The strike price is the heart of the futures market. If you are dealing in puts, the strike price is the price below which the option exercises. If I sell a put on Acme at $10, I can be required to buy the security if it falls to $9.95. In calls, if the share price goes above the strike price the option exercises--if I sell a call on Acme at $10, the option executes if the share price hits $10.05.

Can you explain how to buy call options?
To buy a call option, you pay a premium to the option seller for the right to buy a specific stock at a predetermined price (strike price) before a certain date (expiration date). If the stock price rises above the strike price before the expiration date, you can exercise the option and buy the stock at the lower strike price, potentially making a profit.
What is a covered call strategy and how can it be used to generate income in the money?
A covered call strategy is when an investor owns a stock and sells a call option on that stock. This strategy can generate income by collecting the premium from selling the call option. If the stock price remains below the strike price of the call option, the investor keeps the premium as profit. If the stock price rises above the strike price, the investor may have to sell the stock at the strike price but still keeps the premium received.
What is a covered call in the money and how does it work in options trading?
A covered call in the money is an options trading strategy where an investor sells a call option on a stock they already own. The call option is considered "in the money" when the stock price is higher than the option's strike price. By selling the call option, the investor collects a premium, but they also agree to sell their stock at the strike price if the option is exercised. This strategy can generate income for the investor while potentially limiting their upside potential if the stock price rises above the strike price.
How can I profit from selling call options below the strike price?
Selling call options below the strike price can be profitable if the options expire worthless or if the stock price stays below the strike price. This strategy allows you to keep the premium received from selling the options as profit. However, there is a risk of potentially unlimited losses if the stock price rises significantly above the strike price. It is important to carefully consider your risk tolerance and market outlook before engaging in this strategy.

What happen if spot price remains above spot price in call option in stock?
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.

Is there any difference if you buy a call or sell a put?
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.
Should you take a loss with exercising stock options that are below the strike price Example is that options are worth 15.20 right now but strike price is 16?
What you should really consider is the price of the stock in relation to the strike price. If the price of the stock is now way above $16, for example, the underlying stock is $50 now, then exercising the options for the stocks would be more profitable. Otherwise, simply selling the options would be more profitable. The moneyness of the options matter more in this case.
How is it possible for an employee stock option to be valuable even if the firms stock price fails to meet shareholders expectations?
Stock options are in essence the right to buy a specified number of shares at a specified price (known as the "strike price") within a specified period of time. If at any given point the current price of a share of stock is higher than the strike price, the options have value. Both stock price and shareholder expectations tend to fluctuate, and not always in the same direction at the same time, so it's quite normal for the two to be at least temporarily out of alignment. Think of it this way. The value of the options is based on the difference between the current stock price and the strike price, while shareholder expectations are based on what shareholders collectively thought the stock should or would be worth. If a share of stock is worth more than the strike price, but less than the shareholders were expecting, it would result in the situation you describe.

What is excersing a option?
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.
