Investors are always looking for ways to generate additional income from their investments, and one strategy they can consider is selling put options. This strategy involves selling a put option contract and collecting the premium, with the obligation to buy the underlying stock at a specified strike price if the stock falls below that price by the expiration date. If the stock price does not fall below the strike price, the investor keeps the premium as profit. I was first introduced to the…

For a long time, I couldn't find the answer to the question - to write cash-secured puts or write covered calls? Now, it seems I have found the answer.

In this article, I decided to take a look at 3 stock names I actually trade options with AMZN, BAC, and INTC. All but, AMZN, also are dividend-paying stocks, meaning if you…

In this article, I will share my idea for growing back my stock portfolio by starting small. Long story short, after several years with a costly Dutch Lynx Broker (affiliated with Interactive Brokers), where I was paying high commissions for stock buys (sells) and options trades I finally closed it in mid-September 2022, closing all the positions and withdrawing funds. Because of some regulation, I was not allowed to open an Interactive Brokers account (much cheaper commissions) for a 6 month…

Today was the last day in Riga and Latvia for a while. No More Vilgale, no more Ječi, and no more Riga until Spring 2023 (earliest).  QSI school started today in Tbilisi, but we will still skip the first days and should start our new school year on Monday. Back in April we already ordered the MyHeritage DNA test, and today was the day when we finally took it, sealed and sent it back to Germany. Now we wait for some 6 weeks I guess. Exciting. I guess I will let I have some Russian, Belarussian…

On April 8, 2021, I bought additional 8 shares of Intel Corporation (INTC) for our daughter's stock portfolio, paying $66.80 per share. Funds for this purchase were taken from my dad's inheritance fund. With its quarterly dividend payout of $0.34 per share, this latest buy has a dividend yield of 2.03% and will pay us $2.72 (before tax) every quarter. Not the biggest addition to the portfolio, but every bit counts. We are now holding 62 shares with INTC Our average buy price: $57.28 I plan…
