Understanding Options
An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a set price within a specific time frame. The seller (or writer) takes on the responsibility to fulfill the contract if the buyer chooses to exercise it.
The value of an option is based on the price of the underlying security, along with factors such as volatility, time to expiration and interest rates. Options can be used to hedge risk, generate income or speculate on market movements. Notably, they carry a high level of complexity and risk.
