Can we sell Call options we don’t own?
whoareyou100 asked:
I’m reading up on option strategies, and many requires the simultaneous act of selling and buying call/put options with different strikes or manturities. Buying the option is easy, but how can I sell the option if i dont already own it? And what do I do if still want to partake in the trade?

How does trading stock options work?
cornacopia16 asked:
For instance, can I simply trade the contract cost without ever having an obligation to the shares? For instance, let’s say I buy a call contract at $2.50 ($250.00) and the next day the stock rises and the same call contract is worth $2.55 ($255.00). Would I be able to sale the same call contact for the $2.55 with no other obligations even before the expiration? Does it also work that way with put options?
Thank you
