Call Option

When commodity prices take off in the short term people tend to fear long-term changes to their everyday lives, especially when it comes to one with such large implications downstream as crude oil does.

The wide world of options can open up an everyday trader’s portfolio to P/L fluctuations unseen in the outright world of shares and futures. You can take advantage of large moves higher while only putting up a small, set amount of capital by buying calls. You can make money from a particular market’s demise without the risk of going short by buying puts.
