American call options
Let's say you think very highly of company ABCD, and you're convinced that the stock price will go up from its current trading price of $50 per share.발음듣기
You could do two things: you could either just buy the stock for $50 and hope that the price goes up, or — and I made this price up — you could go to an options exchange and, for the price of $5, you could buy the option to buy this stock over the next month.발음듣기
It expires in one month. Usually it'll be a specific date, but I'm just saying, one month from the date you buy the option, and it gives you the option to buy the stock for $60 a share.발음듣기
An American option allows you to exercise the option — to actually buy the stock — any time from the time you have the option until the expiration.발음듣기
So you bought at $50, and then over here right at the top, you're just a perfect market caller, you're able to sell the stock at $80.발음듣기
So if you bought the option, same thing, when the stock goes up to here, you'll say, "Oh, I think that's the top for the stock, let me exercise my option.발음듣기
So I'm going to exercise my option which gives me the right to buy the stock at $60 a share."발음듣기
So you're going to buy it at $60 a share, right over here, and you can immediately sell it for $80 a share.발음듣기
So you could make $20 on that transaction, but, of course, you paid $5 for the option itself.발음듣기
And to see that, imagine the negative scenario, where instead of the stock doing that, let's say the stock just completely plummets after you buy.발음듣기
But in the option scenario, this entire time that it was plummeting, you'll say, "I just won't exercise the option."발음듣기
