Buying and Selling Options
An option is the right to buy or sell a specified stock at a specified price within a specified period of time. At the end of this period of time, the option contract expires. There are two types of options for you to choose from, known as Puts and Calls. A Put is an option to sell a stock. A Call is an option to buy a stock.
There are a few terms that you will need to know when investing in stock options:
- Expiration Date - the date that the option expires
- Intrinsic Value - what the option is worth as stock
- Exercise Price - the price at which the investor may buy or sell the underlying stock.
- Premium - the market price of the option.
Why invest in options? That is quite simple. The reason for investing in options is that options offer a far greater return than investing directly in stock. The reason for this increased return is that there is a much greater risk than investing in the stock itself. Our stock option 'calculator' illustrates this point.
