Great reply. Thanks again!

No problem. The tricky part to wrap your head around is that, unlike buying stocks, derivatives (like options) are a zero sum game. That means that in every exchange there is a set of winners and a set of losers. 
  
 Buying stocks is not like that, because an exchange doesn’t doesn’t necessarily have a “loser” because you’re just trading (money for stocks, or vice versa)— not betting against each other.
