## Caption

Options trading for beginners starts here. Episode four of Where Do I Start covers the two fundamental building blocks of the entire options market: long calls and long puts. Every strategy you will ever trade is built from these two pieces.

Dr. Jim Schultz walks through both using real live examples on McDonald's for the call and Amazon for the put, showing the profit-loss diagram at expiration, what the break even looks like, what unlimited gain potential actually means, and why the long side of an option feels so intuitive at first but might not be as attractive once you understand probability and decay. Episode five covers the short side.
