Definition of Combination

iunctura

[B132] "Combination is representation of the synthetic unity of the manifold". It is not present prior to synthesis in objects or our unsynthesized manifold of intuitions, and is [B135] "always an affair of the [spontaneous power of the faculty of] understanding alone". [B201] Kant divides all combination into composition and connection, and cites several modes of each type of combination (combination involves aggregation or coalition, which determine, respectively, extensive and intensive magnitudes; types of connection include dynamical, physical, and metaphysical).

Applies to derivative products. Arrangement of options involving two long or two short positions with different expiration dates or strike (exercise) prices. See: straddle.

A combination involves two different option positions and can take a variety of forms. You can buy both a call and a put on a given stock (if both are at the same strike price, this is known as a straddle; if at different strike prices this is known as a strangle), or you can also use options in conjunction with stock. For example, in a covered combination, you sell a covered call against stock you own, while also selling a put below the current price of the stock. This allows you to enhance your total returns in flat to up markets, while allowing you to buy more stock at lower prices and effectively lower your net cost to acquire the stock.
