<0> hehe not June
<1> What are options do they sell portions of shares for cheeper? Like financing in a way?
<0> naa
<2> how can i trade stocks overseas
<0> www.investopedia.com
<2> while keeping my identity a secret
<0> in search box type "options"
<1> well im just looking for a brief explination
<0> you know how future contracts work?
<1> futures are commodities
<0> yea
<1> based on global economy
<0> you know how they work?
<0> like whats a future contract?
<1> im not exactly sure
<0> ok well futures and options kinda similiar
<1> in which way
<0> futures = commodities
<3> adios
<0> options = stocks
<0> later jcv
<1> correct
<0> stock option simply gives you "THE OPTION" to buy a stock at a price you choose
<0> for instance
<0> say you think MSFT will be $30 dollars in January
<0> !q msft
<4> MSFT (MICROSOFT CP) - 4:00pm: .07 Change(0.00) / Opened(N/A) Lastclose(22.07) / Range: Daily(N/A - N/A) Yearly(21.46 - 28.38) / Volume(390175)
<0> msft is currently 22.07
<0> so you purchase the MSFT option at a STRIKE PRICE of $30 expires in Jan 07
<0> meaning, you think MSFT will be $30 by no later than Jan 07
<0> options expires on the 3rd friday of every month
<0> on expiration date you have 3 choices
<0> 1- you can sell the option
<0> 2- you can excer. the option "to buy the shares of msft at $22.07"
<0> 3 - let it expire, cause it's worthless
<0> 1 option contract = 100 shares
<0> so if you buy 5 contracts = "YOU HAVE THE option to buy 500 shares of MSFT"
<0> make sense?
<1> basically its a commited buy contrct for a stock to improve or decline and you make revenue basied on its perfomance at a discounted price of your choice
<0> no
<0> you don't have to buy it
<0> when it expires
<1> over the course of selected time
<0> yea
<0> you have "The OPTION" of buying
<0> but you don't have to
<0> like for instance
<1> did you not origionally invest your money when you purchased the option?
<0> no
<0> options are cheaper
<5> actually, the options player would have to do a cost benefit analysis of the STRIKE (in this example $30) price
<0> usually in the pennies = $1 range
<0> depending on the strike price
<0> well... i'm trying to keep it simple cyberyak
<0> heh

<1> what happens if your option doesnt reach its strike price?
<7> !q PEIX
<4> PEIX (PACIFIC ETHANOL I) - 9:30am: .30 Change(-0.23 -1.07%) / Opened(N/A) Lastclose(21.53) / Range: Daily(21.20 - 21.30) Yearly(7.35 - 44.50) / Volume(78473)

<5> it expires worthless and you lose what you paid for the option.
<0> if it's close, you can still sell it for a profit (depending on how far away it is from expiration date)
<8> if you wanted to excercize the option on a stock with a strike price of $30, you need to have at least $3000 right ?
<0> no
<8> never any less than 100 shares ?
<5> rarely.
<5> the do have odd lots due to mergers, splits and dividends
<8> what does the volume on an option quote mean ?
<0> eh
<0> options have volume too
<1> volume=amount
<0> just like stocks
<0> yea
<0> you guys really need to go read about that on investopedia.com
<0> or yahoo.com has a good tutorial too
<8> so they're not just individual deals, but something lots of people can take ?
<8> i just had a couple specific things i didnt know, and i saw you talking about options
