Well...ask away...are you just trying to understand how they work? The HSX Glossary is a help as well..
Here it is, straight from the Glossary:
A CALL option is the opposite of a PUT option. A call speculates that the related MovieStock will have a higher box-office take for its opening weekend than the strike price. For example, a H$15 call for "Jillian in June" has a strike price of H$15, and will cash out at ZERO if the movie does not make $15 million or more during opening weekend.
A PUT is a form of option that speculates a related movie will have a lower box-office take for its opening weekend than the strike price. A H$15 Put for "Jillian in June" has a strike price of H$15, and will cash out at ZERO if the movie takes in more than $15 million during opening weekend.
