Nov 21, 2019 at 2:28 comment added Bob Baerker +1 for the extremely thorough answer. I would have made mention of two things. (1) There's a 'deductible' when you have long put insurance for a portfolio. It's the distance to strike (if the put is OTM) plus the cost of the put.. That total is your risk. (2) If the underlying collapses, you can roll long puts down, lowering cost basis if you want to retain the stock (and the short call if it's a collar). This will be at the expense of delta, somewhat increasing your 'deductible' .

Mar 30, 2017 at 18:40 comment added rajah9 Thank you, @Andrew. I will add that all of these strategies (save the Short and Ultra-short ETFs) require a margin agreement, an options agreement, or both.
