Causes Impaired digestion or absorption can result in fatty stools. Possible causes include exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, with poor digestion from lack of lipases, loss of bile salts, which reduces micelle formation, and small intestinal disease producing malabsorption.
Put Option. A put option is an option contract in which the holder (buyer) has the right (but not the obligation) to sell a specified quantity of a security at a specified price (strike price) within a fixed period of time (until its expiration).
Options at each expiration date come with a range of strike prices -- the stock prices at which the option can be exercised. For call options, the stock must move above the strike price to turn a profit; with puts, an option has value when the stock goes below the option strike price.
