Should We Short a Put to Help Fund a Collar Trade?

When we add a protective put to a covered-call trade, we now have a collar trade, explains Alan Ellman of The Blue Collar Investor.

This podcast evaluates the impact of selling a put to help fund the protective put. Pros and cons are analyzed using Nvidia Corp. (NVDA).
