I am not showing off, I am just giving ideas on how to make more money so others can explore. This is how much I made - 330 + 169 + 174 = 673. If 673 is a small amount for you , then you are already a millionaire.

Thanks for sharing, this is indeed helpful for me as a beginner to options. If it is not too much trouble, may I know how did you protect yourself when you sold these three puts? In the sudden event the price suddenly falls or gaps down? Thanks!

I usually select reputable stocks that are already beaten down and then I sell puts at a much lower price. If one selects an expiry date which is 2-3 weeks out and a much lower strike price when the market is volatile , then one gets paid a good premium. I don’t sell Puts for stocks when they are going to report earnings as the risk is very high. I have been assigned shares only twice while selling Puts , where I made a mistake of selecting an expiry date of one week and a strike price just below the current trading price. When I was assigned 100 shares of RCL, I sold covered calls on them thus earning more premium and lower my cost basis and eventually sold them in a big profit. You need to be patient and wait for the right opportunity. If you are new to options , then I would suggest you try paper trading to get a hang of it.

These are my sold Puts expiring on 07 Jan 2021. As you can see most of them are “out of the money” for now but CZR is very close following yesterday’s drop after the FOMC.
103096819 : Such a trivial thing. No need to show off lah
