Equity option

An equity option gives the holder the time-limited right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an instrument at a predetermined price, in exchange for a premium payment. A call option gives the buyer the right to purchase shares from the seller at the pre-set strike price. A put option gives the buyer the right to sell shares to the seller at the strike price.
