Stock Options: Difference in Buying and Selling a Call or a Put

What's the difference between selling a call and buying a put?

Hi sasha
How can I get the think or swim software ? Is it free ? It’s gonba help me a lot
Thankyou

I'm still confuse

oh, head spin! I need to watch this a few more times.

Very nice tutorial and done at slow pace with actual stimulator screen. Great job,

very good video…..

best thing is not to listen to people like you.

Sell a put is like you acting like as a insurance company….. where you collect premium and wait… before expiration if stock goes up… the person who bought the put from you will not cliam anything as he is safe since his stock went up and you get to keep the premium he paid for you…… but before expiration if stock goes down… the person who bought the put when you sold … he will claim to you that stock gone down can you pay me the difference …. i better understood this concept after watching video …. thanks SHASHA EVDAKOV

Absolutely confusing video

This is the most confusing video on Options I've ever seen. There are much better ones…………..

If I want to buy a hundred shares of a certain stock on sale I whould want to use a put option correct and if it goes up on the other person I’m still able to get it at a discount right that what I’ve been reading

I love your videos Sasha. Well done. I like the way you use real life trading software within the broker platform as a visual aid. Daniel

washed off all my concepts

Very, very confusing. No mention of what the basic intentions are.

Just show a regular chart stop talking extremes more confused than ever!!?

If you sell a put and things don't go in your favour, can you get rid of it (to cut your loss short) before the expiration?

Nice video

I''m not sure you are using the term 'unlimited down side' correctly. Losing all your money isn't unlimited down side. Buying a short on a stock and having it go up to some unlimited value is unlimited.

This actually helped me a lot, thank you.

To sell a call or buy a put, do you have to be holding the stock or is it just a contract?

VERY CONFUSING

why would buyers of put options want stock prices to go down

Great Stuff

hi nice video.. quick question.. if I "buy to open" a option for strike price 45$ expiring 3 months later and "sell to close" option next week if stock reaches 47$ .. i know I get the profits but do I still need to buy the 100 stocks if I don't want to? thanks

not direct to the point.. sorry

can you explain a deep in the money call option

great job explaining thank you

Very badly explained. I can see why everyones confused

Lol, tesla is over 300 rn

This video make me more confusing….

Sasha;

Here is what I am not understanding. A person buys a call option, they expect the stock to rise, say the strike price is $50 and in 60 days the stock goes to $80. The call buyer paid a $200 premium and the contract is for 100 shares. After 60 days, the buyer collects $30 X 100 = $3000 minus $200 for the premium. That a $2800 return in 60 days.

WHO PAYS THE BUYER HIS $2800?

Is the person who SOLD him the option shelling out $2800 from their own trading acct?

what I'm confused about is how much do you lose? if it cost me $970 is that the maxim I will lose? I'm cool with losing my investment but losing more than that can be chaotic

Need your help with black scholes approach and how to work out delta gamma etc asap

Thx

Dude… you are really smart!!

Good grief. This is the most convoluted explanation of the differences between calls and puts. Beginners will be utterly confused by this and seasoned traders will find no value add in this. While this is doubtless a worthwhile effort, the presentation of the material needs to be streamlined to attain a baseline level of clarity.

When you say unlimited gain do you mean within time frame? What is confusing me, do you have to buy the stock at the end of time frame option on a put or a call when your out of the money or does the option expire and your out?

I've watched maybe 10 videos on understanding calls and puts (of other people) and then discovered your videos. You're the first one to explain this properly. Thank you!!

That actually confused me more then I already was…
