May 2015 Dividends , Options , Adsense and Interest Monthly Report

My portfolio just keeps on trucking with steady dividend payers mainly due to my monthly payers with REITs doing the heavy lifting.

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.
