Buying a call option gives you the right to buy a fixed quantity of the underlying investment at a specified price, called the strike price, within a specified time period. For example, you might buy a call option on 100 shares of a share if you expect the market price to increase but prefer not to tie up your money by making the actual purchase. If the price of the share goes up, you can exercise the option and buy at less than the market price. But if the price doesn't change or it drops, you can simply let the option expire. In contrast, you can sell a call option, which is known as writing a call. That gives the buyer the right to buy the underlying investment from you at the strike price before the option expires. If you write a call, you are obliged to sell if the option is exercised.

The right to buy a specific number of shares of an investment (such as stock) at a pre-set price by a certain date. With stock options, for instance, in exchange for a premium, a call gives the holder the right to buy 100 shares of a stock at a "strike" price at any time during a set period that may vary from 1 to 90 days. Call options are appropriate for investors who feel that a certain stock is going to go up in value. If the stock increases in value, the investor would exercise the option and collect a profit on the price increase. If the stock drops, the investor would let the option expire, forfeiting the price of the premium. (Also see Option.)
