November Account Activity

November was a more profitable month than October for my investment accounts. My option premium income was higher; I was able to roll my losing trades for a credit; I felt zero stress and had no margin issues.

I made a new stock purchase. I bought 200 shares of Inter Pipeline Ltd to transfer into my Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) in January. I will make the transfer after market hours at the low of that day and enrol the DRIP (dividend reinvestment Plan) to receive a 5% discount on the purchase of new shares.

Listed below is my account activity for the month of November:

  1. Love your blog. Is your goal to sell puts let them expire but if ITM you will roll or let them be assigned and then collect dividend and sell calls against the position? I am not sure if you buy back for a loss puts that go against you, I don't think you do.

    1. Hi Shelly, Glad you enjoy my blog. My goal is to generate income through dividends and option premiums. If the options are ITM, I will roll to a future expiration for a credit on or shortly before their expiration. I seldom take assignment, especially my puts. Although I have sold calls in the past, It is not a significant part of my strategy. Calls are often difficult to roll; I dislike losing my stocks because doing so reduces my dividend income; and there are tax consequences as well.

      Thanks for your comments and your kind words.
