What is a Call, Put, or Strike?
Simply put, the strike price is a key variable of call and put options. Definitions of the terms are outlined below:
- Strike Price: In finance, the strike price (or exercise price) of an option is the fixed price at which the owner of the option can buy (in the case of a call), or sell (in the case of a put), the underlying security or commodity. The strike price may be set by reference to the spot price (market price) of the underlying security or commodity on the day an option is taken out, or it may be fixed at a discount or at a premium.
- Call Option: A call option is in-the-money if the strike price is below the market price of the underlying stock.
- Put Option: A put option is in-the-money if the strike price is above the market price of the underlying stock.
