May Account Activity

The past month was very profitable for my investment account. This was mainly due to my selling of Jan/16 put options. In previous years, I had sold large amounts of longer dated puts, therefore, resulting in extremely high premium earnings. This year, I decided to focus more on small frequent shorter-term gains, rather than taking higher risks due to uncertainty created by the fear of a possible market correction.

In June, I expect to receive higher dividend income and lower option premiums than in the month of May.

Listed below is my account activity for the month of May.
