On September 3, 2019, I made the following put sell -ET APR 17'20 14 Put Sell @1.77 - actually I rolled forwarded a trade I originally opened at the start of August and which approached to the expiration in the money zone.
Not willing to be assigned yet - I roll forwarded this trade to April 2020 That's what I really like when trading options, in most cases you can adjust your trades.
This was already the sixty-seventh( #67) put sell from my short options trader career. For now, it seems I've found my way in options trading - I'm selling puts against (high) dividend-paying stocks I already own or I would like to have.
ET currently is trading at $13.43 and has a yearly dividend payout of $1.22 giving a yield of 9.08% (before taxes). Dividends are paid quarterly in the following months - Feb, May, Aug, and Nov. These are the months I'm always worried about, in case I will be assigned ET stock before options expiry I will have 100 shares paying me dividends in lowest months of the year. Awesome.
Got for this trade a premium of $177, but I will be obligated to buy 100 shares of ET if the price will stay below $14 USD per share by APR 17, 2020
Break-even price: $12.23
This latest trade gives 20.05% yield annually
In case I will be obligated to buy this stock, I already have collected premium, and my real buying price will be $12.23 or just $1,223 for 100 shares of ET with an annualized dividend at $1.22 that's 9.9% dividend yield.
