Uncovered put writing

A knowledgeable professor in finance would define a short put option as a position in which the writer does not hold a corresponding short position in the underlying security. This means that the writer has not deposited cash or cash equivalents equal to the exercise value of the put in a cash account. In simpler terms, this strategy is used to generate income from the premiums received without actually owning the underlying security.
