  Nobody ever claimed they did, but it is an investment, with insurance. If you want something more financial a short vertical spread [0] is a strategy in which you are purchasing insurance on the risk (investment) you just took (made). There are many such investments of this form. [0] https://www.optionsplaybook.com/option-strategies/short-call-spread/ https://www.optionsplaybook.com/option-strategies/short-call...

    What? Shorting call spreads is not how most people would protect a position. Perhaps you're thinking of a collar? (short calls to fund puts?)

      I’m not saying people sell these for insurance. One of the two options in this spread IS insurance. A short call spread is someone selling calls (option A in the link) and buying insurance on said sale (option B in the link).
