  Put option - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A put option (sometimes simply called a "put") is a financial contract between two parties, the buyer and the seller of the option.
The put allows the buyer the right but not the obligation to sell a commodity or financial instrument (the underlying instrument) to the seller of the option at a certain time for a certain price (the strike price).
The most widely-known put option is for stock in a particular company.

 Put-Call Parity
A portfolio comprising a call option and an amount x of cash equal to the present value of the option's strike price has the same expiration value as a portfolio comprising the corresponding put option and the underlier.
For European options, early exercise is not possible.
It applies only to European options, since a possibility of early exercise could cause a divergence in the present values of the two portfolios.

 Appendix A   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Denoting the price of a European call option as c and the price of a European put option as p, the variables c and p are both functions of S (the underlying price), X (the exercise price), r (the interest rate), t (the number of years to expiry), and (the volatility).
Since the options are European, they cannot be exercised prior to the expiration date.
It shows that the value of a European call with a certain exercise price and exercise date can be deduced from the value of a European put with the same exercise price and date, and vice versa.

A European put option is a contract between two parties (the holder and the underwriter), such that:
Many other types of option exist - for example with American options the holder has the right to exercise the option at any time during the lifetime of the option.
From a mathematical point of view, American options are challenging, and lead to a nonlinear (free-boundary) problem, which must generally be tackled computationally.

 A Note on the Call-Put Parity and a Call-Put Duality
Along with the well-known "call--put parity" relation that makes it possible to express the rational price of a put option in terms of the rational price of a call option, we introduce a "call--put duality" relation.
This new concept offers a simple explanation of the relationship between the rational price of a put option and a call option, not only for options of the European type, but also for options of the American type.
