Default Re: Call Options?

when you buy a call option, you have the "option" of exercising the contracts at the strike date to purchase the stock of the security, or you can sell the option for whatever premium the market currently values it at.

you are not a shareholder when you buy options - so you get no dividends or shareholder benefits
