What are Options?
An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) an underlying asset at a specified price (strike price) on or before a certain date (expiration date). The buyer pays a premium for this right.
Options are versatile instruments used for speculation, hedging, and income generation. A call option profits when the underlying asset rises above the strike price. A put option profits when the asset falls below the strike price. The maximum loss for an option buyer is always limited to the premium paid.
How Options Trading Works
When you buy a call option on Apple at a $200 strike price expiring in 30 days, you're paying a premium for the right to buy 100 shares of Apple at $200 each, regardless of where the stock trades. If Apple rises to $220, your option is worth at least $20 per share ($2,000 total) — a significant return on your premium investment. If Apple stays below $200, your maximum loss is just the premium you paid.
