1. Whats the difference between Buying a Put and Selling a Call?
   Great vids by the way!
2. This video is just like every other video I've seen on this subject. I think it would be a better idea if you did something like actually showing people how to apply certain concepts instead of telling them how it works.
   There's a big difference. I know this because I am new. I understand the concepts from every video I've watched but I still don't know how to apply them correctly.
   
   For instance...Some say that the strike price is the price you're betting it will go to and other say its the price predetermined where you will buy at.
   
   With that in mind, here's the confusing part for me. for a call....If its the set price I want to buy at then how come on the options page to buy options. There is a price lower than the market price, and their isn't one at the market price, and why are there ones way over the market price? Wouldn't I want to buy the option at market price in hopes that it will raise and sell it at the higher price later? Also if it's the price i'm betting it will go to wouldn't I want to buy at the strike price higher than the market price?
3. I remember when I first started trading stocks and saw Rachel's interview on CNBC back in 2013. She's a great inspiration and I think she is hanging with the right crowd to succeed in trading. So glad to see these educational videos she's part of now. I love trading and wish I could be part of something like this...haha.
4. These video lessons are way better than the WDIS videos Tom and Case did together.  Tom really confused things.
