MovieStock: Hostage
Options are Hollywood Derivatives based around a specific event. Typically 'calls' and 'puts' options are offered for a MovieStock opening in wide release. This form of speculation lasts only for the opening weekend.
Put
A put option is the opposite of a call option. A put speculates that the related movie will have a lower box office take for its opening weekend than the strike price. A $20 put has a strike price of $20, and will cash out at zero if the movie makes more than $20 million or more during opening weekend. If the film makes less than $20 million it will cash out at a price determined by the following formula: (Strike Price - Actual Box Office). For Example if the film made $15 million the put would cash out at H$5.00 (H$20 - H$15).
