Today we&#8217;re answering the common question of what is a call option. There are a couple of ways to answer this. If you are buying a call option, that means you are buying the right to buy a stock at a fixed price, within a set timeframe. If you are selling a call option, then you are taking on the obligation to sell a stock at a fixed price, within a set timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So really, the answer to this question is two-fold. It depends on what you&#8217;re doing. If you&#8217;re buying the call, you have the right to buy the stock. If you&#8217;re selling the stock, you have the obligation to sell it. The way that I want to answer this question is, this becomes a contract between two investors. That&#8217;s the simplest way to answer this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video Transcription Okay.
