January 2015 Dividends , Options , Adsense and Interest Monthly Report


 Another consistent month for dividend paying stocks. A few of my oil stocks have cut their dividends down but it is as expected and did not really make a dent.

Options activity really picked up. I am at my highest Premium month ever with over $3,300. This consisted of playing Apple puts. I sold weekly puts and they all expired worthless as Apple stock rose upwards. Just wished I played it even more lol, but nobody has a crystal ball and I should be happy for the premiums I received.

Interest paid out was a bit higher but it consisted of lat month when I borrowed 100k on margin to make an Apple stock flip for a couple thousand in profit.

Adsense activity is up a but from 2 good days primarily and pageviews are an improvement from last month.

  4. Asset-Grinder,

    That is some serious cash coming in with dividends and option premiums. Congrats on both of those sources of income. Who do you use as a broker?

    1. I use TD . They have good tools but their fees are quite high. I pay $10 a trade and often between $12-25 for option trades. Its adding up. I am looking to make the move to interactive brokers and try it out for a bit with a small 10k investment to test drive the platform. If its good I will transfer my whole account there. Interactive brokers have the lowest margin rates as well which is a huge plus on top of lower trading fees.

  8. Rockin' right out of the gate AG! Playing AAPL has worked out pretty well for you so far given its regular fluctuations. Here's to seeing this level of production for the duration of this year!

  12. While the dividends coming in are impressive the options premiums really got my mouth watering. Is it a wash because of the interest you had to pay? I still want to get into options whether covered call writing or writing puts to buy into positions I won't mind owning. Either way that was a stellar options month. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Interest is relatively low. My interest in mainly from my Canadian account holding my reits. I really like playing the options and starting to get the swing of it. Great way to pump your income up. Worst case scenario I own a stock I like at a good price level.

  13. January is typically the slowest month of the year. 2k income is excellent. Looking forward to seeing later months.

  15. What do you think of AdSense so far? How many spots do you have? I'm thinking of implementing it myself.

    1. adsense is alright. Hey I am not getting rich off of it at $20 a month lol. I got 3 spots and lucky if I get a click a day lol. If I was full time writer like dividend mantra and getting over 1k a month I would be pretty happy. But for now I will give an uodate here and there and hope for the best with my sub par writing skills. I swear my simple posts take forever to do. Heck I still look down at the keyboard when I type!

  16. I'm always impressed with the ways you can generate more income every month. I'd love to get into the more aggressive income generating strategies like you, but it's hard with only a part-time intern job as a safety net. Keep grinding away, I'm definitely learning a lot from you!

    1. Please take your time to do your own research when it comes to income generating. I by no means label myself an expert. I dont mind trying new things even if I fail. I try to learn from my mistakes and others as well.

      Just keep an open mind when it comes to investing.

  17. January was a great month for premium sellers with the heightened volatility. I am hoping the volatility will remain elevated through out 2015 as fattens up those premiums. Got to love the Theta decay.

    Why sell weekly options vs standard monthly options? Do you think the Gamma risk is worth it? What kind of probability of expiring out of the money do you aim for when you are selling options?

    I tend to stick to about 80% of my premium sales on index ETF's. It takes out a lot of binary event risk associated with individual equities.

    Do you also sell calls against your equity positions?

    Cheers!

    1. When stocks seem lofty I will write an out of the money covered call on them with a time frame of 1-3 weeks.

      When I anticipate a stock to still rise like apple I sell puts at a few dollars below the current asking price. Usually just weekly puts at that point. If I want to own the stock I will let myself get called at certain prices and then right away write weekly covered calls on them for a few dollars on top. If I am about to get called on my puts and dont want to own I will buy back the put and rewrite for the following week and a lower price point but somewhere where I still can make a few extra bucks.

      The VIX index has been all over the map lately and when its high the juicy premiums come into place.Sometimes its just not worth the risk

      When writing out of the money calls I aim for about a 5% pop. Sorry If i didnt answer all your questions.
