| LondonBoy | Why not I & II ? |
| niti | Question says directly from firm.Hence ans is I only. |
| danlan | That's the difference between Warrant and Call option: directly from firm/not. |
| mtcfa | Got it. |
| Rotigga | Caught me off guard. Good question. |
| cslau83 | Call could be direct from company when company writes call. |
| gulfa99 | "for a specified time" |
| Creep | Indeed, it's the "specified time" clause that is the kicker.... |
| jonan203 | "specified time" has nothing to do with it, call and put options have a limited life over a "specified time" as well; however, they are traded on exchanges, not by the company! |
| gill15 | Damn...nice catch--- some of these just get you... |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
