Henry, I think there is a mistake in this example. How can the break even be 781.50 but to double the money you need the price to go to just $713? The strike price was $750 not $650. To double your money, you would need the price to go to $844.50. That's because you add $63 to the breakeven price of $781.50
Hey Henry! great content as always.... I'm very new to options and still learning, but.... @6:04... isn't the stike price $750 from the previous example? And $650 was the current market price.. so shouldn't it be $750+$63 = $813 to double your money?
You are correct!!! Henry's example: TSLA is at $650 and there is a $750 strike price with a $31.50 premium The stock needs to rise to $781.50 ($31.50 premium + $750 strike price) to be break even. The stock needs to rise to $813 ($781.50 + premium of $31.50) to be double profit. This breaks down to the following formula with "X = premium amount "and "Y = strike price" .... 2X + Y = double; 3X + Y = triple; 4X + Y = quadruple; etc. (I think I understand this correctly, if not, please correct me.)
@@jimsherod8786 not exactly. and henry got it wrong too. Dunno why he didn't bother to explain Delta. The delta on that 750 strike price was 0.34. So every dollar move the stock goes up, the option only increases by 34 cents. So in order to double the investment, it's 31.50/0.34 = $92 + 650 = $742. Stock price needs to go to $742 and the option will theoretically be priced for $63. Note this doesn't take into account other option greeks, such as Gamma (which measures change in delta as the stock moves around), theta (which reduces option value as time goes by), and vega (which increases or decreases option value based on relative volatility change). Basically, it's not gonna be exactly $742 to double the option. It could be drastically different prices, depending on how the stock is behaving at a current moment and how much time has passed since the option order was placed.
Hi Everyone. I am new to options and I'm a bit confused on this also. If the premium is $63 that would mean the contract is .63 cents (.63 X 100 shares) right? In this explanation $63 premium plus the strike price of $750 would mean you double your money at $813. With this same formula, if I buy a contract at $1.90, it will cost me $190. If the stick price is $62.00, does that mean I have to get to $252 per share to double my money? Does that sound right? What am I missing here?
Henry misquoted his strike price, yes. Should be $750 strike price at 6:02. @Jim Sherod also misquoted it in his reply. Factoring in the delta calculation in @Jim Sherod’s comment, which was correct, the market needs to push the price to $842 in order to double your money in this example.
It seems to me that one of the secrets to making money in a call option, or at least increasing the chances, is strongly dependent on how much information one has on the underlying stock to be traded. Choosing a high-volatility stock at random may not work so well.
Thanks for your videos. Please make more videos on option video.

God bless you sir! You explain these things so much better than anybody else on TH-cam hands-down. You break it down to very simple terms but not so simple that you don’t get the concept. I’m fairly new to options and I’m starting to understand them. I don’t know if I’m ready for a course but if I bought any horse it would definitely be yours. The breaking down the price to find out where you can 2x 3xor 4X your money Is extremely helpful. I use optioncalculator.com but now I understand how they calculate it. You are the freaking man
3:16-3:18 - You mention that how the option behaves before expiration is very math heavy and that you can do a video on it at some later date if interest is expressed. Did you ever do that video? I'm interested in watching it! Thanks for your great explanations.
No I didn't. It's too technical and going to not be worth my time making on TH-cam unfortunately. I covered it in my private group though if anyone asks about it
@@InvestwithHenry Ok, I understand. Thanks for answering. Great video regardless. Thanks for educating so many of us. I just started selling covered calls this May 2021 and I've made over $4,000 additional money that I would have missed out on without knowing this. I haven't expanded to doing the wheel yet, but I want to also try that! Great series of videos you put out, Henry. Thanks so much.
Awesome video.. I have a video suggestion.. recently I was exploring options like selling covered calls in the money and selling puts out of the money but there are not enough videos n information on TH-cam explaining how it actually works I got to understand the downsides by reading n researching alot but a video will help everyone and since your channel is the best for options trading so why not?
Henry I like your videos...Thank you for educating us..!!. In this video Triple return will be only when price cross $120 = 120 - (100 + 5(Premium)) = 15
Looking at your final example, if your stock price goes to $110, you make profits. What do you have to do to get the profit? Do you then sell the call option? Sorry new to options. How do you close your position to get the profit?
At 5:45 you start talking about doubling your money. But in your explanation, your strike price changes from $750 at the beginning or your example to $650 at one point. Did I miss something? Isn’t your real double the money point $813, and not $713?
Hi Henry! Love your videos, keep ‘em coming! As I’m learning more about the world of options, I’m finding that selling puts is a much more reliable way to make money, rather than buying calls. Is that right?
Wait a second u had just said I will break even at 781. How come when we do the calculation we don't have to care about the premium?? Shouldn't we add it FROM where we break even ?? I meant when we want to see at what price we could double our money or quad our money .
Nice timing .. was searching for options videos haha So if I bought a call, expires tomorrow way out of the money so i do nothing with it - what happens to that contract/position in my account? Is it just scrapped and goes away? having lost what i paid for the contract of course
Hello Henry, thank you x your videos, very informative. I have a question & need clarification if possible. Bought a Put on $42 put on NIO X 4/16/21 $ is now $37.29, so how do I make money on this option? I will really appreciate your answer. Thank you.
Great content,,, but is it true best probability is buy the option on a dip for a call and a high point for a put?? Also is there a coupon code for the daily option subscription?
Hi Henry, I'm enjoying your vids and learning a lot. You really didn't mention timing of the expire and when to sell to take profits. I'm still kind of confused on those points.
Yes, just a typo in his video... the strike price was $750. $750 + $31.50 premium = break even at $781.50. Then at $813 you have 2x your investment. Every time you continue to have the stock go up by the amount of the premium, you add to 3x, 4x, 5x, etc.
How could you not explain delta on a call buying strat? The option does not go up $1 for every $1 a stock goes up, if the delta is 0.34 such as in your TSLA example.
So when it comes time to execute the option that you’ve gotten gains on, do you purchase 100 shares on margin, and then sell the shares, and then pay back the broker? (If you are a small time investor like me) and profit the difference?
MCD 280 January 2021 Calls if they drop to 1.25 per? Would be willing to bet 4% of my small trading account to bank on possible growth to 300 per share or so later this year, any ideas?
Henry , if I join your options academy , do you post stocks that we can buy and sell at a time when u think is right ? Or is it just a class that we learn from and we do our own dd on a stock ?
It's a class however their is a community where I do that for additional monthly membership. You can also check it out on the website top of page. Yearly plan is 50% off with code "100K"
Henry, thank you for this. Super helpful. There's something I need to know, tell me please, if I buy a call option and it reaches the strike price and then above, can I make money without buying those shares? Or do I need to exercise, and buy the shares to realize that profit?
Great content Henry, love it. I got your great course mostly on generating income selling options now I can add another way to generate revenue by buying options Thanks!!!
Something similar happened to me but I didn’t lose money. I traded with nothing to show for it until I contacted a pro broker who trades for me and returns profits
Before even watching this Im gonna hope that he warns of the potential risks involved with playing calls smh. Please don’t ruin our new generation of investors who watch this
Because I know this TH-camr’s style and I was pretty sure that it wouldn’t be made clear that people can literally get wiped out with Options. The title alone is dangerous. No beginner is going to be able to fully digest the risk-reward spread in a 15-minute video. I’m just worried that weak investors such as yourself may get sucked into the notion that Options are this thing that ppl are just overlooking versus something that most ppl stay away from for a reason. Im here to protect you, weak investor. I care about your Charmin role single ply paper handing self, sir. I care.
This guy gives terrible explanation for someone new to call options like me. This is the second video I have seen from Henry, and both are same. Everyone knows, you don't make money until you sell. He keeps on saying all you are investing is the cost of the call. Simply not true. In order to exercise the call, you need to pay for 100 shares at the call price. How can you exercise the call if you don't have all that money in your account? Once I am "in the money" can I sell the call to someone else at a higher price for that person to exercise? How is that price set? Are there really 3 players making this happen?
This is the first time I have been able to understand a P&L graph. TYVM! Very clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful!

I just thought about that. The strike price is 750 not 650. I was about to asked the same thing!
@6:04 strike price is now $650. It was $750. What happened?
Best explanation I've seen yet, many thanks!!
You're very welcome!

Short answer it's bad
Well presented
Is this the same as buying on margin?
Uncle Henry, I can't thank you enough 🙏💐
Is this considered a LEAP?
Will you talk about selling the CALL option itself?
If I’m up on a call if I let it expire, will I collect the profits?
You'll buy 100 shares of the stock. Or if not enough money your broker will close. Either way you benefit.
