Month: January 2020

Back on 1/13/20 I bought 200 shares of Apple (AAPL) at $313.65. When I bought I also sold a $317.50 Call. This was a 4 day Call. On Friday 1/17 that Call expired and I was assigned at $317.50 making $770 on the stock and keeping the $500 premium. On 1/21 I bought another 200 […]

A few days ago I sold 1000 shares go Inseego (INSG) with a $2700 profit. In the post reporting that trade I said I’ll be back in INSG very soon. Well, today I’m back in. I jumped out on Monday because the market was moving down, and I was worried about where the market was […]

I own 200 shares of Apple (AAPL) to sell Calls against. I also own shares that are in my Wealth Builder’s Pillar of Strength Portfolio. I decided not to sell Calls against my 200 shares. I figured it’s only Tuesday. To get a decent premium with the stock in the $317.50 area I would have […]

On 1/13/20 I bought 1000 shares of Micron (MU). Last week I sold a 10 contract Call for a $550 premium and wasn’t assigned. I wanted to sell a Call yesterday but all stocks were down and I couldn’t get a good premium. Today we’re having a bit of a bounce back. With MU up […]

I’ve been worried about today the entire weekend. The coronavirus is growing in China and we have a few cases in the U.S. I think the world health organization will get this under control but I was worried about the panic it could cause with the markets. China is already closing many public arenas, like […]

I’ve had better weeks but this past week was not bad. Not bad as far as the money I locked in, however, my account is down from the beginning of the week. I only report the money I lock in as a result of trades coming to an end through expiration of options, or getting […]

I bought 1000 shares of Marvell (MRVL) back on 11/11/19. MRVL is a stock I expect a lot from with 5G upon us. Last week I sold a 10 contract Call against these shares to bring in some premium money. This is one I don’t want to get assigned on. After I sold the Call […]

A little earlier I sold 10 Naked Calls on Weight Watchers (WW) with the stock at $39.25. These Calls have a Strike Price of $39.50. At that time I placed a “Buy Stop” order at $39.40. My “Buy Stop” order was just triggered. I now have a Covered Call with WW expiring this coming Friday.. […]

Last week I sold 10 contracts of Weight Watchers (WW) Naked Calls. The stock stayed below my Strike Price and the Call expired. Today WW is down again. I’m not so sure it will continue down for the next 4 days so my strategy is a little different this week. With the stock at $39.25, […]

I just bought 200 shares of Apple (AAPL) at $317.50. I’m hoping the stock goes up a little before I sell a 2 contract Call. I’ll be watching closely until I get the Calls sold. I’ll be looking for a 1% return for the premium only with a 4 day option. Buy 200 Shares AAPL […]
