Key Differences
A Call option provides the holder with the right, but not the obligation, to buy an asset at a specified price within a specified period. The primary motive of the buyer of a Call option is to profit from rising prices of the underlying asset. In contrast, a Put option offers its holder the right, but again not the obligation, to sell an asset at a predetermined price within a set time frame. People who buy Put options generally anticipate the price of the underlying asset to decline.
Both Call and Put options are financial derivatives that derive their value from an underlying asset, such as a stock or commodity. While the Call option allows you to capitalize on potential upward price movements, the Put option lets you hedge against potential losses from downward price trends. They are essentially tools investors can use to speculate or manage risk.
One can think of a Call as a positive outlook on the market or a specific asset. If you hold a Call and the asset's price increases, you stand to profit. On the other hand, a Put reflects a more pessimistic view. If the price of the asset decreases, the Put option's value typically increases, thus providing a safety net against falling prices.
In summary, both Call and Put options are financial instruments that give their holders specific rights regarding an underlying asset's purchase or sale. The primary distinction is their opposing views on the market; Calls are optimistic, hoping for price rises, while Puts are defensive, guarding against price drops.
