Another solid month for options as my second highest total so far with $4,680.68. I achieved that by selling Apple weekly puts at close to the asking price. If it looks like I will be called on my option I will just buy it back at sell the following week at equal or greater money. This has been my main option strategy providing me income. I also sell covered calls on the stock I do own and employ the same strategy of buying back the call and reselling at a later date.
My interest paid has gone up as I have to pay a few bills here and there and will go up further next month as I have some big property tax bills due next month.
Adsense has gone up even tho my activity on the blog has slowed to a crawl lately. My overall views are trending down due to my inactivity. When I have more time I will write more posts.
