What is the difference between an EFX covered call and a cash secured put?
A covered call needs you to already own 100 EFX shares and caps your upside at the strike. A cash secured put needs cash instead of shares and obliges you to buy EFX if it falls below the strike. Both collect premium up front; the covered call suits holders, the cash secured put suits buyers waiting for a lower entry.
