For example, the owner of a call has the option to buy the underlying stock from the writer of the call. However, if the writer does not own that stock the option is naked. When the holder decides to exercise his option, the writer will be forced to buy the stock on the open market, and then resell it at the lower strike price. This will result in a loss for the writer. For obvious reasons, writing naked options is risky and must be done in a margin account. Welcome to our Legal Directory
