August 2020 Options Income Report - $958.04
Here at OptionsBrew.com, we believe transparency is the key to success and that's why we have decided to share our monthly options income reports covering details behind the scenes. That said welcome to the fourth (#4) options income report.
Last August we did in total 61 trades / from which most were credit spreads and naked puts, just a few were covered calls
There are 43 left open trades with expiry in the next months, with most (40) expiring in September.
We managed to make $958.04 from options income during the month of August, which is about 9.58% from our $10,000 goal for 2020. On average it will ask us to make at least $1,615.60 every month for the next 4 months to reach our goal.
Here are the stocks we traded options on in August 2020: AMS:INGA, BAC, AMC, NRZ, TLRY, SDC, GPS, SPCE, ET, M, SNAP, NIO, ARCC, RIOT, AAL, BCRX, AMS:AGN, BCS, PBCT, TWO, CRBP
in bold, stocks we sold covered calls on
Top stocks with premium generated
We traded both weekly and monthly options. This is the plan we would like to keep with in the future. Weekly options are a very powerful tool to generate income.
Our top 3 stock we collected premium: BCRX, AMC and SDC. These 3 stocks account for about 40% of options premiums
Our best trades in August was with ET and F:
Closed ET Covered Call with +$53.8 Profit (8.27% yield in 43 days)
Closed F Covered Call with +$57.6 Profit (8.31% yield in 65 days)
We kept struggling with BAC, and TWO stock. We hope on some positive developments with these stocks during the month of September.
On an overall - decent month, with a lot of credit spreads
All trades are available in the trading journal or under the archive: August 2020
Half of the income will be withdrawn, while for the other half we bought 8 shares of O.
We now hold 100 shares of PBCT and 12 shares of O in our dividend stock portfolio. Once there will be 100 shares of O stock, we are going to sell covered calls on it
The dividend stock portfolio now generates an average $7.48/mo dividend income. These latest buys give us a little +$1.59 monthly boost
