Morning ablutions and other responsibilities. by Daniel R. Levitan. This morning a phrase popped into my head â âmorning ablutionsâ. I do not believe that I have heard that phrase used in the past thirty or forty years; certainly it is not a common expression these days. But I was pleased that my mind was still functioning, even if in somewhat unpredictable ways.
Definition of 'Put Option'. Definition: Put option is a derivative contract between two parties. The buyer of the put option earns a right (it is not an obligation) to exercise his option to sell a particular asset to the put option seller for a stipulated period of time.
A put option is in-the-money if the underlying security's price is less than the strike price. Only in-the-money options have intrinsic value. It represents the difference between the current price of the underlying security and the option's exercise price, or strike price.he effect of an underlying security's dividends and the current risk-free interest rate has a small but measurable effect on option premiums. This effect reflects the cost to carry shares in an underlying security.
