STOP WATCHING OTHERS HAVE SUCCESS!
Using Covered Calls and Cash Secured Puts ONLY!
What constitutes a profit? Covered Call and Cash Secured Put premium and if I purchased a stock or ETF to use exclusively for the selling premium strategy and I sell the stock during the same timeframe for a profit and or if my shares are taken away from me at a profit. Simple as that - now let's break it down!

My summary of the Month, Expectations and Results
NOTE: THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE TAX HARVESTING LOSSES > for which will be allocated to January 2022 balance sheet > as for this December 2021, selling premium did meet my income goals! as I was challenged most of the month (handcuffed) by not having trades to do ... I was tax harvesting and setting that money to the side and can't touch it because it's going to be used in 2022 as part of the Disaster Recovery (DR) Plan ... so to bring in $3,694 on a month I feel I was at the top of my game ... well, that's pretty darn good.
PROFIT BREAKDOWN (Stock & Premium)
HOW MUCH TOTAL CAPITOL WAS USED?
Explanation of Total Capital Used ... every trade ties up capitol ... if I do a CSP I have to set aside that amount of money ... that trade has a capital requirement ... it gets logged. If I bought a stock and wrote a Covered Call ... that trade has a capital requirement and it gets logged ... so all of these trades equaled a Total Capital Requirement of what's below
$182,125.00
Wait, you always say you use $225,000 yet this number can be higher? ... Yes ... remember, I chipped off about ~$225,000 to buy the stocks I use ... sometimes I have $225k worth of stocks, sometimes I do not ... this is purchased stocks. The number above represents many Selling Premium trades using the SAME STOCK .. so I didn't use more ...

My thoughts on the Monthly Krums! (above)
Very favorable month for my high standards ... reaching my goal of +$2,500 a month ... as I mentioned above ... I used many of the same stocks and didn't use any stocks that were tax harvested ... so although I held Zillow, Draft Kings, so on ... here's how the month planned out.
Premium Profit / Loss and $$$ invested
Below are all the Premiums, Money Invested and Cash On Cash % gains or losses ... also the contracts used to obtain these results
COMPANYTYPECONT/SHRSMONEY INVESTED
TNACSP200$15,000.00
CSP - With the Markets selling off some -900pts ... I used this as a chance to use the negative volitily to pick up a decent premium for this 13% OTM Strike
Trade is CLOSED - TNA did exactly what I thought, rallied to $88 and this option fell from $4.40 to $1.11 ... way over -50% so I take this off the board, using this money for something different.

TNACSP100$6,500.00
CSP - Markets selling off again using the new covid variant as its excuse ... with inflation fears being the cherry on top ... just using the Cash Secured Put vs buying shares ... the ETF would have to fall another -12% for my strike to be challenged ... watching and will Roll down if I have too
Trade is CLOSED - As with my other TNA CSP the option has fallen under -50% and wanted to use this money for other trades ... I just decided we take this off the board, sit back and watch the markets ... good profit for this amount of time invested.

RKTCCW3500$55,055.00
CCW - Looking to keep these 3,500 shares of RKT working while I continue to battle back from a higher stock purchase price (cost basis is closer to $19.50) ...
WHY I CLOSED this CCW Trade early - just feeling that this will slowly drift to nothing by Dec-23rd, I wanted to put on another trade prior to next week ... maybe try something closer to the money and maybe collect this 0.07 back + some decent prem to make this trade continue ... basically, bought it back cheap to do another

CMICCW100$23,67 ec-16
CCW - Just looking to continue this smooth and easy trade on Cummings ... collect another 2% on this trade and although it is some 67 days ... I donr mind do this trade ... CMI isnt a big holding in the portfolio so I will collect this premium and if my shares are taken its ALL GOOD with making my money back and over +$17 in premiums and dividends collected since working this investment.
WHY I CLOSED this CCW Trade Early - CMI is drifting sideways, this option is drifting sideways and with only 0.30 to capture in what amounts to over a month holding it ... I can either do another CCW and keep this trade going or SELL the shares at a loss ... because Im serioulsy down ... I havent decided yet but for now this CCW is taken off the board.

RKTCCW500$7,880.00
PMMC - PMMC - Nothing is happening with RKT over the next 4 weeks that I feel this $17 Strike will be challenged ... its the 29 Delta for this Strike/Expire so even if RKT moved higher I feel I could manage the trade by ROLLING out and higher. Krum here, Krum there game plan
WHY I CLOSED this PMCC CCW Trade - 10 days left, option almost worthless and this being a PMCC trade Im all about rolling and rolling so I will dial up another 30 day, 30 Delta :)
See RT post: Go to UCPTD Download Hub > Click Blog site > Search date >Dec-3
RKTCCW3500$55,580.00
CCW - Simple, I want to collect as many low risk krums using these shares are possible ... low risk meaning, the strike price being OTM such that I wont have it challenged much but if it is we will roll higher ... still under my stock purchase price, we keep doing this until we dont.
WHY I CLOSED this CCW Trade > the option has fallen under -50% and such a short amount of time, just figure we'll roll this out a week on the expire date and try to pick up the same 0.50+ cent premium and keep this krum train rolling.

PYPLCCW100$18,436.00
PMMC - Paypal had earnings and Wall Street did some downgrades for which caused the stock to fall some -40% from its highs ... this seems a bit much for one of the most cutting edge, high profile banks with growth ... this is a value play in my mind
WHY I CLOSED this PMCC CCW Trade - With PYPL not getting to $200 and chances are they wont by the 31st ... I looked at another 30day, 30 Delta and I can pick up another $3.50ish so Im going to try to keep this going ...

My thoughts on the Money Invested vs % returns (above)
$3,694+ is a winner ... if I'm in retirement on a fixed income and not having many recurring bills ... making this much SHOULD BE good enough to live the good life and pay some bills ... least that's what I'm hoping :)
Comparing over the years
These totals represent what I've made during this month of the year since I started selling premium

Final thoughts on this month as compared to the past (above)
2021, indeed breaks a record for me ... December traditionally is a slow month ... but feeling I needed to PUSH THE GAS to beat 2020's $109k ... I kept driving ... didn't reach that record BUT DID make this my best ever.
