Options Fundamentals

Options give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a stock at a specific price.

Calls vs Puts

  • Call Option: Right to buy at the strike price
  • Put Option: Right to sell at the strike price

Key Terms

Strike price, expiration date, premium, and implied volatility are essential concepts every options trader must understand.

Warning: Options are complex instruments. Start with paper trading before risking real capital.
