How can I profit from selling call options below the strike price?
Selling call options below the strike price can be profitable if the options expire worthless or if the stock price stays below the strike price. This strategy allows you to keep the premium received from selling the options as profit. However, there is a risk of potentially unlimited losses if the stock price rises significantly above the strike price. It is important to carefully consider your risk tolerance and market outlook before engaging in this strategy.

Can you explain how to buy call options?
To buy a call option, you pay a premium to the option seller for the right to buy a specific stock at a predetermined price (strike price) before a certain date (expiration date). If the stock price rises above the strike price before the expiration date, you can exercise the option and buy the stock at the lower strike price, potentially making a profit.
What happen if spot price remains above spot price in call option in stock?
If the spot price of the stock exceeds the "strike price" in the call option, the option is in-the-money and you can exercise it. But if you have a choice, wait to exercise it until the stock's spot price exceeds the strike price enough to cover the premium. Example: the strike price is $40 and the premium was $2. In order to make money on this option, the stock price needs to be over $42--enough to pay for the stock and replace the money you spent buying the option.
What is the process for exercising a put option?
Exercising a put option involves the holder selling the underlying asset at the strike price before the option's expiration date. This allows the holder to profit if the asset's price falls below the strike price.
