Jenna - I feel dumb asking this question -- but here goes. I wanted to buy some options yesterday (for the first time), but stopped because I didn't understand my order choices. I found the symbol, the month and the price just fine -- but placing the order was a different story. I've been searching the net since then and can't find the answer -- only offers of subscriptions.

Question:
What are the definitions of:
- Buy to Open
- Buy to Close
- Sell to Open
- Sell to Close

Thanks for any help on this!
M

VRIO--I've been adding shares this week, holding 400 for long term. Definitely not a day trade for me.
