Description: Option is a security giving the right to buy and sell an asset, subject or certain conditions, within a specified period of time. The price paid for the asset when the option is exercised is called the 'exercise price' or striking price. The last day on which the option may be exercised is called the expiration date or maturity date. Call option is the simplest of kind which gives the right to buy shares of common shares and the right to sell shares is referred to as a put option. The trading of options under went a revolutionary change with the creation of the first registered securities exchange option trading-the Chicago board options exchange. Options made their first major mark on economic history during the legendary tulip-bulb craze in 17th century Holland.
