# LPO

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGzlPxs_Umg>" %}

Long PUT OPerps a.k.a. LPO tokens represent buying of PUT options and make money in falling markets. LPO holders pay fix premium in a [settlement cycle](/operps/settlement.md) in return for gaining leveraged exposure to fall in the underlying price.  In following example, <mark style="color:yellow;">LPO holders make 50% profit for just 1% fall in underlying price</mark>. Higher the [leverage](/operps/leverage.md), more is the profit for same premium paid.

> Token holdings are automatically rolled over to the next cycle unless sold
