    OK SB.

    I'm still a bit confused with the "call" and "put" aspect of options, ie. strike and exercise pricing.

    Can I simply go long (my trading style) with a particular option, as I would an ordinary company share, knowing that an option expires by a certain date and has no divvie rights, etc. That is, sell it if it advances a couple of ticks like any other share?

    Cheers.
