If you're not on Robinhood you can do covered puts too

How does a covered put work? Do you sell the shares first and then buy them back later?

called a cash-secured put. Selling a put means you'll have an obligation to buy those shares at the strike price if it expires and you get assigned. If you want to get fancy you can then take those shares you were assigned and sell covered calls on them. That's called the wheel.

He's talking about a short sale-covered put.
Just like long shares cover a short call, short shares cover a short put.
That's why you can't do it on Robinhood, since they don't allow short selling.

The fact they don’t allow That means they know the kind of power that is the retail trader Lmfaoo

I assume, given shorts have limitless* loss potential, and hood is aimed towards teens and low income peeps, it's a bad mix.

No, same as selling a regular put but you have shares instead of cash as collateral
