I think you're doing OK. You're learning and seem to be keeping the bets small. Over time you'll find a strategy that suits you. You really need to consider the worst likely scenario. I know the premiums are very tempting now. Some month the market WILL turn on you. Stick yourself with a bunk of junk at once and your capital is now tied up. That encourages selling at a loss just to escape owning companies you aren't actually comfortable with long-term. It's OK to trade F if you like, just don't have most of your positions in similar quality There is almost always something out there with half decent credit you can ride out the storm with if you get stuck. The premium may be a little less of course.
