Recently, I began to focus more on creating short-term income through option premiums, rather than selling longer duration puts to obtain shares of quality companies on a pullback. I changed my strategy for two reasons: 1) to avoid obtaining an extremely high number of shares in the event of a long-term down market (fortunately that scenario did not occur) 2) there is a high risk of receiving too many shares of a particular company in a downward trend (for example Baytex Energy). With my new strategy, I plan to roll my larger positions and to take assignment of my smaller ones.
I report my total gains and losses incurred through option trading in my blog posts each month of my account activity.
I currently have a total of 86 open option positions (81 puts, 5 calls). They are listed below alphabetically under their expiration date.
Premiums are the amount of money I receive after commissions.
