Good evening sir
when we talk about valuing equity using bsop....
its saying that in effect, value of shares can be seen as a call option.
my question: is he talking about shareholders owning call options? call option is the right to buy .... but they ALREADY own the shares....
can u pls explain
i dont quite get the understanding..even tho the math is ok.

9y ago#1Yes, but the market value of the shares is what other people are prepared to pay for them.
Buying them is like a call option because you get the benefit of the company doing well, but there is a limit on what you stand to lose if the company fails.
