If the buyer chooses not to exercise his option, the maximum loss he suffers is the premium he has paid to the write of the contract.<\/p>\n<h3>Option Holder<\/h3>\n<p>option holder is the person who hasn\u2019t exercised or sold the call or put option he has bought. If he is a call option holder he is probably waiting for the price to rise, whereas if he is a put option holder he may be waiting for the price to fall.<\/p>\n<h3>Option Money<\/h3>\n<p>if it is a traded option the the price one pays to buy an option also called premium is termed as option money , .
