Weekly Option Expiration - March 27

Recently I am more actively selling weekly options. Although there are quick gains to be made, it is a higher risk strategy than I had been using in the past.

I sold seven option positions for March 27 expiration, receiving a total of $1,094.91 premiums. Six of the positions expired worthless. The one exception is HD (Home Depot). When the stock dropped to $112, I bought to close my five short puts for $822.55 and sold five May $110 puts for $1,142.52.

I am adding a few new names to my watch list as I would like to eventually sell ten option positions per week.

The following is a list of my expired option positions. Premiums are the amounts of cash I received after commissions. My option premiums are included as income in my monthly blog posts on the date the income is received.
