Options

• Options are complex and sophisticated investments
• Investors may choose to use two types of option contracts: calls and puts
• Each option contract type has a distinct function

 

Options are complex and sophisticated investments that give the holder the right or the obligation to buy or sell securities at a predetermined price within a set period of time.

There are two types of option contracts:

Calls

• Give the buyer the right to buy a specified amount of securities at a predetermined price.

• Give the seller the obligation to sell a specified amount of securities at a predetermined price.

Puts

• Give the buyer the right to sell a specified amount of securities at a predetermined price.
• Give the seller the obligation to buy a specified amount of securities at a predetermined price.
  
• Because of the complex nature of trading options, investors are required to read and sign a disclosure document before deciding if an option strategy is right for them.
