A buyer of a call may exercise his option in order to receive the dividend. If he did so the day before the stock traded "ex-dividend, "the naked call writer might not receive the notice until the next day and he would owe the dividend but he would not receive it on the shares which he purchased to effect delivery against his assignment notice. He would, therefore, be "out" the dividend, thus affecting his profitability. 1, record 1, English, - exercise%20an%20option

Bien entendu, seul un acheteur d'options sur l'or a un droit de levée; un vendeur d'options sur l'or a vendu ce droit à l'acheteur en contrepartie du prix de l'option et il doit vendre l'or (s'il a vendu une option d'achat) ou acheter l'or (s'il a vendu une option de vente), s'il se voit assigner une levée. Par conséquent, une levée suppose en général un profit pour un acheteur d'options sur l'or et peut entraîner une perte pour un vendeur d'options sur l'or. Inversement, l'échéance de l'option peut signifier une perte pour l'acheteur (la perte du prix versé pour l'option) et un profit pour le vendeur (qui a perçu ce prix). 2, record 8, French, - acheteur%20d%27options%20sur%20l%27or

Ces mêmes éventualités (levée, opération de compensation ou échéance) surviennent, que l'investisseur dans les options sur l'or achète des options de vente (comme dans l'exemple ci-dessus) ou des options d'achat, ou encore qu'il vende des options de vente ou des options d'achat. Bien entendu, seul un acheteur d'options sur l'or a un droit de levée; un vendeur d'options sur l'or a vendu ce droit à l'acheteur en contrepartie du prix de l'option et il doit vendre l'or (s'il a vendu une option d'achat) ou d'acheter l'or (s'il a vendu une option de vente), s'il se voit assigner une levée. Par conséquent, une levée suppose en général un profit pour un acheteur d'options sur l'or et peut entraîner une perte pour un vendeur d'options sur l'or. Inversement, l'échéance de l'option peut signifier une perte pour l'acheteur (la perte du prix versé pour l'option) et un profit pour le vendeur (qui a perçu le prix). 2, record 13, French, - vendeur%20d%27options%20sur%20l%27or

The uncovered writer is prepared to take greater risks(in the sense of larger potential cash losses) than the conservative writer in the hope of making larger profits. For this reason "naked writers" must at all times maintain a minimum margin deposit with their broker, based on the market price of the underlying security and exercise price of the option. 3, record 14, English, - uncovered%20writer

Le vendeur non couvert est prêt à prendre des risques plus grands (on entend par là des pertes éventuelles de capital) que le vendeur prudent dans l'espoir de réaliser des gains plus importants. C'est pour cette raison que les vendeurs découverts doivent toujours garder auprès de leur courtier un dépôt minimal de garantie (ou «marge») basé sur le cours du marché de la valeur sous option et sur le prix de levée de l'option. Le vendeur non couvert d'options devrait s'adresser à son courtier pour connaître les exigences quant à ces garanties. 2, record 14, French, - vendeur%20non%20couvert

... a currency options writer should estimate the duration of an expected stable period before selecting an expiration month. Furthermore, the passage of time works against an option buyer and in favor of an option seller. As the time remaining to expiration of an option decreases, the buyer's option contract decreases in value, all other factors remaining unchanged. 3, record 15, English, - currency%20options%20writer
