其實想問一件事好耐

call,put option
sell short, buy long

等等之間有什麼分別呀?

my fina101 told me...these are all finance jargons...

call and put are options that give you the right to purchase something at the pre-agreed price
buyer of call options wants the price to go up
and vice versa, buyer of put options wants the price to go down

sell = short
long = buy

if i long a call option 0005.HK at $140, i'll have the right, (but not obligation) to buy HSBC at $140 even if the stock worths $200 at maturity

if i long put of HSBC at $140, even if market price at maturity is $120, i will be able to sell it to the writer of the put at strike price of $140...

So, long short just jargons without special meaning.
Then what is the jargon for those derivatives with obligation to implement?
Futures? Contracts?

I should take Fin101a. =(

there are a lot of different contracts, futures being one of those, there are also forward contracts etc.
you are obliged to fulfill those contracts
if you long a contract, that means you'll have to buy the underlying at the pre-agreed price...  

futures are traded on the exchange, you are not subjected to counter party default risk
forwards are privately settled...

btw, why r u interested in these now?

I am interested in many of things...
Read the news about the ban of shorting stocks of financial industry a week ago and didn't know the definition of shorting.

Hi Macy .. you should be o.k. now. gov becomes the shareholder, no financial company will be bankruptcy now.
