I'll definitely have to watch this a dozen more times for it to sink in. Awesome stuff chief.

[realloreal]

we always need to continue to watch this over and over. This is a process of education. Its not a 1 night thing.

This guy is amazing!!!! No mumble jumble bla bla like some “youtubers” who don’t really understand options themselves and try to use jargon to look “smart” and just confuse people who try to learn. Thank you Mike!!!

Studying for CFA 3 and it recommends selling puts on red instead of simply buying stock. Thought I had a good handle on the basics of options but haven't used them much in practical applications. This really helped.

[jcheri]

You’re the only one who explained it in a way that I could understand ty!

[cornholio]

Thanks explaining option put call/sell....This has helped me because I was about to pull my hair lol

[marklim]

Wow, this is the best explanation I have ever had.

[zType]

This made the most sense compared to other videos, much appreciated.

[rjeremy]

Great video and explanation; nice pace.

Recommended for rookie option traders

[zuku]

A video that finally helped me to understand options

[whosjack]

thank you. y0u have cleared up what i have been telling my other trading friends that buying puts is for the stock to go down. great vid

[lafavini]

One of the simplest best video for beginners like myself. watch it more than once and have a white board to draw this concept so you can get it. take your time until you get it.

[mauricebarnesjr.]

If I have to watch this 100 times to learn it, so be it. It’ll be worth it when I master it 💪🏾

[gondishapur]

Great effort to teach but I have a low attention span for the complexity. I will get it in time though. Thanks.

[whatsnext]

out of 10 youtubers this is the best explained video thanks brother great job!

[raygomez]

I watched a few different youtubers on options and you just explain it so clear. BTW i'm a 1 week old trader (try not to bash) :)

[skyylea]

They should have taught this in school dang.. my overgrown butt had to watch this 5 times to barely get it

[TheDanMartin]

4, 000+ put options were invested in American Airlines days before 9/11 - this is how I got here

[danyz]

This training was recommended by legit sources and I can't see why. I've watched the first video of the series and after 2 minutes of the second video I'm finding myself checking other videos to understand this one. This is not for beginners. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful this is a free course, but I'm also glad I didn't pay for it.

Options makes this 8 minute video feel like its an hour long 😂😩 Thank you for the great info!
