• PURCHASED PUT
  
  Is a bearish strategy. It confers the right but not the obligation to exercise the contract into a short position in the underlying instrument. The risk is limited to the premium paid, and the reward is theoretically considered to be limited to the difference between the strike less a zero market price.
