
