Hi everybody,
Can anyone share how they remember in what scenarios a call option is bought and when a put option is bought?
Many thanks

In Examination Question Option to Delay or Expand are called Call Options and Option to Redeploy or Withdraw (meaning terminating the project) are called Put Options.
I do hope your Question is answered.
Mohammed.

February 5, 2016 at 3:20 pm #299392Hi both, thanks for your replies. Yes john I am indeed asking about foreign exchange and interest rate options. I am aware that these are covered in the lectures. I have watched them and appreciate them fully.
My question was poorly worded. What I’m asking for is a way to remember when to buy a call option and when to buy a put.
I can work it out myself but I wont have the luxury of time in the exam to work it out, thus I was after a way to remember it – a mnemonic for example would be useful.
Thanks for the lectures JohnApril 23, 2016 at 1:42 pm #312350AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0
