Covered Combination Option Strategy-Bullish Strategy

Covered-Combination-Option-Strategy

Explanation

A covered combination also known as covered combos is an investment strategy that entails selling an out-of-the-money (OTM) call and an out-of-the-money (OTM) put with the same expiry and purchasing the real commodity in cash or futures. Investors who use this technique may earn an extra income by selling both the call and the put. Because the gains are limited and the risk is theoretically limitless, it is also known as a Covered Strangle.
