How to use "Option" in context?
The option metaphor is a useful tool used in financial planning. It helps individuals better understand the risks and rewards associated with different investment options.
An option is a contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a security at a set price within a certain time period. The term can also be used to refer to the underlying security.
There are two types of options: call and put. A call option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the security at the designated price before the expiration date.
