Nothing. Once you enter into a put contract, the strike price remains the same. If the stock price goes over the strike price and stays there until expiration, you just let the put expire.

The Payoff i.e. profit for a Call Option is St-X where St is the market price at time t and X is the exercise price. Assuming that it is an American Style option where it can be exercised at any time, If St is significantly greater than the exercise price,X, (the agreed price to buy an option at) then if the option holder exercises it immediately they will be 'in-the-money.' This means it has a high intrinsic value which causes a rise in value for the option. The Payoff for a Put Option is X-St where X=exercise price and St equals market price at time t. If the market price increases the gap between X and St (Payoff or Profit) reduces or if X<St then they will be making a loss. This will mean it will have a low intrinsic value (value if exercised immediately) therefore the value of the option will fall.
No. The value of a call option can never be negative. For example, let's say that one has a call option on FOO with a strike price of $30 and the option expires at the end of the day. If the underlying price of FOO shares are below $30, the price of the option will be very near $0 (because no one would pay much for the right to pay for an underwater option), but there is still a chance that the stock will go above $30 (no matter how remote). If the underlying price of FOO shares are at $30, the price of the option will be low, but positive (because there is a chance that the stock will go above $30. If the underlying price of FOO shares are above $30, the price of the option will be slightly higher than the difference between the strike price and the share price (because there is so little time left for changes; however, there will be some time value as suggested in the examples above).
When a stock is at $10, a $9 strike price call option allows you to buy that stock at $9, which is $1 cheaper than the market price, hence it is in the money (ITM).Now, when a stock is $10, a $9 strike price PUT OPTION allows you to SELL that stock for $9 when you can actually sell it for $10, so there's no value in it, right? (why would anyone want to sell a stock at $9 when he can sell it for $10, right?) That is why it is out of the money (OTM).It is not an inconsistency but that you did not understand that options moneyness for call and put options are the reverse.
When you write a put option, you are player banker to someone betting that the price of a stock is going up. You receive the "bet" in the form of the options premium earned form the person buying the put options from you. If the stock fails to exceed the strike price of the put options by expiration, the buyer has lost the bet and you keep the "bet" money as profit. In this case, your profit is limited to the "bet" money or options premium you received for selling the put options. When you buy a call option, you are buying the right to buy a stock at a fixed price until expiration. If you buy a call option with strike price of $10 and the stock subsequently went up to $50, you can still buy the stock at $10 and then sell it for $50, making the $40 difference as profit. In this case, your profit is only limited to how high the stock rises.
When a stock undergoes a reverse split, the number of shares outstanding decreases and the stock price increases proportionally. This can affect options by adjusting the strike price and the number of shares covered by the option contract.
When a stock splits, the number of shares increases and the price per share decreases. This typically leads to an adjustment in the terms of the call options, such as the strike price and the number of shares covered by each option.
The most effective option strategy for maximizing profits in the stock market is the long call option strategy. This strategy involves buying a call option on a stock with the expectation that the stock price will rise significantly. If the stock price increases, the call option will also increase in value, allowing the investor to profit from the price movement.
Yes, and it's massive. If you buy a call, the option exercises if the stock price is higher than the strike price. If this happens, you resell the stock and keep the profit. If you sell a put, the option exercises if the stock price is below the strike price. If this happens, you bury the stock in the back yard until the price goes back up.
Exercising an option means exercising your rights to buy or sell the underlying asset in accordance to the parameters of the option. When you exercise a call option, you will get to buy the underlying stock at the strike price no matter what price the stock is trading at in the market. When you exercise a put option, you will get to sell the underlying stock at the strike price no matter what price the stock is selling at in the market. In both cases, the option you own disappears from your account.
When you sell a put option, you are agreeing to buy a specific stock at a predetermined price (the strike price) if the option buyer decides to exercise the option. In exchange for selling the put option, you receive a premium from the buyer.
Stock options allow you to buy stock in a company at a certain price, no matter what the price of the stock is currently. There is usually a time period associated with the offer. Sometimes this could be a sweet deal (if the stock is currently higher than the option) to worthless (if the option price is higher that the current stock price). You also don't have to have the funds to exercise the option, you can have a brokerage company exercise the option, then sell the stock at the higher price, with the difference being your profit.
A valuation stock option is an agreement made to offer the option to purchase the stock at a later date. The price of the option is based on the reference price and the value of the asset in which the stock is being purchased.
If the spot price of the stock exceeds the "strike price" in the call option, the option is in-the-money and you can exercise it. But if you have a choice, wait to exercise it until the stock's spot price exceeds the strike price enough to cover the premium. Example: the strike price is $40 and the premium was $2. In order to make money on this option, the stock price needs to be over $42--enough to pay for the stock and replace the money you spent buying the option.
Option calls give the holder the right to buy a specific stock at a predetermined price within a set time frame. If the stock price goes up, the holder can exercise the option to buy the stock at the lower price, making a profit. If the stock price stays the same or goes down, the holder can choose not to exercise the option, limiting their loss to the price paid for the option.
A component of the option price is the implied volatility of the stock. When the implied volatility rises the price of the option rises slightly. Read more about VEGA & DELTA of an option.
You should exercise a put option when the stock price is below the strike price of the option, allowing you to sell the stock at a higher price than its current market value.
