Re: [ConservativeOptionStrategies] Re: Covered calls with collars

 

Thanks, DrJoe, but just to clarify....I understand the Long & Short Puts.  What I dont understand, given the context of the original question, is that a standalone position, or is there also a covered call position in IWM as well?
 
Thanks in advance.
