Options trading and investing are growing at a record pace as interest among ordinary investors searches for speedy and safe ways to grow their portfolios. Options may be a new interest of yours, but the concept behind options has been around for thousands of years. Many have referenced an account found in Aristotle's Politics book published in 332 B.C., that's before Christ by the way! I'll tell you the story later, first let's fully fix in your mind what an option is, this way you will fully understand the value, leverage, and profit potential options offer.
Most people understand owning, buying, and selling stocks, so let's start there. You can buy or sell those shares, and you can collect dividends based on the number of shares you own. You control those shares or assets.
An option is the opportunity to buy the company's stock at a specified price and time, but not the obligation. In other words, you can if you want to and don't if you don't want to. You don't actually own any shares in the company, but you could.
Aristotle tells of a man named Thales of Miletus, an astronomer, philosopher and mathematician who studied the stars for weather patterns to determine that the ancient Greek olive harvest the following year would be a great one. Recognizing olive presses would be in high demand the following year, he sought to earn a huge profit by owning all or most of the presses but lacked the funds needed to secure numerous presses. Instead, he came up with the brilliant idea to pay a smaller amount of money as a deposit to secure the use of all the presses.
The harvest of olives that year, as predicted, went as well as he expected, and those presses were in hot demand. He sold his right to the use of the presses to all the people who needed them, of course, turning a small amount of money into a large profit (leverage).
Thales controlled the olive presses (the underlying asset the option's based on), and he could use the presses himself, or he could sell his right of use to anyone needing a press and willing to pay more for that right, giving him a tidy profit. His actions defined how options worked down thru history and started the long history of options trading.
