In this episode you will learn: - A call option gives the buyer the right to buy a stock, while a put option gives the right to sell. - An option's premium is composed of its intrinsic value (the in-the-money amount) and its time value. - A call is 'in-the-money' when the market price is above the strike price; a put is 'in-the-money' when the market price is below the strike price. - Exercise is the act of the buyer using their right, while assignment is the seller being obligated to fulfill the contract. - Options trading requires special account approval and risk disclosure due to the complexity and potential for significant losses.
