Strategies that are bearish will have a negative delta. If a long call option has a 0. If a long put option has a 0. As you see above, buying a put is actually a bearish strategy. Selling a put is bullish.
When it comes to directional assumption with options, buying and selling are not synonymous with bullish and bearish like it is for stock purchases. Delta can also be used as a way to add, subtract or neutralize deltas from being long or short stock. Each share of stock is 1 delta, so shares of stock would equal positive deltas.
Some investors may want to adjust this exposure at certain times during the share ownership, and we can use options to do just that! A short call is a bearish strategy, and therefore has negative delta naturally.
Selling an out of the money OTM call with a delta of 0. We would now have a net delta of 0. We do cap my upside potential, but we reduce my loss potential if the stock price drops. If we wanted to completely neutralize my delta temporarily, we could sell two at the money ATM calls at a delta of 0. This would net the delta out to 0, but we would be taking on more risk as one of the short calls would be uncovered. Options can be a great way to fine tune directional exposure at any time.
