albaby,
It's not a silly quesion. They are not options such as you would have over bhp, cba and other coy's in the "option market". In that market one writes or creates an option, or others do, and then those options are traded on the options market.
PENOC and PENOA are company issued options. They have a life, and are traded on the ASX as regular shares are.
e.g PENOA shortly expires and then the folk who own that have the right to buy PEN shares for whatever it says on the PENOA documents. I don't know. A few cents. But soon.
PENOC is a longer dated option , some years, same deal though, in a few years.
The reason I bought PENOC was that I didn't want to have to put up any more money any time soon, like the poor PENOA indigents will be soon doing. If the share price falls they will be in a difficult situation soon. If it rises they will be laughing. I'm punting if it rises, PENOC will too.
PENOC were cheaper for some reason known only to hangseng and other PEN tragics, tea leaf readers, and godbothering loons.
It's a punt. If I win, I win. If I lose it's not the end of the world. I'll just have a good drop from a cheap cask and a cigar, and examine my reasons for buying PENOC, so that if I win, I might be able to repeat the process, and if I lose, I won't do it again.
btw, ASF is the place to ask questions, and ask them before you put your hardearned out.
I read, believe it or not, more than I post on ASF and it is worth a barrow load of books by so called experts. Since I began reading ASF I am now much richer.
gg
Sorry for another noob question but, I cant seem to find any info about these options (maybe im looking in the wrong place)
How do i exercise the options when i want to?
Where can i find out more info about how these options work (ie ex price and option premium)
Thanks in advance!
