An options trading strategy designed to protect an investor from drastic drops in the price of a stock. The investor, while holding a long position on a stock, purchases an at-the-money put option of the same stock to protect themselves against depreciation in the stock price. This means that the investor can only lose a limited amount of money but still is able to reap gains from price appreciation. The downside is that a premium must be paid on the put option, which is typically significant.
