Yup! Even though this reply is a little bit late, I hope it can still be useful: for forwards/futures, you just entre the contract with no upfront payment, and signing the contract means that you have the OBLIGATION of selling/buying the underlying asset at maturity. However, for options, you do have to pay for the price of it, and it is not a contract, you have the RIGHT BUT NOT OBLIGATION to buy/sell the underlying asset at maturity.

It's so easy to understand. it helps me a lot. Thank you for your great explanation.
Interesting, short and clear!
Very helpful!!
really good content

Only put and call options need premiums, not forwards.
Wow, too good

You're welcome!
short forward at t=0, just meaning the positin, not meaning really 'selling forward', correct? the selling forward only happens at t=T? thanks!

What always got me about this is that its all based on the risk free rate. But who can actually borrow at the risk free rate?
well, If you bought t bills you pretty much borrowed at the risk free rate
