The holder of the option is not
obligated to exercise the right
granted to him by the option,
but should he choose to do so
the seller (issuer) of the
option is forced to fulfill the
terms agreed upon in the option.
Every option has an expiration
date, if the holder of the
option fails to exercise his
right before or on the
expiration date then he loses
the ability to exercise his
right and the option becomes
void.
The underlying asset of an
option can be a wide variety of
financial assets but is limited
to only one. Some of the
possible underlying assets are:
shares of stock, property,
bonds, futures, commodities,
etc.
There are several types of
options, but the most known and
generally used type are listed
options which fall under the
category of exchange traded
derivatives. This type of
options includes stock options,
futures options, bond options,
index options and commodity
options.
Another type of options are the
dealer options or also known as
over-the-counter options which
are traded between private
parties, the terms of which are
unrestricted – which makes them
a favorable type for large
businesses and institutions.
Listed options are a popular
means of investing amongst day
traders and speculative
investors. The reason for this
is because the price of listed
options can rise and fall very
rapidly in response to various
market developments. If someone
has a call option which lets
them buy a set amount of shares
of company A at a specific price
and the company releases its
quarterly figures which turn out
to be much better than expected,
its shares will very rapidly
increase in price – this in turn
increases the price of that
particular call option because
it enables the holder to buy the
shares of company A for less
than what they will be worth.
However, the risk in this
scenario becomes very apparent
as well. If company A’s
quarterly report turned out to
be worse than what was expected,
then the price of its shares
will decrease in value and the
call option then becomes
practically useless, after all
no one will want to use it to
buy company A’s shares at a
higher price than what they’re
trading for.
These characteristics make
listed options a very
speculative method of
investment.
