This video has the most clearest distinguish between buy/see call/put. A lot of videos and explanations fail to distinguish the difference between them. I appreciate the video.

Great video! It answered a lot of my questions! :)

I especially love the visual tools you provide to help students learn about trading strategies. I worked as a financial advisor in the past and can only wish they taught us options trading strategies as simply as you do. I had to learn the hard way, but it would've been much simpler if I found you first! You are really changing the world, Kirk! So glad to have come across your work! :-)

Wow thank you very much Lillian - so great to hear it's helping!

I'm I right to say on the graphic at 4:50, both transactions on the sell side are short transactions and the two on the top are long transactions?
If i'm selling a long call option, would I still have the obligation associated with the option?

[@OptionAlpha]

Yes you would still have the obligation but it's "covered" by the long option you purchase.

Great explanation
