Expiration date definition

Expiration date is a date when Call or Put options expire. If you own a Call option to buy say ABCD at $10/share, you have the right (but not obligation) to exercise this option (and buy ABCD for $10/share) any time until the Expiration date. After the Expiration date your call option no longer gives you any rights and becomes worthless.
