Options on Futures Contracts
What are known as put and call options are being traded on a growing
number of futures contracts. The principal attraction of buying
options is that they make it possible to speculate on increasing
or decreasing futures prices with a known and limited risk. The
most that the buyer of an option can lose is the cost of purchasing
the option (known as the option "premium") plus transaction
costs. Options can be most easily understood when call options and
put options are considered separately, since, in fact, they are
totally separate and distinct. Buying or selling a call in no way
involves a put, and buying or selling a put in no way involves a
call.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
The risk of loss exists in futures and options trading.
