Educational tool only — not financial advice. Assumes you hold to expiration; selling early changes the math (time value). One contract = 100 shares. Options can expire worthless — never risk more than you can afford to lose.
Buying options (30-second version)
A call bets the stock goes up past strike + premium. A put bets it drops below strike − premium.
Your max loss is the premium. That's the whole appeal — defined risk, uncapped upside on calls.
Breakeven isn't the strike. You need the stock past strike plus what you paid. Most beginners forget the premium.
