How do you calculate gain and loss on a stock call option?
You take the whole value. For example: You bought the call for $1 which x 100 equals $100. You then sold it for $2 which x 100 equals $200. Take $100 from $200 and you are left with a gain or $100.
What is the difference between writing a covered and a naked call option?
"Writing", "Selling" and "Granting" are all terms that can mean Going Short the option."Writing a Naked Option" is simply going short the option. It seems super risky because when you Grant Options your profit is limited to the Option Premium that you receive for the Option, yet your risk is unlimited.Naked Call - Profit Limited to Premium Received. Risk is Unlimited, if the market keeps rising, you keep losing.A "Covered Call" as you can infer from the name offers a degree of safety over the Naked Call. In a covered call you limit the risk by buying the underlying security. SO you now have two open positions:Short the CallLong the SecuritySo for example, you buy 1,000 shares of IBM at $50.Then you SELL a Call option to buy 1,000 shares of IBM at $50. You receive $3,000 for the option.So in essence, you have $3,000 (the premium received) in your account, BUT don't celebrate too quickly because you're on the hook should IBM Rise.However, the good news is that IF the market goes against you, you gain on the shares of IBM which pay off the loses on the call. Viola, you are covered.Covered Call - Limiting the risk factors inherent in option granting, naked selling or writing utilizing the underlying securities.- - - - -The difference between writing a covered and a naked call is simple.When you write a covered call, you own the underlying stock. There are some hedging strategies using puts and calls together, and you can also "lock in" profit with a covered call.Example: you own a stock you know goes up and down in price on a cyclical basis (meaning it has a pattern of ups and downs that repeats itself year to year) that you paid $20 for. You think the highest it's going to get is $45, so you write a covered call at $45. You also think it will hit $20 in six months, so you buy a one-year put at $20...but that's not part of this discussion. If it actually does hit $45 you get a nice chunk of change dropped in your brokerage account and your stock becomes someone else's problem.When you write a naked call, you don't own the stock and you believe it will never rise to the call's strike price. In that case your profit is the premium on the option. If it does you've pretty much had it unless you've got your call hedged with another call.
How many calorie make one pound?
If you calculate your BMR this will tell you how many calories your body needs a day to maintain its weight. If you then consume 500 extra calories a day for a full week you should gain around a pound in weight. So I would say the answer is 3500 calories.
Differences between Forwards and Futures?
Forward contracts are very similar to futures contracts, except they are not marked to market, exchange traded, or defined on standardized assets. Forwards also typically have no interim partial settlements or "true-ups" in margin requirements like futures - such that the parties do not exchange additional property securing the party at gain and the entire unrealized gain or loss builds up while the contract is open. A forward contract arrangement might call for the loss party to pledge collateral or additional collateral to better secure the party at gain. (Wikipedia)
When do you sell a call option?
There are a couple of times you'd do it. The first is if you want to automatically lock in a gain. Let's say you have a stock you bought at 15, and you want to double your money on the investment. So you sell a call at 30 with a long expiration date...oh, maybe a year. If at any time the stock crosses the $30 threshold, you exercise the option. You can also use short calls and long puts (sell a call, buy a put) as a hedging strategy. And then there's the call you sell when you just want to make money by collecting premiums--you sell a call at a higher price than you think the stock will reach, and hope it doesn't go that high.
