Can u kindly do something on buying puts and selling puts

[@sethwebb3578]

Wow. I first started watching your videos in peak covid while i was homeless. 3 to 4 years later, I return to your channel as it is part of my intro to investments class. Thank you!!!!!

[@gameplayparadiseofficial]

I learned covered calls last year and watched many other videos. This video by far is the most clear and easiest to understand. Awesome for newbies that are interested. The inverse version of Covered Calls is Cash Secured Puts. Good stuff Brian!

[@JC-li8kk]

So for example you think Ford has a floor of $11 & won’t go below $11. You would want to buy a cash secured put when Ford gets close to $11 with a strike price at or below $10? Or is it possible to buy a cash secured put with a strike price of $10.85 while Ford is trading at $14? The premium won’t be much though?

[@FoodieQueenBee]

@@JC-li8kkcash secured put is profitable on bullish market imo

[@zo3821]

Sell a call = bearish Buy a call = bullish Buy a put = bearish Sell a put = bullish

[@gunarssonbilly.]

Your teaching skills are top notch. Was already on the verge of quitting trading because I once saw it as a luck game. I'm glad to be very profitable now and I bought my first house through trade and not salary. Trading requires consistency and perseverance there's always win at the end of the tunnel if you focus.

[@Rechealhendarson]

Great congratulation 🎊

[@jk.5803]

Congratulations dear honestly you really got me the moment you said you once saw it as a luck game, Truth be told i still see it that way till date and hopefully someday i will be very profitable i'm encouraged

[@Missandrew88]

Big win!! Keep it up, Perseverance and consistency remains one of the key factors to profitable trade.

[@gunarssonbilly.]

​@@Missandrew88Got it!! I so much saw it as a luck game in the past especially using demo or paper account you keep winning soon as you put in real money loses begins. I understand that feelings I'm glad I overcame all that and now I'm profitable.

[@aibai-d5u]

Awesome!!

[@delsolanki21]

Best, concise , clear, unambiguous explanation of covered calls.

[@donaldjaggersjr]

Hi Brian! My parents never gave me any guidance, I have 3 parents and all 3 are loosers in everything they do. Left home at 17 yrs old. Honestly! You've giving me only great guidance and I do appreciate it and look foward to more of your intelligence. Im 62 yrs old and is retired. I wish I knew you back in the 70's. I would have succeeded decades ago. Because of you, I got into Crypto in 2021 and I'm now learning how to play stocks. I now have a great future to look forward too. But as I always say! Better late then never! Thank you so much for effort and sharing your knowledge with us. 😊

[@clearvaluetax9382]

I’m happy to hear things are going well Donald! That is great!

I bet Brian was a kid back in the 70s.

[@canonfodder808]

Love this video. So thankful for the teachers heart you have. I am unable to attend your webinars due to work scheduling so these videos are very mch appreciated!

[@Arika_VR]

Brian, you are the best teacher. No one explains like you do.

[@kuanhhuang]

Great Video! Instead of picking individual stock, you can also trade well-diversified ETF, such as SPY and QQQ. They are less volatile. i.e less premium but more stable. They are kind of expensive though.

[@Kevin-sr8yx]

This is great! Seems like it's best to buy options with a long duration, execute the contract when it makes sense, then sell a call option with a shorter duration.

[@UziGameGP]

Pretty much

[@andriibiletskyi6479]

Best explanations I've ever heard! Thank you!

[@LifeChangingWealth]

This was truly an amazing video, but can you explain the tax implications of when those securities get sold? If the options are exercised and you are required to sell them to someone else do you have to pay capital gains on the sale of those securities? Also, do you pay short term capital gains on the income generated from the sale of the contract?

[@uno2go]

This is one of the best explanations I've found in YT for CCs. Here is an honest question, looking for an honest answer:

[@johnhwang6096]

Very clear explanation. Thank you.

[@downtownPatna]

Thanks for the education! Can you discuss tax implications of income from covered calls? Is it better to sell covered calls from tax deferred accounts?

Is there any chance you do dividends investing for beginners? Also, since you're a CPA, it would help to know potentially tax implications. 😊

[@wuggou]

Hi Brian, does your broker still sell off your shares at the end of the contract if the contract ends up being worthless or do you keep the shares with an unrealized loss?

[@clearvaluetax9382]

If the contract you sold ends up being worthless, you still hold your shares. The contract you sold disappears. And you keep the money that you received for selling the contract.

[@wuggou]

Thanks for clarifying!

[@zo3821]

Make sure you’re buying stock by selling cash covered puts 😊

[@clearvaluetax9382]

My put video is next. Then cash secured puts.

[@zo3821]

@@clearvaluetax9382 you may also want to explain, if applicable, it was for me, that brokers may require $20k in value (cash and/or stock) and a margin account in order to buy and sell calls and puts. This may apply for other brokers as well. I’m with TD.

[@undivided_unified]

this is a great explanation and revealing that the stock market is just speculative gambling and nothing else

[@IsaacC20]

@17:35 Also, don't sell call options on days where the stock price is low - because the buyers will also tend to not pay as much for the option. Sell call options when the underlying stock price is high - the premiums will tend to be high. That way, if the stock price falls again, the call option will be worth less and you can buy the same call option to close your position. Since you sold the call option for more than you bought it back for, you profit from the difference in premium price.
