What long position is necessary to hedge a short call option?
It depends on whether the short call is covered or naked. If you have a short covered call (you own the stocks you wrote the call on), you wouldn't hedge it--if the call gets exercised you turn over the stocks you own and call it good. If you have a short naked call (you don't own the stock), hedge with a long call that has a strike price no more than the strike price of the short call. Maybe a few bucks less, if you can get it--if the counterparty to your short call exercises it, you exercise your long call, turn over the stock you received. Your profit will be the difference between the premiums on the calls, plus the difference between the strike prices.

A call option allows its purchaser to buy ("call in") stocks at a certain price on a certain date--say, 100 shares of Walmart for $50 on November 1.

The seller of the option has to buy them (in a put) or sell them (in a call) if the option is exercised.
What is the value of a call option on maturity?
