In this episode you will learn:

- To calculate breakeven for calls (strike + premium) and puts (strike - premium).

- The covered call breakeven is stock cost minus the premium, with max gain limited to the strike price.

- A protective put's breakeven is stock cost plus the premium, with unlimited maximum gain.

- Straddles have two breakevens (strike +/- total premium), with long straddles profiting from volatility and short straddles from stability.

- For spreads, remember PUSH (Put Subtract from Higher) and CAL (Call Add to Lower) to find breakeven points.
