Many companies offer stock as part of an employee compensation plan. This stock becomes vested when the employee actually owns the stock, meaning that he won't lose the stock if his employment is terminated. Note that vesting doesn't necessarily mean the employee is free to use the stock in any way he likes.
Option Functions. A stock option gives you the right to purchase shares at a preset price. In market terminology, the price at which you can exercise an option is called the strike price. So if you hold an option with a $25 dollar strike price, if you exercise the option, you will pay $25 per share. It does not matter where the actual market price of the shares currently sits. You can see that an option will get more valuable as the underlying stock price increases.
