Defining Options Trading
Options trading involves a contract between an option writer and an option buyer. An option contract serves to some extent as a form of protection for both the buyer and the seller. With options trading, an investor can buy a stock or a share at a low cost. Within a given time frame, an investor can sell his stocks at a much higher cost, thus generating an income from it. If the investor is able to foresee a decrease in the value of his stock, he can choose to sell his stock and exit the market in order to avoid massive loss. Thus, this protects an option investor from major loss.
