	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 most widely-known put option is for stock in a particular company.
		The seller of the put option generally feels that the stock in question is reasonably priced, and should the price fall, the seller may be willing to become the owner of the stock at a lower price, considering it to be a bargain.

	Option - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most often the term "option" refers to a type of derivative which gives the holder of the option the right but not the obligation to purchase (a "call option") or sell (a "put option") a specified amount of a security within a specified time span.
		Additional to the intrinsic value an option has a time value, which decreases the closer the option is to its expiry date.
		Employee stock options are also widely used as a compensation vehicle for employees and, in particular, senior executives of publicy traded corporations.

	CBOE - Equity Option Concepts
		Options are contracts in which the terms of the contract are standardized and give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a particular asset (e.g., the underlying stock) at a fixed price (the strike price) for a specific period of time (until expiration).
		The seller of an option is obligated to perform according to the terms of the options contract-selling the stock at the contracted price (the strike price) for a call seller, or purchasing it for a put seller-if the option is exercised by the buyer.
		Put options may provide a more attractive method than shorting stock for profiting on stock price declines, in that, with purchased puts, you have a known and predetermined risk.

	Dueling Fools: Options Bull [Fool.com: Commentary] January 12, 2006
		Buying the stock outright via option assignment is not, of course, your desired solution, since you'd enter the option combo position only if you expected the stock to go up, in which case the put would expire worthless and not be exercised.
		Yes, the options combo replicates owning Apple stock at a per-share price that's $0.25 more expensive than the straight stock purchase, but this is offset by the interest charges saved in not having to shell out the full $7,500 for the stock position.
		The other problem with buying call options is that their cost often includes a large slug of time value, which has the bad habit of disappearing with time decay (something that stock does not suffer from).

	call option, put option
		Call options function similarly to the type of options that companies typically grant employees as part of incentive packages, but unlike stock options, which must usually be held and exercised only by the employee, a call option can be traded on the open market.
		Owners of put options hope that the value falls, because they can then buy the commodity at the low price and sell to the pre-existing buyer at the higher predetermined price.
		If the price never reaches an agreeable level for the owner of the put, they can allow the option to expire and not purchase the commodity, and all the owner loses is what they paid for the put.
