Great video

0:00 - Call options explained

0:58 - Long call options: Payoff Diagram

Doesn't make much sense. Why use either of these options at all. When you can just invest the $100 without the $10 premium.

So Covered Calls are Short Calls going by these definitions..? The way I learned to do the Wheel is sell Covered Calls when probability favors the underlying security appreciating in value, and Covered Puts when depreciation is favored viz. when you expect it to go down.

This was the best, simple, basic video! Thanks, was very helpful.

Thanks for the explanation. I have a quick question (sorry if it is stupid, Im new to this). Regarding Long Call Option profits, this is assuming the option is EXERCISED. So can we still profit if we sell the option at a higher strike price before expiration?

Great lesson, but..... worst handwriting ever!😂

Thanks a lot for the video, I couldn’t get this topic when a uni professor explained, so I came here :)

I have a small question. When we are talking about short call, what is the nature of the losses below zero: are they real losses (f.e. we need to pay someone) or that losses are like opportunity costs?
