Darn, out for a 2 point profit, starting my long build at 4680 once again...It's nice to see option premiums coming back to neutral once again, puts could be a little more bearish but this is still just an initial decline so we have to get the rebound first and then we'll see!!

Btw, now taking profits on my sold January 4850 calls for $2 for a profit of $24 and Wednesday sold the January 4400 puts for $11.  those along with the 4000 puts, 4900 calls will likely be held until the last week of expiration, after today, 10-days to go!!! 

 

Meanwhile profit stop 4685....

I am convinced I should get into those type of OPTION trades that are quite profitable but I need to work on it.

Nice thing about selling option premium is you pick how much risk you want to take and make a steady monthly income off of it.  Think the option market is now in the trillions and about 88% of those expire every month!!
