Options trading tends to confuse many people, especially people who are new to investing and trading. While there are complex formulas involved in options trading, almost all of that stuff takes place behind the scenes and the person doing the trading doesn’t really need to know any of it. In theory, options are very simple: they are basically a bet that, as of a certain time in the future, the price of a stock will be above or below a specified price (called the strike price).

An option is a contract that gives you the right to buy or sell a stock at a specific price (called the “strike price”), but the catch is there is a specific time limit, too. They expire. Some people like options because you can make (or lose) a lot of money very quickly if you do it right. There are two types of options: “call” options and “put” options. I have no idea why that’s what they are called, but those are the names. Each type of option can be bought or sold (just like with stock). So you can buy a call, sell a call, buy a put, or sell a put. Every option is “worth” 100 shares of stock.

If you are particularly a Ugandan in the diaspora or have awareness of the interest rates in markets such as the US and the UK you will for example know that the Bank of England’s base rate is 0.5%. The Fed rate in the US is presently 0.25%. This is the rate that basically determines lending rates by commercial banks and thus the interest rates they pay on savings. The UK rate for example is not expected to change for say the next 3 years i.e until 2015, I expect the same for the US rate. You can therefore expect that the interest you will receive on your savings will be close to zero. I know a client of mine who had an average current account balance of £1m during the year but were still receiving no interest! The search therefore for investments paying a “good” return is never ending in these challenging times. One option therefore is to consider investing in stocks and bonds on the Uganda Securities Market (USE).
