Options

Options are an instrument, not a lottery

A call is a right to buy. A put is a right to sell. Premium is the price of that right. Expiry is when it dies.

Options should be approached as a financial instrument requiring knowledge and risk management, not as a shortcut to quick profits.

Start with four numbers: strike, premium, expiry, underlying. Then learn intrinsic value, time value, implied volatility and the Greeks as sensitivities.

Draw the payoff and name maximum loss before you discuss a strategy name. If the payoff is unclear, the strategy does not exist yet.
