Closed Options
When an out of the money option goes further out of the money, one may close the option early and secure most of the options income.
I did not close any options this month.
Rolled Options
An option can be rolled forward by buying back an option and selling another option with a later expiration date. Rolling is done to avoid options assignment for in the money options.
I did not roll any options this month.
I did not sell any call options this month.
I did not sell any put options this month.
New Call Options Sold
Selling calls is a way to earn premiums from time decay on securities that are unlikely to reach a certain strike price within a certain time frame. This is best done on stocks you already own so as to limit liabilities should the underlying security shoot to the moon.
I did not sell any call options this month.
New Put Options Sold
Selling put options is a way to earn premium for agreeing to buy a stock at a given price for a period of time. This is best done with high quality, buy and hold stocks that have limited downside.
I did not sell any put options this month.
Options Expiring Next Month
No option will expire next month.

I have not done much options trading lately given the high market conditions. I don't want to bet against the bull market, but also don't want to pile on additional risks when the stock market seems overextended. The high market is helping me secure more options income though.
