As soon as the “Buy” button is pushed, the investor gains expo-
|
||||
sure to the upside potential of the stock—this is the shaded region la-
|
||||
beled “green” in the figure. However, at the same time, the investor
|
||||
also must accept exposure to downside risk—this is the shaded region
|
||||
labeled “red. ”
|
||||
Anyone who has invested in stocks has a visceral understanding of
|
||||
stock directionality. We all know the joy of being right as our investment
|
||||
soars into the green and we’ve all felt the sting as an investment we own
|
||||
falls into the red. We also know that to the extent that we want to gain
|
||||
exposure to the upside potential of a stock, we must necessarily simultane-
|
||||
ously accept its downside risk.
|
||||
Options, like stocks, are directional instruments that come in two
|
||||
types. These two types can be defined in directional terms:
|
||||
Call option A security that allows an investor exposure to a stock’s
|
||||
upside potential (remember, “Call up”)
|
||||
Put option A security that allows an investor exposure to a stock’s
|
||||
downside potential (remember, “Put down”)
|
||||
The fact that options split the directionality of stocks in half—up and
|
||||
down—is a great advantage to an investor that we will investigate more in
|
||||
a moment.
|
||||
Right now, let’s take a look at each of these directional instruments—
|
||||
call options and put options—one by one.
