Oldiesmann Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Care to put that in terms that we can understand? I looked up "put" on Wikipedia and still have no clue what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 This probably puts it best: ...a put, which is a contract that allows the holder to sell a given stock at a specific price within a designated period of time. Puts and calls are both types of privileges, or options, that add flexibility to the securities market. In return for a put or call, the investor pays a fee to the potential buyer or seller of the stock (the maker), who, in turn, pays a commission to the broker who brought the two parties together.... http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/bus/A0840593.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
