CHAPTER 1
|
||||
Definitions
|
||||
The successful implementation of various investment strategies necessitates a sound
|
||||
working knowledge of the fundamentals of options and option trading. The option
|
||||
strategist must be familiar with a wide range of the basic aspects of stock options
|
||||
how the price of an option behaves under certain conditions or how the markets
|
||||
function. A thorough understanding of the rudiments and of the strategies helps the
|
||||
investor who is not familiar with options to decide not only whether a strategy seems
|
||||
desirable, but also - and more important - whether it is suitable. Determining suit
|
||||
ability is nothing new to stock market investors, for stocks themselves are not suitable
|
||||
for every investor. For example, if the investor's primary objectives are income and
|
||||
safety of principal, then bonds, rather than stocks, would be more suitable. The need
|
||||
to assess the suitability of options is especially important: Option buyers can lose their
|
||||
entire investment in a short time, and uncovered option writers may be subjected to
|
||||
large financial risks. Despite follow-up methods designed to limit risk, the individual
|
||||
investor must decide whether option trading is suitable for his or her financial situa
|
||||
tion and investment objective.

ELEMENTARY DEFINITIONS
|
||||
A stock option is the right to buy or sell a particular stock at a certain price for a lim
|
||||
ited period of time. The stock in question is called the underlying security. A call
|
||||
option gives the owner ( or holder) the right to buy the underlying security, while a
|
||||
put option gives the holder the right to sell the underlying security. The price at
|
||||
which the stock may be bought or sold is the exercise price, also called the striking
|
||||
price. (In the listed options market, "exercise price" and "striking price" are synony
|
||||
mous.) A stock option affords this right to buy or sell for only a limited period of time;
