Question What is a 'Stock Option'?
Advice from Guru
Hello Fluffy,

A stock option is a privilege, sold by one party to another, that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a stock at an agreed-upon price within a certain period of time. American options, which make up most of the public exchange-traded stock options, can be exercised any time between the date of purchase and the expiration date of the option. On the other hand, European options, also known as "share options" in the United Kingdom, are slightly less common and can only be redeemed at the expiration date.
