如果花$5買的call, 如果這個股票第二天從$50漲到$60,那麽你的call就(差不多)值$5+$10=$15。 轉手賣掉,就淨賺$10, 200% profit.
當然錢不是那麽好賺的,弄不好,會血本無歸。

An example of buying a call option
XYZ stock is trading for $50 a share. Calls with a strike price of $50 are available for a $5 premium and expire in six months. In total, one call contract costs $500 ($5 premium x 100 shares).
The graph below shows the buyer’s profit or payoff on the call with the stock at various prices.
Because one contract represents 100 shares, for every $1 increase in the stock price above the strike price, the total value of the option increases by $100.
The breakeven point — above which the option starts to earn money, have intrinsic value or be in the money — is $55 per share. That’s the strike price of $50 plus the $5 cost of the call. When the stock trades between $50 and $55, the buyer would recoup some of the initial investment, but the option does not show a net profit.
