FAQS

Stock options are financial contracts that grant the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) shares of a specific company’s stock. Index options give the right to buy or sell an index, representing a basket of stocks.

Consider stocks with high liquidity and volatility, as these can lead to more active options markets. Look at factors like earnings reports, news, and technical analysis to gauge potential price movements.

Choose an index that aligns with your market outlook and trading strategy. Factors include sector exposure, volatility, and the availability of liquid options contracts.

Risks include the potential loss of the premium paid for the option, time decay (theta), and market volatility. In the case of call options, there’s also the risk of assignment, requiring you to sell shares at the strike price.

Index options offer diversification because they represent a broader market. They can also be less affected by the performance of individual companies, making them more stable in some cases.

Utilize financial news, technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and options-specific data like implied volatility and open interest to evaluate potential options trades.

Strategies include covered calls, protective puts, straddles, strangles, and more. The choice depends on your outlook and risk tolerance.

Popular strategies include index credit spreads, iron condors, and butterfly spreads. These strategies aim to profit from volatility or range-bound market conditions.

Implied volatility represents the market’s expectations for future price swings. Higher implied volatility often leads to higher option premiums, which can be advantageous for options sellers and challenging for buyers.

Tax treatment of options can vary by jurisdiction and personal circumstances. In the United States, for example, taxes can differ between short-term and long-term options trades, as well as between equity and index options. Consult with a tax advisor for guidance.
