Covered straddle

A Straddle constructed on shares of stock already owned by the holder. A Covered straddle consists of writing a Call and a Put with the same strike price and expiration against stocks that the holder Own. A Covered straddle is not a true covered Position, since Assignment for the short Put would actually require additional stock.
