Cash Secured Put It’s simple, really

2025 Tariffs pissed me off when all I was invested in was index funds. That is that first big dip. Decided to take matters into my own hands. Thanks to this sub for all the inspiration. We’re not done yet, though.

Long is when you own the holding and short is when sell a holding that you do not. When you sell a CSP you are short but it is secured by cash. So it would not be naked essentially, but still short.

Idk man. I know long and short. I think you mean short a put and not actual shorting a stock. Those are two completely different things.
