haha like I said I've only been doing this for 2 months or so strictly on PM,V, and a few on PSX when it dipped into the low 57's. I won't BS you into thinking im some financial guru, but I did return close to 10% last month but that's bc the whole market was up in general. I mean I have a good grasp on what I want to own at what price and when the puts look like good profits I strike. I learned early to close and take profits ASAP and not get greedy with PSX it fluctuated between $57.50 and $58.25 so much and my put would be up $1000 one day then down $200 the next day and still expire worthless at week end, so now when I get up and Im happy with the profit I close it and if it drops the next day i sell the put again and hop back in.

Always take profits don't get greedy going for the entire premium on expiration, when you're satisfied take the money and run

I'm getting mentally ready for that. I never go off half-cocked - I always remain fully cocked. I'm just trying to get a grasp of what that looks like.

I'm still months away from trying a straddle or other chained options. I do want to sell some puts for stocks I want to own, anyway. I could have improved positions in both KO and V had I done that (but I can't buy a whole book of V yet.)
