Option Expiration- May 8, 2015

May 8 expiration went very well. I collected option premiums totalling $1,126.88. I did not need to close or take assignment on any of my positions.

I am not sure if I like my new option strategy. Ten option positions per week may be more time consuming than I had initially anticipated. I plan to continue this pattern for awhile and see how it goes.

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
