Naked call

A naked call is the offer of a call option for a security that's not owned. If the security's trading price changes such that the exercise price on the option represents an attractive investment, the option seller may have to buy the shares on the open market and sell them at a loss to the option holder. For this reason, selling naked call options is a very risky strategy.
