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 is a contract to sell a stock or put it to a buyer. It also represents 100 shares, and it has the same intrinsic value as a call -- in reverse. The lower a stock moves, the higher its put options rise. You can buy one or 100 calls or puts at a time.
