+4  •   The Intelligent Option Investor
+intelligent option investor without understanding these basic facts. The 
+concepts discussed here will be covered in greater detail and depth later in 
+this book. For now, it is enough to get a sense for what options are, how to 
+think about them, and why they might be useful investment tools.
+Characteristics and History
+By the end of this section, you should know the four key characteristics 
+of options, be able to name a few options that are common in our daily 
+lives, and understand a bit about the long history of options as a financial 
+product and how modern option markets operate.
+Jargon introduced in this section is as follows:
+Black-Scholes-Merton model (BSM)
+Listed look-alike
+Central counterparty
+Characteristics of Options
+Rather than giving a definition for options, I’ll list the four most important 
+characteristics that all options share and provide a few common examples. 
+Once you understand the basic characteristics of options, have seen a few 
+examples, and have spent some time thinking about them, you will start to 
+see elements of optionality in nearly every situation in life.
+An option
+1. Is a contractual right
+2. Is in force for a specified time 
+3. Allows an investor to profit from the change in value of another 
+asset
+4. Has value as long as it is still in force
+This definition is broad enough that it applies to all sorts of options—
+those traded on a public exchange such as the Chicago Board Options 
+Exchange and those familiar to us in our daily lives.
