What is a put option?
Options and futures are slightly different. It is estimated that China will not launch options for 20 years. Literally, it is easier to understand options, that is, expected rights. Put options are short selling operations that they think will fall in the future. Because the margin of futures is relatively high, and the most loss of options is the handling fee and a small amount of power price. For example, at present, the price of soybean is 3,000 yuan/ton, and the futures need 3,000 yuan deposit. If you expect to fall to 2900 yuan and the price is 100 yuan, then you can only short 100 yuan. When it falls to 2900 yuan, then you can exercise, that is, the exercise price of 100 yuan is 3000 yuan, then your single hand in futures is to earn 100 x 65438. If the soybean does not fall but rises to more than 3000 yuan, then you can't exercise your rights, that is, the total loss 100 yuan. Therefore, for retail investors, the choice is really small and wide, with less loss and more profit. It seems easy to do, but in fact, it is often difficult for power and price to run in the same direction in transactions, and the actual price tends to zero. According to foreign options market, the profit of options is around 35%. But it is also more stable than in futures, where 1 person often earns 9 losses.
