Chapter 12: Options

Build from there to strategies: covered calls limit upside, protective puts create a floor, straddles profit from volatility, spreads limit both gain and loss. The exam tests calculation, not just identification — practice working through gain/loss scenarios with sample premiums and strike prices.
