1. The long haired guy is one of those guys who doesn't listen to anyone else's opinion. He keeps talking before "Tony" finishes what he's saying. It's kinda rude.
2. lol you did 1 study on 1 stock. calm down
3. Hi,
   
   Instead of a short put strategy, would it be similar to choose a covered call strategy instead?
   If not, would it be much different?
   
   Thanks
4. Great video. Give some interesting insights
5. Why don't you just use both strategies
6. Why does a share price drop by the same amount as the dividend, right after the dividend? I keep hearing that, but it makes no sense, since the price of the stock is determined by supply and demand, which is not affected by the dividend. Or if it is, it's affected upwards, because I as an investor am more likely to buy a stock that pays a dividend.
7. The difference between you and me is that you trust management to manage long term free cash flow better than the shareholders. As a shareholder who receives a dividend, I can remove the capital and place that dividend into a different equity as a form of diversification rather than have it sitting in one company.
8. Very interesting on the ATT, but ATT isn't really a dividend growth company. I wonder if there is more research like this on other companies.
9. I don't agree at all with their statement that you are taking the same risk.  Options can be a form of leverage.  They clearly stated that they chose a bull market.  I agree that the they are investing in the same underlying security, but they didn't show what would happen in a bear market.  Would they get 10x the loss?
