Best explanation I’ve heard of options ever
► Get started with Public: https://public.com/pandrea
In this video, I’ll break down how option contracts work step by step, so even if you’re brand new, you’ll finally understand what options are, how they function, and the four basic trades: buying calls, buying puts, selling calls, and selling puts. We’ll cover real-world examples, stock examples, and the key concepts of strike price, expiration date, and premiums — everything you need to build a strong foundation in options trading.
DUDE! Your break down is major learner friendly thank you!
►In this video you’ll learn:
-What an option contract actually is (explained simply)
Great explanation. I wished it was in spanish so I could show it to my father who Ive been trying to explain options for the past 2 weeks. really clear and to the point.
-The key parts of every option: strike price, expiration date, and premium
-Why 1 option contract always represents 100 shares of stock
I'm not understanding the bid and ask part on my platform🤔
-The difference between buying vs. selling options
-How call options work (with real-world and stock examples)
The buying a car / call option example is brilliant - thank you!
-How put options work (with real-world and stock examples)

Might integrating reverse osmosis units after chemical precipitation stages further concentrate copper ions prior to electrochemical processing?
-When you might use options instead of buying stock directly
-How options can be used for leverage, hedging, income, or speculation
This feels like we are taking the existing money away from other people as someone else has to buy the contract from you at some point for you to be profitable

@mattbianco31You are such a gifted teacher!! I've also got you on repeat. Using cars and houses in your examples brings it all into focus. Thank you so much for all you're doing for us! 👏
@InspiredWorkshopsSubscribed! You're very good at explaining it to layman terms. I was wondering if you can do a video on rolling options, I think its good for traders to know how to roll options especially when they are doing coverall calls or cash secured puts
@rookie907Great video!!
@erinl.4387You're a very good teacher. A lot of repetition and illustration. I just subbed. Thanks

@Jsh465I really appreciate all this information ❤
@lukemarvel1893the best video ever
@4_BillionsGreat presentation--I really like the table outlining all this to keep things straight in my head.
However, there is an error in your table in the 2nd box under Selling Puts. The cash collateral should be $4500 ($45 strike price x 100) since that's the cash collateral one would need if they get assigned and have the obligation to buy the stock at the agreed upon price of $45/share for 100 shares.
good video, but you didn't mention the difference between (sell to close and sell to open) now sell to close what you want to do because sell to open that's very risky for a beginner.
@MotiveGoBigWhen buying a put, does that mean I own the stock, and I am willing to sell at strike price? So if stock goes below strike price, the person I have a contract with, has to buy my stocks at strike price?
@jboy1757Okay this video was my breakthrough! Finally get it!

@OGBillyTheGOATThis video is awesome! I have been searching for someone to explain options. I have watched this video numerous times to understand. I took notes. Now, I have a better understanding of options. Will you please do a video explaining, ATM, OTM, and ITM. I would like to know the advantages. Thank you.
@phoebe966can u do a video trading options for Bitcoin, eth, or any other. Am curious to hear yr thoughts. and also on this software called bookMap. thanks!
@alleyezontheline8349To sell I’m an expert but I’m having problem with buying, so I need to have enough money to buy 100 of stock?
@LucasSilva-nb7wjRealistically, how much could someone make doing this per month with a $20,000 account?
@vernfb5189You are awesome! Thanks for explaining with examples!
@italodisco4all-pc7xzSame things with buying puts...you can make profit as long as the stock option drops below the contract price you purchased at. Not sure why Alex is saying it has to drop below the strike price as that simply isn't true
@ScottFranklin-m3iLove this guy however you can still easily win a buy call option if the stock never reaches the strike price. As long as the options contract price increases after purchase, you can still make profit.
@ScottFranklin-m3iWaiting for next video about other strategies. Thanks sir
