The Bull Put Income Engine.
About Course
You’ve already mastered the Short Put, where you collect rent but accept the risk of owning the stock. Now, we are adding a “Safety Net.” The Bull Put Spread is the professional way to sell insurance while ensuring you never face a catastrophic loss.
The Bull Put Spread is a “Defined Risk” income strategy. It takes the high-probability nature of the short put and combines it with a protective floor. By buying a cheaper put option below the one you sell, you create a “spread” that caps your maximum loss at a specific dollar amount. This makes it the ultimate strategy for traders with smaller accounts or those who want to sleep soundly knowing their “worst-case scenario” is locked in before the trade even begins.
