    but not the obligation to buy an asset is said to have a:
    A Long Futures position Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Short Futures position Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Long Call Option position Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Long Put Option position Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Short Call Option position Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution


      • Call Option:  Gives the holder the  right to buy  the underlying asset at a specified price (strike price) on or before a specified date.
      • Put Option:  Gives the holder the  right to sell  the underlying asset.
      • "Long" Position:  Refers to  buying  or  holding  the derivative contract.
      • "Short" Position:  Refers to  selling  or  writing  the derivative contract.
        Therefore, a party with the  right to buy  (call) who has  purchased  that right holds a  Long Call Option position . In a futures contract, both parties have an obligation, not a right.
