1. 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?
2. 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! :-)
3. Great video! It answered a lot of my questions! :)
