If you are referring to my post - what terms I like or don't like is quite irrelevant to my investment decisions, and should be as irrelevant to yours. What I did is I attempted to analyze the conclusions we might draw from a simplistic analogy, or the lack of them.C,
Clearly you don't like the term selling insurance. Fine.
Please explain why a put is purchased?
A put might be useful in particular idiosyncratic circumstances of an investor, and yes you could say it "insures" the portfolio against a greater loss than the strike price. That is trivial; but as pointed out in the foregoing part of the thread, this has little to nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
