Options and Futures

Type

A put or call is a financial instrument that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a specific time period. A put option allows the buyer to sell the asset, while a call option allows the buyer to buy the asset. These options are commonly used in hedging strategies and can be valuable tools for managing risk in the stock market. Understanding the difference between a put and call is essential for making informed financial decisions.
