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. A put option allows its purchaser to sell ("put") stocks on a certain price for a certain date. The seller of the option has to buy them (in a put) or sell them (in a call) if the option is exercised.

Difference between put option and call option?

The holder/purchaser/owner of a call option contract has the right to buy an asset (or call the asset away) from a writer/seller of a call option contract at the pre-determined contract or strike price. The holder/purchaser/owner of a call option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to rise during the term or duration of the call contract, for as the value of the underlying asset increases so does the value of the call option contract. Conversely, the write/seller of a call option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to remain stable or to decline. The holder/purchaser/owner of a put option contract has the right to sell an asset (or put the asset) to a writer/seller of a put option contract at the pre-determined contract or strike price. The holder/purchaser/owner of a put option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to decline during the term or duration of the put contract, for as the value of the underlying asset declines the contract value increases. Conversely, the writer/seller of a put option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to remain stable or to rise.
