What is the supposed advantage of an 'option'?
The advantage of options accrues to their buyer: if a stock's price goes the wrong way, you don't have to execute the option so you won't be out very much money. An example, please: You bought a 90-day "put" option on Acme at $20 on July 1. This gives you the option of selling your Acme shares for $20 at some time during the 90 days covered by the contract. If the price of Acme shares on the open market falls to $18 because Earthquake Pills turn out to start hurricanes, you get to sell your shares for $20, not $18, and you'll be happy. If, OTOH, the stock rises to $23 on the news Acme has the first hurricane pill on the market, you'd be better off selling Acme to someone else so you just let the contract run out. If you had bought a put future instead of a put option, you would have been required to sell your Acme at $20 even if it went to $32 on the news they also had a tornado pill in the works.

How does stock options work?
A stock option gives its purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to make a stock transaction at a specified price. There are two kinds, the Put and the Call. A Put allows the buyer to sell (or "put") a specific number of shares of a specific stock for a specific price on or before a specific date. Say, 100 shares of Acme stock at $25. A Call allows the buyer to purchase (or "call in") a specific number of shares of a specific stock for a specific price on or before a specific date. Say, 100 shares of Acme stock at $25. When traders decide to buy one of these options, they look to an options exchange to find the "premium" they must pay to buy the option. The premium is just the payment to enter into the contract; if they buy the stock the premium doesn't apply to the sale price. (Example: if you buy Acme call options at $25 and paid a $1 premium per share, when you go to buy the stock it costs you $25 per share, not $24.)
