Lots of activity this month. Not all of it great, but none of it very bad (yet). Three of my short put positions were assigned to me, and the rest expired worthless. The expired options netted me $3,019.73 of income last month, and I was forced to buy STEC, NTES, and NDN at prices slightly higher than market. I immediately wrote November calls against my long stock positions for a total of $3,710.88, and opened 10 short put positions for November expiration for $7,118.33. I'm hoping my stocks climb a bit to somewhere above the call strikes so I can keep the call premiums, and of course I hope the underlyings of my short put positions don't close below their corresponding strikes at November expiration. Best case scenario would net me around $10,739.51.
