What Is a Put Option?
A put option is a contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell–or sell short–a specified amount of an underlying security
A put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying stock decreases. Conversely, a put option loses its value as the underlying stock increases. When they are exercised, put options provide a short position in the underlying asset. Because of this, they are typically used for hedging purposes or to speculate on downside price action
