Great video! The (small) issue I noticed was that the normal and not the log-normal distribution was plotted. S being log-normally distributed implied log-returns are normally distributed, and what was said applied better to log-returns. At any rate, thanks you so much for posting. I love all your FRM videos!

Thank you for the appreciation, Charles. The plot is indeed meant to be for the log normal distribution, I guess the free-hand drawing didn't do much justice to the intended distribution :)

Very helpful video. Thank you. On the Volatility smile graph (for bullish markets), I guess the video does not explain on why the In-the-money calls have an Implied Vol (IV) that is so much higher than the At-the-money calls. Would you be able to explain briefly, please?

If market have the sentiment that stock will go down in futre, investors will sell ITM calls to earn much elevated premium and hence demand of such ITM calls increases.
