1. An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price on or before a specified date.
2. Options have both buyers and writers, with buyers paying premiums for the rights conveyed and writers receiving premiums in exchange for taking on obligations.
3. The key factors that determine an option's premium are the underlying asset's price, the strike price, time to expiration, and expected volatility.

Forward market, arbitrage, hedging and speculationMohit Singhal
Covers various aspects related to forward market, forward rate, long and short forward position, arbitrage, hedging and speculation along with various illustrative examples.
Options are a type of derivative security. They are a derivative because the price of an option is intrinsically linked to the price of something else. Specifically, options are contracts that grant the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell an underlying asset at a set price on or before a certain date. The right to buy is called a call option and the right to sell is a put option. People somewhat familiar with derivatives may not see an obvious difference between this definition and what a future or forward contract does. The answer is that futures or forwards confer both the right and obligation to buy or sell at some point in the future. For example, somebody short a futures contract for cattle is obliged to deliver physical cows to a buyer unless they close out their positions before expiration. An options contract does not carry the same obligation, which is precisely why it is called an “option.”

Introduction to AI for Nonprofits with Tapp NetworkTechSoup
Dive into the world of AI! Experts Jon Hill and Tareq Monaur will guide you through AI's role in enhancing nonprofit websites and basic marketing strategies, making it easy to understand and apply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Options
An Option is a contract which gives the right,
but not an obligation, to buy or sell the
underlying at a stated date and at a stated
price.
While a buyer of an option pays the premium and
buys the right to exercise his option, the writer
of an option is the one who receives the option
premium and therefore obliged to sell/buy the
asset if the buyer exercises it on him.
3. A typical options transaction
On July 1, 2006, 'A' sells a call option (right to
buy), with strike price of Rs.500, which expires
after one month on "ABC Ltd." to 'B' for a price of
say Rs.3.00.
Now 'B' has the right to approach 'A'
on July 31, 2006 and buy 1 share of "ABC Ltd." at
Rs.500. Here Rs.3.00 is called the option price,
Rs.500 is the exercise price and July 31, 2006 is
called the expiration date.
4. A typical options transaction
'B' does not have to necessarily buy 1 share of
"ABC Ltd." on July 31, 2006 at Rs.500 from 'A'.
'B' may find it worthwhile to exercise his right
to buy only if "ABC Ltd." trades above Rs.500.
If "B” exercises his option, A has to necessarily
sell "B“ one share of "ABC Ltd." at Rs.500 on
July 31, 2006. So if the price of "ABC Ltd." goes
above Rs.500 'B' may exercise his option, or
else the option may lapse. Then 'B' loses the
original option price of Rs.3.00 and 'A' has
gained it.
5. What is the underlying for an
Option?
Options can be traded on any underlying like
individual stocks, Indices etc. NSE introduced
trading in S&P CNX Nifty Options from June 4,
2001 and options on individual securities
from July 2, 2001.
6. How Nifty options would help an
investor?
Nifty options allows the investor to trade a large
segment of the equities market with one decision
and thus provide a different perspective and new
dimension to investing in equities.
Nifty options help the investors in reflecting their
views on the market-bullish, bearish or neutral,
in planning their investment strategies and
thus trade efficiently.
7. Who should trade in Options?
Investors belonging to the following categories,
depending on their financial goals and investment
objectives generally consider trading in options.
Investors who want to participate in the market
without trading or holding a large stock portfolio.
Investors who have strong views on the market and
its future movement and want to take advantage of
the same
Investors who are following the equities market
very closely
Investors who want to protect the value of their
diversified equities portfolio
8. Why should one trade in
Options?
Buying options can be compared to buying
insurance.
For example to cover the risk of burglary, fire, etc. you
buy insurance and pay premium. In the event of any
untoward happening, the insurance cover
compensates you for the losses.
Otherwise, the insurance cover expires after the
specific period of time. The insurance premium is
the cost for the cover. Similarly, in the case of
options, the right to buy or sell the underlying is
acquired by payment of a premium.
9. Why should one trade in
Options?
This affords protection against a general fall in
market and thus can be attractive to various
investors including Mutual Funds, who may like to
bundle Nifty funds with Nifty options.
The option could be exercised in the event of adverse
market movement. Otherwise, the option will expire
after the specific period. The cost of the option, i.e.
the premium, is paid at the time of purchase.
There is no further loss that is generated by the option
for the buyer. This feature of option makes it
attractive for the market participants.
11. Calls options
“Calls” give the buyer the right but not the
obligation to buy a given quantity of the
underlying asset, at a given price on or
before a given future date.
12. Puts options
“Puts” give the buyer the right, but not the
obligation to sell a given quantity of
underlying asset at a given price on or
before a given future date. All the options
contracts are settled in cash.
13. Type of exercise
Options are classified based on type of exercise
American Option - American options are
options contracts that can be exercised at any
time up to the expiration date. Options on
individual securities available at NSE are
American type of options.
European Options - European options are
options that can be exercised only on the
expiration date. All index options traded at NSE
are European Options.
14. Options products available for
trading at NSE

on Single stocks.
Presently options contracts on the following
products are available at NSE:
1. Indices : Nifty 50, CNX IT Index, Bank Nifty

depth of the market, available information, etc.
18. Opening & Closing transaction
Opening transaction a purchase or a sale transaction
by which a person establishes or increases a
position either as the holder or the writer of an
option.
Closing transaction a transaction by which a person
reduces or cancels out previous position either as
the holder or the writer of that option. For example,
an investor, at some point prior to expiration, may
make an offsetting sale of an identical option, if he is
an option holder or make an offsetting purchase of
an identical option, if he is an option writer.
19. Long and short
Long refers to a position as the holder of an

20. Why should one trade in Options
Options trading will be of interest to those

or holding a large quantity of stock.
2) Protect their portfolio by paying small
premium amount.
21. In- the- money options (ITM)
An in-the-money option is an option that would lead
to positive cash flow to the holder if it were
exercised immediately.
A Call option is said to be in-the-money when the
current price stands at a level higher than the strike
price.
If the Spot price is much higher than the strike price, a
Call is said to be deep in-the-money option. In the
case of a Put, the put is in-the-money if the Spot
price is below the strike price.
22. At-the-money-option (ATM)
An at-the money option is an option that
would lead to zero cash flow if it were
exercised immediately.
An option on the index is said to be “at-the-
money” when the current price equals the
strike price.
23. Out-of-the-money-option (OTM)
An out-of- the-money Option is an option that would
lead to negative cash flow if it were exercised
immediately.
A Call option is out-of-the-money when the current
price stands at a level which is less than the strike
price.
If the current price is much lower than the strike price
the call is said to be deep out-of-the money. In case
of a Put, the Put is said to be out-of-money if current
price is above the strike price.

29. FEW BASIC STRATEGIES
Example:
Current Nifty is 5880. You buy one contract (lot size 50) of Nifty near
month calls for Rs.20 each. The strike price is 5900. The premium
paid by you : (Rs.20 * 50) Rs.1000. Given these, your break-even
Nifty level is 5920 (5900+20). If at expiration
Nifty advances to 5974, then
Nifty expiration level 5974
Less Strike Price 5900
Option value 74.00 (5974-5900)
Less Purchase price 20.00
Profit per Nifty 54.00
Profit on the contract Rs. 2,700 (Rs. 54* 50)
31. FEW BASIC STRATEGIES
Example:
Current Nifty is 5880. You buy one contract (lot size 50) of Nifty near
month puts for Rs.17 each. The strike price is 5840. The premium paid
by you will be Rs.850 (17*50). Given these, your break-even Nifty
level is 5823 (i.e. strike price less the premium). If at expiration Nifty
declines to 5786, then
Put Strike Price 5840
Nifty expiration level 5786
Option value 54 (5840-5786)
Less Purchase price 17
Profit per Nifty 37
Profit on the contract Rs.1850 (Rs.37* 50)
32. FEW BASIC STRATEGIES
Use Put as a portfolio Hedge?
Assumption: You are concerned about a
downturn in the short term in the market
and its effect on your portfolio. The portfolio
has performed well and you expect it to
continue to appreciate over the long term
but would like to protect existing profits or
prevent further losses.
Possible Action: Buy Nifty puts.
33. FEW BASIC STRATEGIES
Example:
You hold a portfolio of 5000 shares of ABC Ltd. Ltd. valued at Rs. 10
Lakhs (@ Rs.200 each share). Beta of ABC Ltd. is 1. Current Nifty
is at 4250.
You wish to protect your portfolio from a drop of more
than 10% in value (i.e. Rs. 9,00,000). Nifty near month puts of strike
price 3825 (10% away from 4250 index value) is trading at Rs. 2. To
hedge, you buy 5 puts, i.e. 250 Nifties, equivalent to Rs.10 lakhs*1
(Beta of ABC Ltd) /4250 or Rs. 1000000/4250.
The premium paid by
you is Rs.500, (i.e.250 * 2). If at expiration Nifty declines to 3500,
and ABC Ltd. falls to Rs.164.70, then
34. FEW BASIC STRATEGIES
Put Strike Price 3825
Nifty expiration level 3500
Option value (per Nifty) 325 (3825-3500)
Less Purchase price (per Nifty) 2
Profit per Nifty 323
Profit on the contract Rs.80,750 (Rs.323* 250)
ABC Ltd. shares value Rs.8,23,500
Profit on the Nifty put contracts Rs.80,750
Total value Rs.9,04,250
Rs. 9,04,250 is approx. 10% lower than the original value of the
portfolio. Without hedging using puts the investor would have lost
more than 10% of the value.
35. Risks associated with trading in
Options
Example 3.
An investor buys 100 Nifty call options at a strike
price of Rs. 4000 on June 15. Nifty index is at
4050. Premium paid = Rs. 10,000 (@Rs. 100
per call X 100 calls).
Expiry date of the contract is June 26
On June 26, Nifty index closes at 3900.
The call will expire worthless and the investor
losses the entire Rs.10,000 paid as premium.
36. Risks associated with trading in
Options
Example 2.
An investor buys 100 ABC Ltd. put options at a
strike price of Rs. 400 on June 15. ABC Ltd.
share price is at 380. Premium paid =
Rs. 5,000 (@Rs. 50 per put X 100 calls).
Expiry date of the contract is June 26
On June 26, ABC Ltd. shares close at Rs. 410.
The put will expire worthless and the investor
losses the entire Rs. 5,000 paid as premium.
