In finance, a put or put option is a stock market instrument which gives the holder (i.e. the purchaser of the put option) the right to sell an asset (the underlying), at a specified price (the strike), by (or at) a specified date (the expiry or maturity) to the writer (i.e. seller) of the put.

Put Writing. Put writing is a family of options trading strategies that involve the selling of put options to earn premiums.One can either write a covered put or a naked put.Utilising a combination of covered puts and naked puts, one can also implement the ratio put write, which is a neutral strategy.

If you are not already short the underlying stock, meaning you wrote a naked put write, then you will end up buying the stocks sold at the strike price of the put options (because you gave the holder of the put options the right to sell to you the options at the strike price). Now, if you do not have enough cash to buy the stock position, your broker would usually just close the whole position.
This lets you pocket the premiums received and write some more put options. Should the stock price take a dive and goes below the put strike price, you can either follow through with your obligation and pickup the stock or you can buy back the put options at a loss. The decision you make will depend on whether your outlook towards the underlying stock has changed since taking up the position.
Most traders do not exercise put options (or convert into a short futures position), rather they chose to close a put option position before it expires. One can also sell (or write) put options. A short position in a put option exposes the option seller to unlimited risk.
The person buying the put option hopes the price of the underlying stock will go down, and the person who sold that person that right is hoping the price will stay the same or go up. If the owner of the put option is going to exercise it and sell the stock at the strike price, they have to be selling it to someone, right? That person that they are selling it to is, of course, buying the stock.
