Granulocytes, specifically neutrophils, help the body fight bacterial infections. The number of granulocytes in the body usually increases when there is a serious infection. People with a lower number of granulocytes are more likely to develop bad infections more often.
Congrats on a sick trade. If the buyout happens before the options expiration, you can exercise your options for stock, purchase the stock at $28.00, and sell the shares for $40.00 and make $12.00 per share (less the price of the options). Realistically, the value of the call option will go up to $12.00+ and you can just sell the option.
So far in our previous housing example, we bought an option hoping that the price of the house will go up. That is actually just one type of option, called a Call Option. One reason why investors like buying stock options is because you can profit from them whether your stock goes up in price, or down. This differs from buying normal stocks, where you only make money when your stock goes up in price. This is because there are various types of options in the market, to suit the needs of different investors. The 2 simplest forms are the Call Option, which we mentioned above, and its opposite, Put Options.
