An option is a contract giving the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a certain date. An option, just like a stock or bond, is a security. It is also a binding contract with strictly defined terms and properties.
The idea behind an option is present in many everyday situations. Say for example you discover a house that you'd love to purchase. Unfortunately, you won't have the cash to buy it for another three months. You talk to the owner and negotiate a deal that gives you an option to buy the house in three months for a price of $200,000. The owner agrees, but for this option, you pay a price of $3,000.
Now, consider two theoretical situations that might arise:
1. It's discovered that the house is actually the true birthplace of Elvis! As a result, the market value of the house skyrockets to $1,000,000. Because the owner sold you the option, he is obligated to sell you the house for $200,000. In the end, your profit is $797,000 ($1,000,000 - $200,000 - $3,000).
2. While touring the house, you discover not only that the walls are chock-full of asbestos, but also that the ghost of Henry VII haunts the master bedroom; furthermore, a family of super-intelligent rats have built a fortress in the basement. Though you originally thought you had found the house of your dreams, you now consider it worthless. On the upside, because you bought an option, you are under no obligation to go through with the sale. Of course, you still lose the $3,000 price of the option. |

An option is a contract to buy or sell a specific financial product officially known as the option's underlying instrument or underlying interest. For equity options, the underlying instrument is a stock, exchange-traded fund (ETF), or similar product. The contract itself is very precise. It establishes a specific price, called the strike price, at which the contract may be exercised, or acted on. And it has an expiration date. When an option expires, it no longer has value and no longer exists.
Options come in two varieties, calls and puts, and you can buy or sell either type. You make those choices - whether to buy or sell and whether to choose a call or a put - based on what you want to achieve as an options investor.

Option is the right to sell or buy an underlying stock for a price at a future date. The right to sell an underlying stock at a predetermined price at a future date is called a 'put option'. The right to buy an underlying stock at a predetermined price at a future date is called 'call option'.
Options are also called derivatives since they are derived out of the underlying shares or stocks. |

A choice? |

An "option" is a choice or selection you can make--as opposed to having to settle with what you're given. |

If, as I suspect, you refer-to stock, then- I think it's a chance to buy at what you are gambling is a peak or near peak price with the understanding that you can sell at the price you paid for it ... when ... it ... takes ...a... drastic dip. The profit part is in your gamble that it WILL drop to a pre-selected (by you) date because part of the deal is your dough is sort of in escrow and you forfeit all of it if you guess wrong. (And make a killing if you guess right.)

This might sound more sensible to me had I mentioned - you only have to 'put up'. a deposit when you enter into the transaction although you do need to have the total amount in your brokerage account. |

a call is the contractual right to buy a stock at a give price. A put is the right to sell a stock at a given price- so later you can cover by buying it. |
