 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.
However, options are traded on many other assets: financial - such as interest rates (see interest rate floor) - and physical, such as gold or crude oil.
In general, the buyer of a put option expects the price of stock to fall significantly, but does not want to sell the stock short because that could result in large losses if the stock does go up anyway.

 Introduction to Exotic Options   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Exotic options are either variations on the payoff profiles of the plain vanilla options or they are wholly different kinds of products with optionality embedded in them.
A knock-in option in which the barrier is in-the-money with respect to the strike is called a reverse knockin option.
The payoff of average rate options is calculated by taking the difference between the average for a pre-set index over the life of the option and the strike price and then multiplying this difference by the notional amount.

 Exotic mortgages lower payments, but raise risk
Monthly payments can be made according to a traditional fully-amortizing loan where payments consist of interest and principal; an accelerated 15-year fully-amortizing schedule; an interest-only payment, or a minimum payment that may not cover all of the interest.
In short, this means that the monthly payments are not sufficient to cover the interest due for that month and the unpaid interest is then added to the loan balance.
Imagine taking a mortgage loan where the interest rate was adjustable every month from the outset, the loan balance is amortized over a 40-year period, the borrower has the option of making interest-only or minimum payments, and monthly payment and rate adjustment caps could result in the unpaid interest being added to the existing balance.

 How option ARMs work
Most option ARMs are based on one of three indexes: the 11th District Cost of Funds Index (the COFI), the 12-month moving Treasury average (the MTA), or the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (the 1-month LIBOR).
The rate on an option ARM is adjusted monthly, but the minimum payment is adjusted annually and remains fixed for a year.
In a research paper for investors, Fitch Ratings (registration required) calculated a scenario in which a borrower gets a $500,000 option ARM, and the interest rate rises from 5.41 percent to 9.66 percent in five years.

 Interest Rate Swaps
Or, Acme may believe that long-term interest rates are going to rise, causing it to seek protection against the impact of higher interest rates on its balance sheet.
Therefore, we would expect that in fixed-floating interest rate swaps, the entity paying fixed and receiving floating is usually the less creditworthy of the two counterparties.
The interest rate swap gives the less creditworthy entity a way of borrowing fixed rate funds for a longer term at a cheaper rate than they could raise such funds in the capital markets by taking advantage of the entity's relative advantage in raising funds in the shorter maturity buckets.

The changes and adjustments that the rates may bring, added to the fact that many of these loans are in areas with inflated housing prices, may cause many homeowners to lose their homes and walk away with nothing due to lack of equity built up during the I/O period.
However, the option ARM wasn't intended to be used by buyers who "wanted more house for their money" - it was created as a good choice for investers and homeowners who were not going to own the home for very long.
But in reality, rates have begun to rise and home values are dropping in many areas, and the option ARM has become more of a danger than it looked to be in the past.

 Interest rate Risk- Models   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The modelling of the term structure of interest rates has produced a variety of approaches since the advent of arbitrage-free pricing theory and it continues to occupy the efforts of both academics and practitioners.
Nevertheless, the goal of interest rate modelling is to provide a framework under which a large class of interest rate sensitive securities can be priced in a consistent manner.
For forward rate models, the critical factor in determining the behaviour of a model is the form of the (HJM) volatility function.

It covers almost all aspects of exotic and hybrid instruments: the real life examples, theory behind the pricing models, implementation using different numerical methods, hedging and risk management issues, a good appendix on the basic math stuff and even a sample VBA code to do multivariate MC.
By restricting attention to interest-rate option models only, the author manages to give a thorough introduction to the subject, that goes way beyond the short chapters in standard textbooks such as Hull's or Wilmott's (I am not familiar with Miron and Swannell).
He covers the behavior of the Greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta, etc.) for vanilla options as well as behavior of exotic options, and delves into the practicalities of volatility, hedging at discontinuities, and various other topics.
