| rana1970 | not right but obligation |
| jpducros | Remember: Call = Buy ; Put = Sell |
| poomie83 | future is a commitment to sell not a right |
| johntan1979 | I almost got thrown off by "by a certain date". You can exercise the option at any time, but not after the expiration date. |
| GBolt93 | Rana it's an obligation only if you exercise the option, which you have the right to do or not do. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
