May 23, 2010 at 2:36 pm #60726The beauty of options is that when it comes to the date of the transaction then you have the choice of using the option or not using it.
So……suppose you have the option to exchange money at a fixed exchange rate. When it comes time to exchange the money then you can either use this fixed rate, or you can convert at whatever the spot rate happens to be. It is your choice and so you do whatever is best for you.May 23, 2010 at 2:37 pm #60727Have you looked at the lectures on them on this website?
