Call Option Contract
A call is an option contract that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of shares of a specified security at a specified price within a specific time period. You can either buy the call option, giving you the right to "call" away the stock from the seller, or you can sell the call option, giving someone the right to "call" away the stock from you. If you write, or sell, a call without owning the equivalent amount of the underlying stock, that is called an uncovered call. If you write the call and you do own the equivalent amount, then it is called a covered call.
