You could do a lot with them…ride them, buy them, take in the cash, speculate, use them as insurance…I was fascinated and completely hooked. What is an option anyway? An “option” gives you the right to buy or sell a market at a certain price (called the striking point) for a certain period of time (called the expiration date). If you buy an option, you must pay the premium (the cost of an option). If you are buying a call option, you are anticipating that the value of the stock is going up. If you are buying a put option, you anticipate the market going down. Buying a Call Here’s an example…you are looking at Apple, and it’s trading at $150 per share. If you buy a call option, you are buying the right to purchase the Apple stock for a set amount of time (let’s say 90 days), and you will be charged a $5 premium. You get the right, not the obligation, to purchase 100 shares of Apple at $150, that’s the striking price, for $5 x 100 shares…so $500 is your risk. That is what you will pay to leverage $15,000 Apple stock ($150 x100, right?)
