It is a risky options strategy where investors write (sell) call options on the open market without owning the underlying security. This is the opposite of covered call, where the investors own the security shares.
Risks are extreme that only expert investors believe that the price of the underlying stock will fall or remain flat should undertake this advanced strategy.
