In this beginner-friendly guide, we’ll explore how traders can potentially profit when a stock declines by using a long put option. With current market conditions providing context for why some investors may be leaning bearish, we’ll break down exactly how a long put works - from contract specifications to strike price selection and expiration. Using a real-time stock example, we’ll walk through the mechanics of the trade, including the maximum potential loss and the theoretical profit potential. Along the way, we’ll discuss how changes in price and time can influence the value of the put.

We’ll also examine what happens if the option is held all the way to expiration, including outcomes if the contract finishes in the money or out of the money. Finally, we’ll apply everything we’ve discussed by planning and placing an example long put trade, step by step, to demonstrate how a trader might evaluate risk, define objectives, and execute the strategy in a thoughtful, disciplined way.

Each of these weekly webcasts is carefully structured to help new option traders along the leverage learning curve. Your education coach will introduce you to options terminology, clarify the common opportunities and risks, and explain the associated rights and obligations to help you become more confident with your understanding of options trading.

Options carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Certain requirements must be met to trade options through Schwab. Please read the Options Disclosure Document titled "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options" before considering any option transaction.
