 | | However, employee stock options use is being curbed thanks in part to a decision by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) requiring that stock option grants are recorded on the income statement as an expense. | | | Additional to the intrinsic value an option has a time value, which decreases the closer the option is to its expiry date. | | | Previously, options granted with fair market value exercise prices were not considered to have a cost to the company. |

| | Options are usually sold in sets of 100 (which would allow you to buy or sell 100 shares of the underlying stock at a certain price for the duration of the option). | | | This is the cost to purchase one European-type call option of a certain stock. | | | A stock option is a contract that gives you the right—but not the obligation—to buy or sell a stock at a pre-specified price (the exercise price) for a pre-specified time, that is, until the option "expires." If the option gives you the right to buy shares of a stock, it is a call option. |

| | Call Options |
| | When you purchase a call option you will need to know 3 things: The price at which you want to purchase the stock at 9strike price), which month you want the option to expire in (expiration month), and how much you are going to pay for the option (the premium). | | | This means that the option seller must buy the stock at its current price of 29.00 and sell it at the call's lower strike price of 25.00 to the option holder, thereby incurring a loss on the trade (current price - strike price = loss). | | | A call option is at-the-money (ATM) if its strike price is the same as (or close to) the current price of the underlying stock. |

| | The call writer might have shares in his or her safe deposit box, or in another broker's account, or in that same broker's cash account -- this makes the investor covered, but not as far as the broker is concerned. | | | The writer of the call option receives a premium and agrees to deliver shares (possibly from his or her holdings, but this is not required) if the option is called. | | | A call is also considered covered if the call writer has an escrow receipt for the stock, owns a call on the same stock with a lower strike price (a spread), or has cash equal to the market value of the stock. |

| | Call options function similarly to the type of options that companies typically grant employees as part of incentive packages, but unlike stock options, which must usually be held and exercised only by the employee, a call option can be traded on the open market. | | | Owners of put options hope that the value falls, because they can then buy the commodity at the low price and sell to the pre-existing buyer at the higher predetermined price. | | | If the price never reaches an agreeable level for the owner of the put, they can allow the option to expire and not purchase the commodity, and all the owner loses is what they paid for the put. |

| | Buying a call option |
| | One of the greatest benefits of trading options on shares, as compared to trading in the actual underlying shares, is the leverage (or "gearing") that options provide, allowing you to gain exposure to greater amounts of shares for less initial cash outlay than would be possible when trading in the underlying shares. | | | The value of an option is derived from a number of factors including the relationship between the exercise price and the share price, market volatility and time to expiry. | | | A call option would enable you to profit in a rising market without actually buying the underlying shares. |
