Buying a call:

Let’s say you think Company X, now at $29.50, has a rosy future. You expect the stock
to hit $35 in the next six months, so you buy the Company X April $30 calls at $1.20.
Here’s how to figure what you would need to break even and what your profit would be
on expiration day if Company X moved in the right direction…

Strike Price $30.00


+ Amount Paid for Option + $ 1.20
Breakeven Price $31.20

The market price of the stock needs to be above the breakeven price at expiration
for a call to be profitable.

Market Price of the Stock $33.86 (Company X’s price at expiration)


- Strike Price - $30.00
- Amount Paid for Option - $ 1.20
Your Net Profit $ 2.66 (222% profit)

Buying a put:

Let’s say, conversely, you think Company X is going downhill. You expect the stock to
sink to $25 in the next six months, so you buy the Company X April $30 puts at $1.50.
Here’s how to figure what you would need to break even and what your profit would be
on expiration day if the stock took a turn for the worse:

Strike Price $30.00


- Amount Paid for Option - $ 1.50
Breakeven Price $28.50

The market price of the stock needs to be below the breakeven price at expiration
for a put to be profitable.

Strike Price $30.00


- Market Price of the Stock - $26.20 (Company X’s price at expiration)
- Amount Paid for Option - $ 1.50
Your Net Profit $ 2.30 (153% profits)
