Option Fundamentals

Options are financial derivatives that give buyers the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call options) or sell (put options) an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a specific time frame.

  • Call Options: Right to buy at a specific price (strike price)
  • Put Options: Right to sell at a specific price (strike price)
  • Expiration Date: The date when the option contract becomes void
  • Premium: The price paid for the option contract
