Call Option

Options

Ce que ça veut dire

A contract that gives you the right (but not the obligation) to buy 100 shares of an underlying asset at a fixed price (the strike price) by a specific date (the expiration date). You buy a call when you expect the underlying price to rise above the strike price plus the premium you paid.

Exemple

You buy 1 SPY call option with a $500 strike price and $3 per share premium ($300 total cost, since 1 contract = 100 shares). If SPY rises to $510 at expiration, you make $10 per share × 100 shares = $1,000, minus the $300 premium, for a net profit of $700.

L'erreur des débutants

Beginners forget that most out-of-the-money call options expire worthless if the underlying price does not rise above the strike price. You can lose 100% of the premium you paid if the trade does not work out before expiration.
