Join me as I sit down with Greg Jensen, Founder of OptionsAnimal, and Eric Hale, Founder of Trader Oasis, to break down the foundations of smart options trading. After our last deep dive into the collar strategy, we’re going back to basics to answer the biggest questions every trader faces.

Greg and Eric explain when it’s appropriate to buy long options, why naked calls are among the riskiest trades you can make, and how to think through strategies like short puts vs. covered calls. They also reveal why zero DTE options are attracting retail traders, the hidden dangers behind them, and the adjustments that separate professional traders from gamblers.

In this webinar:

When to buy long calls or puts — and why conviction matters
Why selling options often beats buying them
Naked calls: unlimited risk and real-world horror stories
Covered calls vs. short puts — which strategy really makes sense
The truth about zero DTE options: opportunities vs. catastrophic risks
