I am in Hong Kong and would like to find out if there is anyone out there who can help me - Can I patent or copyright an idea/theme ? It is available in other parts of the world for a long time( the first time i noticed it anywhere was..10 years ago). Until now, no one has even attempted. I wonder if i could patent or copyright the idea and try my luck.

Bear in mind - it is not something new and it is out there and i believe in my heart of hearts that it will be very successful, but i dont want to get ripped off by someone with more money and resourses and steal my idea.

Since no one has thought of it .... its seems fair that i have the first shout at it.

I really wish that someone could help me with this.

Thanx

For example, I purchased a call at $1 with with a $40 strike price with 6 months before expiration and the current underlying stock price per share that is say $25.
Say in 3 months the stock ramps up to $35 and the option is now worth $5. I decided to sell in the in 3 months before chancing a decline with 3 months left.
When I sell, does the clearing house have to purchase it back? Is the writer of the call obligated to pay even if it never hit the strike price? Or is it market makers purchasing the option?
I just do not understand this point in technically who is paying me off in this type of example as I rarely wait it out until I have lost all time value?
Thank you in advance!!

I ordered a product for my car that I am supposed to lease for a period of six months. The product was sent straight to the installer and was installed. I received the lease in the mail that I am supposed to sign and mail back to them. However, I do not like the product and want to return it. Do I still have to abide by the lease agreement even though I have not signed the lease and mailed it back to them?

I know it seems stupid, but I heard there was one fund that you can buy shares and basically you'll be investing in a way that follows warren buffet and get maybe 18-20% return less than Warren Buffet, but more than you would have done on your own. Is it true?

I need to know your answer.
