December Account Activity

December was a less active month for my investment account. Although my dividend income was strong, I did not generate large option premiums. The week prior to expiration, I closed two out-the-money positions in fear of a margin call. In mid December. my margin fell to -$4,200; I chose not to cover it because the market began to grind higher. I did not receive a margin call from my broker. In the future, I will not cover unless it is -$5,000 or lower.

I will be travelling to Australia and New Zealand February 7 - March 2; therefore, I will not open large option positions prior to my vacation.

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