| rickyagrawal | long position represents the buyer of the option whereas short positon represents the writer of the option |
| Done | Why could he not have a LONG position in an identical put option? |
| sunilcfa | that will not set off his obligation |
| aakash1108 | @ Done. If he takes a LONG position in an identical put option - he will open another "option" instead of closing a LONG CALL. ....hope this clears. |

| jonan203 | when you trade options you: buy to open sell to close sell to open buy to close or, in this case: sell call to open buy call to close |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
