Calling (and putting) the shots

Article Abstract:

Options were used by merchants to fund voyages, and were pioneered by Dutch merchants. The main types of options are call options, bestowing the right to purchase, and put options, which give the right to sell. Investors can use options to limit losses or to take advantage of trends in the market. Holders of options have rights but not the obligation to buy or sell, so their risks are limited. Options contracts can be left to expire if they are not needed.
