Gold, contrary to popular belief, is not an investment - it is a speculation. When the economy is limping, gold prices rise. When the economy is strong, gold prices fall. If the economy eventually recovers slowly but surely, gold will slowly but surely drop in price. If the economy should suddenly begin to recover strongly and rapidly, gold prices will fall through the floor.

Do some reseach and you might be able to answer your homework.

No. That would be an incredibly bad thing to do.

A call gives you the option to purchase a certain amount of a certain stock for a certain price on or before a certain date. Say, 100 shares of 3M for $90 with expiration date of September 2011, and you paid $2 per share premium. The reason you want this is to make money on the upside: you think the stock will go over $92, so you buy a call, wait till the stock goes over $92, exercise the call and sell the stock immediately, pocketing the difference between the $92 you paid per share ($2 premium plus $90 for the stock) and the money you earned by selling the stock.

That's all well and good if the stock goes up to $97--you earn $5 profit. If 3M is trading at $87, though, you'd be better off blowing off the option (which you can do--it's an option not a futures contract) and buying the stock on the open market.

And that, fine questioner, leads us to the First Rule of Options: Never exercise them unless you can make money doing it.

Forwards Contract:

A forward contract is the simplest of the Derivative products. It is a mutual agreement between two parties, in which the buyer agrees to buy a quantity of an asset at a specific price from the seller at a future date. The Price of the contract does not change before delivery. These type of contracts are binding, which means both the buyer and seller must stay committed to the contract. This means they are bound to deliver or take delivery of the product on which the forward contract was agreed upon. Forwards contracts are very useful in hedging

Futures Contract:

A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in the future at a specific price. The Contractual terms of the futures contracts are very clear. The Futures market was designed to solve the shortcomings in the forwards contracts. Unlike forwards, futures are traded in organized exchanges. They also use a clearing house that provides the necessary protection to both the buyer and the seller. The price of the futures contract can change prior to delivery. Hence, both participants must settle daily price changes as per the contract values.

Difference:

Futures are traded in Organized Exchanges while Forwards are Over-The-Counter (OTC) traded

It's actually called a call option. I will provide you with a definition I just found for this, and some additional tips on options trading.

The option to sell shares is a put. The option to buy them is a call.

Gingival or periodontal flap surgery (gingivectomy) is indicated in advanced periodontal disease, in which the stability of the teeth are compromised by infection, which displaces ligament and bone

Call options allow their buyers to purchase assets from a "counterparty" for a set price--which is called the "strike price." Say, 100 shares of Acme for $25 with expiration in June.

The reason you buy this thing is because you think the price of the asset is going to go up. If Acme stock goes up to $27, you exercise your option and pay $25 per share. If you paid less than $2 per share premium, you'll make money when you sell the stock.

If you exercised the option when Acme was $23, you'd pay $25 for $23 stock--which is a bad investment any way you look at it.

Call prices CAN exceed the price of the underlying asset. It happens all the time, but no one exercises the options when they're like this because you would lose money if you did.

they are usually accounted for separately because they are not entirely exerciseable at that current time...this means that they will be able to be purchased at usually a much reduced price at a later time, but have no voting value now because they cannot be exercised until a later specified time.

Usually, yeah. (Answerer shrugs...) In the derivatives business there are no absolutes, but in a lot of cases the premium rises with increasing volatility.
