Stock Options are one of the most misunderstood investment instruments available on the stock market. They give an investor the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a stock at an agreed-upon price and date. There are numerous strategies and ways to trade options, so you can make money even when the stock price goes up, down or sideways. With options, risk is limited to the premium paid for the option contract. For puts, the maximum profit can be calculated out both risk and reward.
