| COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE | |||||||||
| WHY I OPENED this CSP on > YINN | |||||||||
| This trade begins as a (31) day trade where I'm trying to capture anywhere from 1.2% - 1.3% for a weekly Cash Secured Put and 3% or more for a monthly expiration. This trade will make $540 which is 4.29% on money invested | |||||||||
| Further commentary as to why I opened this trade > | |||||||||
| YINN (3x leverage to the China Large Caps) > YINN is currently trading in a defined range, and I believe the near-term low is around $41/$42 > With the ETF trading at $44.10, I think there’s a good chance it moves higher from here and if it pulls back to $42, then we will start a CC campaign using our cost basis as we always do. | |||||||||

| > as with every trade, I will manage this trade as it approaches expiration ... buying back the option if it adheres to my -50% and 0.10 cent guidelines. -50% guideline being, such this option price fall 50% or more in the first 2 weeks I will buy back and look to roll the option - if the this option falls to 0.10 or less (in most cases) I will buy back the option and roll it for another credit if it presents itself. | |||||||||

| DID I BUY A DIVIDEND FUND WHILE WAITING? | |||||||||
| While I hold this cash-secured put (2 or more weeks) , I am going to take the premium and put it to work by buying a dividend-paying fund for the timeframe. Figuring I'll buy this option back for $0.10 or less, I'll take the entire premium (minus that $0.10) and buy a fund — making additional income and using my cash flow as efficiently as possible. | |||||||||
