Understanding Calls and Puts

thanks for the video, I still want to learn more about calls and puts

but let's say you buy 1 put at 20 dollars a share and have 100 shares of msft… and the value goes to 50 dollars a shirt 6 months from now on, do i sell it at 20 dollars or 50 dollars? if you hope the stock to go down, how does the put option increase in value?

I'm surprised this video only has 300k views made in 2012.. not that mny people play the market?

lets say i want to make calls and puts right now. what do i need? I have money

k so what software do i need to make this happen?

but what if your broker doesn't support the presale hours between 4am and 7:30 am for pre market hours?

how would your call and put work if those values happen during times your broker doesn't support?

start a CALL when expecting line to go up, start a PUT when expecting the line to go down. got it.
/they should've used other words, like DOOR and BROOM, would make as much sense as this/

2:30 minutes in and the basic idea has already been explained better than my professor did in a two hour class. Jesus fucking christ

Thanks.

"A call is basically the same thing as a put, but opposite of it" ……… …. .. . . .. .. . .. ?

Do you always have a buyer for the put or call?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FINALLY UNDERSTANDDD

Your welcome!

Hello. I have a question if you could help. I trade on questrade. I purchase 10 options for a stock at 1.50$ per 100. It was a 2019 january 1st expiration strike 16. I checked today and it says i have 10@ 0 average. And my p&l is is green 150$. What does that mean? I dodnt sell them yet. But under it says 0.15.???? Please help

whatever happened to you buysell a stock and get the price it lands at the end of the trading day

good lesson.. easy to understand.

Dammmm…that was so simple to understand. Thank you SIR!

LFIN at $70. Buy a long term Deep OTM put LFIN strike $10 for pennies to the dollar extremely cheap (maybe $0.05?) It actually did drop all the way to $8 in 3 days. Now if you bought 500 PUT contracts for $2500 and the put becomes ITM… (option price $5) HAHA That would maybe be a 10000% gain. That's $2.5 Million in 3 days.

Can you buy puts if you don't own the stock? Like just to sell the contract later?

Explained simply. Very nice.

I don't get the whole Options theory, its like grasping thin air. Your paying for an Option to buy/sell shares at a certain price, yet there's no intention to ever own them, just trading contracts that are based on speculation of future price movement.

He looks like Jesse from Breaking Bad

So when someone buys a put option, they don't own the shares?

Can you explain buy to open
Buy to close
Sell to open
Sell to close
Please

Very helpful

sasha evdakov——CALL UP OR PUT DOWN…FOR EXAMPLE CALL UP JOHN.. PUT DOWN THE DOG

Thanks so much sir.

Why would anyone by the out option of the price is way below what they would buy it for? Like do you have to honor a put? I understand you have to right to sell if you want, but what if the buyer doesn’t want to buy?

Sasha, what is the best option's book you ever read. I took your options courses and I consider myself intermediate options trader. I will be very happy to here from you. I have read three books at least about option.

I have a question how much would a call cost compared to the current price of the stock? Also do people usually not use the contrsct and instead they just sell the contract basically!

If I buy a put for one contract at a strike price of $10 and the stock is trading at $12 at the time and the put contract expires in three months and the stock tumbles to $5 in one month can I sell my put option before the put contract expires? Thank you.

Calls and puts -the sure shot way to get bankrupt …

OMG, thanks a lot..

what is the best platform to trade options?

thank you!! you made it easier

Ok

do i need a margin account to do puts and calls?

Why would someone buy your put. So, if I have 100 shares at 100$, with a put at 80$, and the stock drops to 60, why would I be able to sell my shares at 80 still? Why would anyone buy by 80$ share over the open price of 60$ per share

thanks

very well explained

how many stocks can u buy or sell with the contract?

my question is how long does the buy and put options last?

Hi, great video! I'm now learning about options. I have a few dumb questions. Why and who would purchase stock above the market price? And who sells the stock below the market price? Are these transactions with the broker or the company? I'm unsure of the parties in these transactions. Thanks.

so puts are how people make money off of shorting?

A call is an option to buy a stock. As the stock price goes up the value of the call goes up ie the demand to own that call option or the option to buy stock increase. So in other words as stock becomes more expensive your right to buy this stock at a strike price determined by the call option cause the value of the option to increase.
An option to sell or put option allows the seller the right but not the obligation to sell a stock at a predetermined price. If the stock price drops the put option increases because you can still sell this stock at a higher price.
Option values are determined by 4 factors :1.volalitly in the market2.time to expiration 3 . stock price4.strike price5.interest rates

I was having trouble with the difference between the two, but you perfectly explained that difference. Thanks a ton!

how you explain long put and short put?

Great video. you explained it very well

Do you know where I can get a qauility stock screener
