Welcome options traders, I hope you had a great Holiday!

Here comes my brief recap of our December options trades

The last December, we did a total of 66 trades / from which most were covered calls and credit spreads. Also, we rolled forward a few trades from the previous months.

In total, we managed to take $160 from options income during the month of December, which is well below what we excepted ($500)

Market volatility and a few bad trades are to blame.

We did a few debit trades, as we got troubled with Pfizer stock, as the stock surged we decided to enjoy the ride and rolled up a few call options, which was somehow a little bit costly, but we hope it will pay us back in future months.

Dividend income

Our dividend income portfolio’s value now is $28186 (+$2,764), and it generates about $77.88 (+$5.53) in monthly dividend income. The current annual yield is about 3.32%

Here are all of our holdings (as of December 31, 2021)

On the last days of December, I sold of AAPL and HPE shares to decrease a negative cash balance and avoid a possible margin call in my brokerage account

Trading plan for January 2022 (Option trades & Stock Buys)

I’m looking to keep decreasing my negative cash balance and currently, there are no plans on new stock buys.

From covered calls/credit spreads - we are looking to take ~ $200 during the month of January.
