From Module 1 — read a sample

A call option is the right to BUY a stock at a set price; a put is the right to SELL. You pay a premium upfront for this right — like buying event insurance. If the thing you feared (or hoped for) doesn't happen, you lose only the premium. If it does happen big, your profit can far exceed the insurance cost.
