Thank you for the video. I have a question: considering put-call parity, if the implied volatilities of out-of-the-money puts exceed the implied volatilities of out-of-the-money calls at similar distances from the current stock price then necessarily the implied volatility of in the money calls should exceed the implied volatilities of in the money puts at similar distances from the current stock price. Is it right? Thank you very much
Yes, correct according to put-call parity. However with volatility smirks (mostly) we've found empirical evidence that the put-call parity might not hold true. This is where behavioral finance comes in to explain some of those concepts. I hope this helps!
Thanks, the first 10 minutes cleared up volatility skew/smile for CFA level 3
Appreciate
Great effort sir,

You're welcome and good luck on the exam!
