FuturesBuzz.com - Options Information - Futures or Options?
FYI - tells you the differences between futures contracts and options contracts...
While futures offer price protection by allowing the holder of a futures contract to lock in a price level, a major appeal of options is that the holder of an options contract is afforded price protection, but still has the ability to participate in favorable market moves. Because the buyer of an options contract has the options contract but not the obligation to perform, he incurs no expenses beyond the initial premium. Therefore, if the market moves against a position, and a trader holds on to this option, the maximum cost is the price he has already paid for the option.
