US Stock Options

A stock option is a financial contract between a buyer and a seller, which buyer and seller has the right to buy or sell the underlying stocks at a pre-determined price (strike price) on or before the expiry date. After the expiry day of that exercise period, the option can no longer be traded or exercised.

There are two main types of stock options: Call Options and Put Options. A call option buyer has the right to buy the underlying stock at the strike price on or before the expiry date, while a put option buyer has the right to sell the underlying stock at the strike price on or before the expiry date. Investors can choose to buy call options (known as Long Call) or to sell call options (known as Short Call); or to buy put options (known as Long Put) or to sell put options (known as Short Put).
