XYZ Bull Put Spread

A bull put spread involves selling a put at a higher strike price and buying a put at a lower strike price. This strategy is used when the trader is bullish on the stock and wants to own it at a predetermined price. If the stock price is between the strike prices at expiration, the short put will be exercised, and the long put will be worthless. The trader can then take ownership of the stock at the lower strike price. If the stock price falls below the lower strike price, the trade will result in a loss.
